Keto allows so many grams of carbs a day, 20-30. It’s not about limiting calories as much as carbs. Some doctors say eat as much fat as you want, others say balance fats and proteins.

Carnivore is almost zero carb. Hubby’s diet is meat (including organ meat) eggs and fish. He will sometimes eat cheese but it increases inflammation.

He feels great and amazingly his cholesterol is within normal range now. It had always been high, even when he was a skinny teenager and even when doctors had him on a statin!

Hmmm... Thanks. I didn’t know there was s difference. A couple years ago I did keto for 6 months and lost about 30 pounds. I did it to lower the glucose number on my blood panel. Surprisingly, it decreased, but very little — only about 2 points.

Ate meat, poultry, cheese, eggs, fish, veggies, carb-balance tortillas, keto bread (gross).

No sugar, pasta, rice, bananas, potatoes 😢, soda of any kind.

I should start it again ‘cause I felt so good on it. If it were just me it would be easy, but there are two of us.
