“I am convinced eating keto saved my life...I am on a road to health now......still have work to do but getting there.....”
Outstanding. One of the ‘tactics’ used by the Left* is to note that the Keto diet is difficult to maintain, as it means having to give up a huge portion of the food that is still available to people.
...and that would be a legitimate point of discussion regarding people who are only interested in losing weight, where getting the weight off is more for appearance and hopefully staying healthy down the road. That pizza won’t kill you tomorrow...just means more dieting, starting ‘next week’.
But for MILLIONS of other people, who are diabetic and on Insulin (Type 2 only), the restrictions imposed by Keto seem very, very, reasonable, compared to what they’re facing (nerve damage, blindness, organ failure, loss of limbs). For many, perhaps most of them, going Keto is a something they’d much prefer, if it means ridding themselves of Insulin and likely the future consequences that they would otherwise face. The problem, of course, is that lots of people they trust (starting with doctors) or not yet on board - but they will be, as the science is on our side (along with the incredible results).
*and don’t fool yourselves, the people fighting Keto the hardest are the Leftists, as the last thing they want is for people to go back to eating red meat, as it pretty much opposes just about everything they stand for (animal rights, vegans, social justice, happy people, etc.)
We had to fight dietitians and doctors to help our relatives put their diabetes into remission with low carb. I have a friend with diabetes who took this information to his doctor and the doctor said we were quacks, so he still eats a high carb, diabetes-doctor approved diet.
