Poke fun if you’re so inclined.
It’s not for everyone, however, ever since I read “Sugar Blues” by William Duffy way back in the 70’s I was aware of sugar’s health issues.
So, Keto embraces a change from burning carbs to burning fat. Very low carbs, high fat plus protein to put the body into a metabolic state called ketosis.
I’ve found out that cutting almost all carbs out of one’s diet is work. The healthy avocado toast, my go to breakfast in the late morning had to be made with keto bread or bagels. I made my own bagels with almond flour, mozzarella cheese, eggs, cream cheese and baking powder. A bit dense but takes good enough to carry my sriracha mayo and fresh avocado.
Most meals seems simpler, meat or fish with keto approved veggies.
Desserts are a challenge and all I’ve enjoyed have to be home-made as far as I can tell.
Here’s three of my favorites:
- Cookie dough chocolate chip fat bombs

Drinks include almost any drink that doesn’t have sugar, high fructose syrup or anything that adds carbs. I enjoy fine wines, lemon water, black coffee, low carb beer and on occasional martini:)
I’m staying healthy with a combination of cardio work, Qi Gong, weight lifting, stretching, and breathing work. However, putting real effort into the keto diet has been rewarding.
