    Who would have guessed you could cure mental illness back thousands of years by eating exclusively chicken.

      That’s a carnivore diet. A ketogenic diet can be vegan.

      Not that I’m recommending a vegan keto diet, I’m just saying you got your diets mixed up.

        When has RFK ever suggested a vegan diet? The article referenced a “red meat, whole milk and animal fats” diet. So my mistake I should have said steak not chicken.

        After some health issues I did a whole food plant based, no SOS, Keto diet. My cholesterol ratio went to 1.08 without meds, I lost a ton of weight, was full of energy and got fit as fuck, and apparently I was “full of color” because I was now eating a ton of vitamins and nutrients. Great diet but viciously difficult to keep up with unless you have a peraonal chef.

        Needless to say, I am no longer that strict.

            Can confirm. I’ve been on and off keto for years, eating fats and fiber really makes you hungry a lot less often. It helps facilitate intermittent fasting if that’s something you’re into.

              one thing i noticed when i bought/ate raw coleslaw after wash(not the adulterated processed with all the sauces) it helps with helping you “go more regularly”

          I’ve also done several stints of mostly veg with some fish keto, and every time it’s like magic. Feel great, clear head, drop 5kg over a couple weeks. It’s always back-to-back social things or travel that break it. If I lived in a bubble or some keto-only hippie commune, I’d be shredded like a block of cheddar.
