My parents both died early due to obesity diseases. I'm the only one in my family under 300 pounds.

I saw my parent's demise as a potential future of mine and didn't like that.

I tried 3 or 4 other diets before I found this one. Weight loss was my goal.

Keto is simple for me. Fewer than 20 carbs, approximately twice as much fat as protein, and don't stuff myself.

I don't have to restrict particular foods like the Paleo folks, or the Mediterranean folks, if it's low carb and the protein/fat ratio is close, it's OK to eat.

I don't have to work at it.

I just have to avoid what used to be bliss foods for me. I have new bliss foods now.
