food Keto diet discussion and recipe exchange

[Quinch 1,120]

Since it seems to be a growing {or at least a fairly grown thing}, what do you think about it? For those who haven't heard of it, or don't know much about it, the short version is that it relies on cutting out sugars and carbohydrates out of one's diet entirely and forces the body into what's called ketosis, essentially a fat-burning mode, even if you were to on go on an exclusive diet of butter and bacon.

Any personal experiences? Opinions?

I think like most extreme diets it will work well for some, be a good short term solution for others and for many not be sustainable.

Diets like many items should be highly customized to the individual. Just ensure you are getting proper nutrition, and its sustainable for you

I think "everything in moderation" is a better concept than any of these diet fads. Whole grains are good for you too (or at least much better than butter and bacon...) 

Anyone who is serious about going on one of these extreme diets should check with a nutritionist first to make sure it is right for their body and lifestyle and that they'll still get all the nutrients they need.
