Yeah, when my VA Dr. told me I needed to lose weight, something I already knew, he also made me an appointment with a VA Nutritionist. Right away I bought a book by Dr. Atkins and started following the instructions. This was before they called it a "keto" diet. By the time my appointment with the nutritionist came around, I had already lost 50 pounds. When I told the nutritionist what I was eating every day I'm pretty sure she thought I was lying. She told me what I "should" be eating and I just politely listened and went on my way. I lost about 20 more pounds on Atkins and then went back to a more normal diet, although I still watch the carbs. I do some brutal kettlebell routines and watch what I eat and I have kept the weight off. It seems like, to me, the most important thing is to do away with the processed sugar. You really have to watch, it seems like they put it in just about everything!
