Want to lose weight? Quit eating. Drink lots of water. Works.

I do intermittent fasting with keto on the 'feed' days. So yes, I know that it works. Fasting is basically keto, by the way. You are breaking down fat stores into ketones to meet the body's energy needs. In both cases, the goal is to maintain insulin to a low level.

Any talk about keto and/or fasting being similar to diabetes is silly. Since doing these, my insulin and glucose levels are normal - perfect - for the first time in years. My blood pressure is normal for the first time in my adult life. All my vitamin levels are perfect, all my blood work is perfect including cholesterol (good up, bad down) and triglycerides. I get my blood work done quarterly so not a fluke.

But whatever, have a donut because that's less diabetic sounding somehow.
