I forgot to say that Dad smoked cigarettes, along with the rest of the drinking and lived to be 88. His diet wasn't great, and I'm sure he could care less if he could spell keto, lol.

I wonder if the docs and researchers study these kinds of people? Drinking and smoking and living to 80 or more?

I had my walnuts, peanuts, cukes tonight, I sure miss my dad 🙂

When I talk to my nurse tomorrow, I'll get a carb count Target for the 'diet' and share it

@user_ch53e9c09 I'd appreciate it then I,ll know more of what not to eat I'm sorry about your DaD You where close? Your fortunate my Dad died from heart attack I was only 6 I use to go to his grave and just figure out things

@user_chdb5e8ac

I am sorry to hear that you lost your dad. I agree with your amazement of how long a person can live with an unhealthy lifestyle. I'm sure that genetics must play a role in overall general health. I'm guessing that your dad must have also had a strong immune system. Did he get colds, flu, etc. very often?
