1 Year of Keto, 77% the man I used to be
I started Keto on October 20, 2014 and started posting my experiences on November 4, 2014. A lot has happened in a year, I’m 77% the man I used to be; so let’s do a retrospective. (more…)
Family Photos, 1 year later
We recently had family photos taken, the last time was 11 months (and 60lbs) ago, just 4 days after I started doing Keto back on October 25, 2014. Time for a comparison.
Strangely enough, I’m wearing the exact same pants, but in a 34 instead of the 38s I wore last year.
And for kicks, here is a comparison from just before I started Keto and about 3 weeks ago:
Awesome results from a Keto Chow user

Redux: What if blaming the obese is blaming the victims?
I’ve posted this before but with the whole “Dear Fat People” video (if you don’t know, consider yourself lucky) I think it should be seen again:
Great NYTimes article by Gary Taubes
Linky: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/30/opinion/diet-advice-that-ignores-hunger.html?_r=0
As described on Reddit:
An excellent article highlighting the differences between fat and carb restricted diets, and the aftermath when people end them, and the effect that carbs have on increased hunger.
Gary Taubes is the guy that wrote “Why we get fat and what to do about it” and “Good Calories, Bad Calories”
I also found this great (older article): http://www.businessinsider.com/9-lies-about-fat-that-destroyed-the-worlds-health-2013-11
Great interview with a doctor, she explains how low carb works in simple terms
She’s been doing less than 20g/day of carbohydrates (Keto) for 13 years! She also does a very good comparison of her inability to tan and her tolerance for carbohydrates. Being pale and getting a sun burn doesn’t mean she doesn’t have enough will power – that’s just how her body is.
From the video description:
Nobody knows more about the practicalities of low carb than Dr. Mary Vernon. Here she explains it for you.
Dr Mary Vernon, MD, is one of the world’s foremost experts on treating obesity and diabetes with low carbohydrate nutrition. She is a practicing family physician, educates doctors on low carb and is active in and former president of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians (doctors specializing in treating obese patients).
