I suppose different diets would work for different people.

I come from a family of +300 pound people.

My parents both died too soon from obesity related causes, and I saw that as my future.

I strived to keep from going there, and never got lower than 250. I tried a number of different methods, and the last one I tried was Atkins. I lost weight on that one and kept it off.

I never got past Atkins Induction. If I tried to increase my carbs over 20, my belt would get tight, and the numbers on the scale would increase.

Since then my typical diet is fewer than 20 net carbs per day, and twice as much fat as protein.

I'm extremely healthy for my age - or for any age. My doctor says I'm an easy patient, and only sees me once a year.

If you don't have your health, nothing else matters.

No amount of "fake science ad-speak" is going to convince me to do otherwise.

I like that I can find a lot of keto products, but if they go away, like the Atkins ones did, I'll do what I did between the two "fad" diets.
