Jan 2016

Two years ago I switched from a high-starch vegetarian diet to an all-meat keto diet. In the first year I lost 50 lb (22% of body mass), BP dropped from 155/110 to 115/70, lipids normalized, and my longstanding GERD, edema and violent post-prandial mood swings all vanished. This situation has now been stable on the same diet for a second year.

You may believe what you wish, but you can't legislate my body's dietary needs.
