Hi @birdierobin I agree. Lots of carbohydrates do not help the adult body. I started the Keto diet out of curiosity to watch for any health benefits. 5 months later and still going. I believe the diet has neurological benefits. My neuropathy has declined slightly, become more manageable. My oversensitivity to sweets has gone where now my taste is back to normal. I can enjoy foods once again. It is a difficult diet but worth the benefits.
