I've lost 50 pounds and kept it off.

I don't remember exactly when I went on LC, 20-30 years ago?

Anyway, it was called Atkins Induction then, now Keto, I've kept the weight off, seldom miss the things I had to give up, and definitely don't crave the things I gave up.

I'm still doing fewer than 20 carbs a day and eating twice as much fat as I do protein. It's the easiest and most effective diet I've ever tried, and as far as I can tell, this will be my way of eating for life.

The only time I cheat a little is on my yearly vacation. While in a foreign country tasting small portions of foods not available here in the US and probably loaded with too many carbs is hard to resist. Keeping the portions small and only tasting those that are really attractive is the key.
