Was there something I missed on the news about keto? Seems like there has been a jump in keto starters and posts here as well as other people IRL that are starting.

    Any diet that let's me butter up bacon and bacon up some sausage sounds good to me... Just a bummer keto won't let you eat a banana. 🙄

    You can alway just break training for a night or two.

    Actually, OP may be on to something:

    https://money.cnn.com/2018/09/17/news/companies/keto-diet-trend/index.html

    I guess I better get started making fat bombs and come up with some catchy name to cash in on the keto kraze!!!

    I got a few friends here dabbling in keto or LCHF. Mainly due to trying something to help them curb hunger as they find it hard to be in a deficit otherwise.

    It's become more and more trendy over the last 3-5 years and it's blown up in 2018...judging from comments I see on Facebook and Insta, most people don't really understand it or how it works and most think it's a requirement for losing weight.

    And will viciously defend keto as the only way.

    Part of the influx of keto is that it's being used more to treat a wider variety of problems...it's not just for epileptics anymore, doctors are mentioning it (or people are finding it without a dr) for migraines, parkinsons, diabetes, hormone imbalance, PCOS, cancer, autism, etc.

    How is it for treating delusions of grandeur?


    I'm asking for a friend.
