What is it with this Keto diet? I read about it constantly. It seems to be the new Atkins or South Park or whatever that was called. The same people do these trend diets every time and every time they say THIS is the one. Someone just bragged they lost twelve pounds in two weeks. So last night I researched it - no carbs. Really. All fat. Really. Probably gained most of its popularity because of - the Kardashians. Really. Side effects - something called Keto flu (headaches, nausea, feeling constipated at the beginning), and Keto breath. And isn't that funny - I remember all of those side effects the one and only time I tried Atkins. Also funny? Experts who really understand this stuff says as soon as you stop you gain all that weight right back. Hmmmm. It's funny to watch these trendy things that people absolutely live by and swear by - only to conveniently forget they ever did it a year later when the next one comes along.
Want to know why this diet was created in the 1920s? To control epilepsy. But there I was, thinking about trying it, starting today, because I have to lose some weight. I visited a site that kind of lays out what you have to do, what salad dressings you can do - no bread, no sugar, no fruit. I can do that, but what I can't do is eat salads with various ingredients seven days a week with oil and vinegar or some foul tasting dressing - I can't eat eggs every day, because I know how that will go.
