      Hey man, I was a fat ass with high cholesterol and pre diabetic. I ate keto and cut most carbs from my diet (20mg max a day) and not only did I lose 60lb, my arthritis and back pain disappeared. My cholesterol is at an acceptable levels without medication.

      Sugars and carbs are what is unhealthy. Not meats and fats.

      • When you are fat you need to cut down carbs for a while to allow cells to into burning fat for fuel. Keto diet is a very useful tool to loose weight but not yet proven to be healthy long term. Carbs are not unhealthy if sourced from wholefoods since they will always come with the one very important thing keto diets lack: fiber.

      A low carb diet high fat does not necessarily give you high ldls, which is what clogs those arteries. Same can be said about sugar, which can be stored as fat and clogs those same arteries. As long as everything is in moderation, there is nothing wrong with eating like a dog on its birthday!

      • Yeah, but it looks like there’s quite a bit of cheese melted on top of two of those servings of eggs. Plus the potatoes may have been roasted with an unhealthy oil. I agree, everything in moderation. For most meals, this person should stick to one serving of bachelor chow.
