I just tend to stay away from most marketed diet plans. I understand the science behind putting your body into ketosis and the benefits for sure as well as sticking to anti inflammatory foods. As far as any of the diet plans I have seen, it does make the most sense for sure. Health for me is a marathon, not a sprint. I find that if I try to stick to a 'diet', I end up failing, instead of eating as healthy as possible and occasionally enjoy somethings I like that I know aren't good for me, like a dessert once in a while, I mean, gotta enjoy some munchies with my cannabis, lol! Took me a long time to put on my weight and I know it will take a while to take it off if a healthy manner. I fall far short many times for sure, but as with anything, it is something that I have to stick with as with anyone. My brother in law is learning the effects of backtracking for sure. It was like when I did the Atkins diet when I was younger. I lost weight, but as soon as I went on the "maintenance" diet, I nearly reversed everything I had done in a short time. I just try to stick to good ole raw fruits, veggies, and lean meats, like I said and that tends to do well with me. I have gone from 265 lbs to 225 lbs and my blood pressure went from being in stage 1 hypertension to being 114/77 as of the other day when I went and had blood labs ran, so it seems I am doing something right. I just don't stress about following a certain kind of diet plan, I just eat healthy and happily!

the companies promoting keto products dont have a copyright on the keto diet itself... many people started to see results with it and share the truth about their results, so it is only a matter of time before companies would want to tap into that demand and produce products for them in shakes, protein bars, etc and all of a sudden it seems 'trendy'. it isn't so much of a diet plan as it is a natural mechanism that our bodies have been designed with for burning an alternative fuel source. I see it as being more about embracing a new healthy lifestyle, and getting over the decades old habit of stuffing your face constantly with carbs. Forming new habits completely and it takes time, not just a sprint or temp fad for sure. For me it has never been about weight, just health. though some might say those are same same.
