I love the keto diet. It has done wonders for me, and in record time. My first introduction to it’s principles was the Atkins diet. It blew me away. Years later I discovered that the fundamentals of ketosis had been researched long before, There is, or will be soon, much more information on that in other areas of the kitchen.

Let me confess from the start. First of all, everyone is on a ‘diet’. Diet, as a noun, simply represents what we tend to eat. These days we seem to apply ‘diet’ strictly as a verb, to indicate we are actively involved in trying to lose or control our weight. In terms of what we will generally refer to as ‘the keto diet’, I have really only been truly successful in this second application of the word ‘diet’. I have had great success applying the principles to achieve weight loss, but I struggle in terms of regularly living with the strict guidelines and thus controlling my weight long term. Not to mention my stamina, ability to focus, and overall health.
