[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 2621704, member: 93179"] I don't "do keto" but I do eat a low carbohydrate /ketogenic type diet - which in essence is a normal/natural way of eating as we're designed to use both carbohydrates and fats/ketones for fuel. As I've evetually ended up as a somewhat carbohydrate intolerant T2 diabetic I eat this way because I can obtain most of the fuel I need for my energy from fats and ketones rather than mainly from the carbs which can raise my glucose levels too high. (Ketogenic diets hav also been used since the late 1700s to help control diabetes.) I can lose or maintain weight depending on whether I actually eat enough fuel or eat a bit less and burn off body fat instead. And like [USER=506169]@ianf0ster[/USER]. since I'm a human being there's no "restricted [B]feeding[/B]" involved. However because fat is a sustainable source of fuel, I may or may not choose to skip one or more meals depending on what my body feels it actually needs at the time, not what some dietary "rules" may dictate. Finally as I may just possbly be old enogh to be his great granny, I actually grew up eating mostly real food with normal full fats. So my current ketogenic type diet is broadly based on what I've nearly always eaten. And [USER=574976]@drsamrnew[/USER]: this ancient clapped out old biddy has managed to reduce and keep her T2 to lowish pre-diabetic levels for nearly 10 years, over 6 of them without diabetic meds, and to lose around 30 kilos weight - much of the time sitting on her arthritic old bum all day....o_O :oops: [HEADING=3][/HEADING] [/QUOTE]
