I went on a pretty strict keto diet for about 2 years. I could not go into keto because I had no energy at the low amount of carbs required. Carbs turn to sugar so the idea is limit as much sugar as possible. Stevia was considered the best sweetner. Most artificial sweetners were not recommended due to processing. Honey is nothing but sugar. Even organic. Peanut butter was a good snack. I like peanut butter. But 2 tablespoons of PB has about 5gm of carbs. Then what do you put the PB on? Ritz cracker? That blows it. Celery was my next choice. One stalk has about 1gm. Plus the 5gm of PB. You have eaten 7gm of your 20gm for the day. ughhh. It was too much for me.

I know we have probably high-jacked the original comment. I have mentioned I have genetic cholesterol issues that Dr's say cant be solved by what I eat. I am a firm believer in you are what you eat. However, each of us seem to have come off the assembly line with one or more small changes to the original blueprint. No matter how slight it shows up somewhere. I also was lucky enough to inherit prostate cancer. I am on the Mayo forum. Its rather lengthy but here was a fellow forum member talking of diet in rather informational/humorous way.
