So, any of you other peeps doing it?

Not a big fan of fad diets.
Keto daily intake... 2 sticks of butter and a side of bacon.
I don’t have any food allergies but I’m watching the types of food I eat and portions while I’ve increased veggies. Except potatoes, I miss them....I do eat sweet potatoes still.
Meh, counting calories and a little exercise is easier... and tastes better too.

Slight exaggeration. 70% of calories come from high end healthy fats, such as coconut, avocados, nuts, grass fed diary, grass fed ghee, sardines, salmon, free range eggs, olives, coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil, MTC oil, etc. Rarely eat bacon, and most of our protein is lean. Better to buy lean protein and add your own healthy fats, then eat a bunch of animal fat full of toxins.
I lost 100 lbs. in 6 months on Atkins back in 2003, and maintained for 10 years. Food allergies threw me off track, and that's when I put the weight back on. Keto is a modification of Atkins, so it's 2nd nature to us.
Go through ketosis yet? I'd rather be dead...

Joel, I was in ketosis the 2nd day. Since we haven't done sugar in 15 years, and where going from Atkins 20 to Keto, we didn't have to suffer through the dreaded "Keto Flu".
Intermittent fasting works well and it’s easy.

My wife misses potatoes also. In Jan 2004, after losing a ton of weight, we started Atkins Maintenance. We added sweet potatoes and whole grains to our diet, but avoided all sugar. We didn't gain a pound in those 10 years. I even drank light beer and spirits. No weight gain.
Why is it called fasting when the time goes by so slowly?

FIFY
Anyway back on track now.
I lost 30 lbs. this year by watching my carbs. I'm not fanatical but I'll do this the rest of my life. I'm 58 years old and it was time. Now I want a beer.

Good on ya.
I'm 56 and thinking that I am going to drop 25-30. But, I refuse to get ever get anal about any diet or specific foods, unless a doc tells me that death is imminent if I don't. I've always managed with sensible eating and exercise, but just gotten a bit lazy in both departments the last couple years. I still believe 100% that I can control my weight (and health) by eating less and exercising more. And if it doesn't work, f it. I'll just be fat. The day I start counting calories or closely analyzing carbs or sugars or ketones or whatever....is the day after my doctor says I'm months from croaking otherwise
