This is probably the cheapest price I've seen for a set like this, honestly if I had more room (more like more motivation to take my Covid weight off) I'd probably snag one of these!

Just do Keto and the weight will drop off.

And then the heart damage will kick in.

Really? I'm currently doing it, but I'm not educated when it comes to nutrition. Can you elaborate?

Do your own research and do what's best for you but keto just doesn't seem like a balanced diet and it's so high in fat that it can't be good for the heart (heart disease is already a leading cause of death in the US).

There's ample research that suggests a whole foods, plant based diet with minimal to no animal product consumption and little to no processed food consumption is the way to go in terms of disease prevention and longetivity. Another benefit is weight maintenance, since real food is naturally more filling and higher in fiber, which increases the feeling of satiety and helps prevent overeating. Not to mention, it's also a lot better for the environment because raising animals for livestock is very resource intensive.

There's also growing concern about seed oils (like avocado oil, canola oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, olive oil) and their negative effect on heart health and the weakening of the immune system.

This doctor could be a quack, but I share her concern about seed oils being in so many common items that people buy from the typical grocery store, like cereal, chips, bread, pasta sauce, salad dressing, etc. Read the ingredients label of random items you already have and you'll be surprised at how prevalent these seed oils are.

Doctors still have no clue what exactly cloggs arteries. It use to be all LDL is bad, now the fluffy LDL is good and low HDL is bad.. also, there's research that cholesterol from food arnt the bad guys. Refined grains and augars are the real problem.. all this info will most likely be different in 10 years... I can tell you from my experience, I was on keto after being diagnosed with high cholesterol. I ate mostly chicken breast and tuna but also some cheese.. never ever had high saturated fat foods like bacon.. when I was retested, my cholesterol numbers did not change. HDL actually dropped. Even though I lost 20lbs and felt great.. what was even more concerning, my bilirubin levels were pretty high, which told me that I could be developing gallstones or kidney stones. I started doing more research and found i needed more fiber to bring my levels back to normal. I started eating more veggies and also chickpeas and lentils.. low glycemic index carbs. I started checking my blood glucose after every meal at different times to make sure i wasnt spiking. I wont know the results until my next blood test this spring but I feel I could have had problems if I stuck with keto any longer. Maybe my body is just weird, who knows. Its an ongoing process learning what best for me. My advice for you is keep an open mind and learn everything you can. Rules ive ended up setting for myself: no gluten (separate test for anxiety issues) no foods high on the glycemic index ( if a food raises my blood sugar too much, I take it off my food list, surprisingly, oats, even steel cut oats, would spike my blood glucose) I allow myself unlimited low glycemic veggies. And I have at least 2 servings of high fiber carbs a day, usually lentils but I switch to chickpeas or other beans every now and then. My cravings have not come back at all and I'm still losing weight. I do believe balance is best. At least for me..
