Keto was a game changer for me. I was up and down my entire life. Keto, along with intermittent fasting - which is easier with keto - totally stabilized my weight. But you have to look at keto as a lifestyle, not a diet. It's not for everyone, but for whatever way my body is configured, it works for me. I never ran for the first 45 years of my life, and now I'm running full marathons at 57.

I'm not opposed to the drugs, to be clear. With the COVID lockdowns, I drifted off of keto and put on 40 lbs. I looked into GLP-1 drugs as a way to get back to where I was, and they were just way to costly for me. I manned up and went back on strict keto and within 5 months I dropped those 40 lbs.
