90 days of strict keto, with 1 or 2 cheat meals per month. Had two slices of Whole Foods pizza for dinner, and two hours later, feel like someone unplugged me; sugar crash. Less desire to do it again. Good. 👍🏻

I don’t believe in cheat meals. Get your mind right and embrace it. Eventually, you won’t even think about it.
It’s crazy how bad you feel after carbs and sugar when you’ve cut it out of your diet. I always wonder how I even functioned before cutting them out.
Conditioning. When you're fat adapted, carbs are a kind of energy assault. Carbs aren't the root problem IMO; insulin resistence is. I got a lot healthier stopping seed oils than carbs, although those benefts took much longer to manifest. I stick to complex carbs 20-50g/day, and avoid all modern "cooking" oils. Never going back.
Seed oils are definitely a nightmare as well. Carbs are peasant food that make you fat. People function in spite of them. Insulin resistance is definitely a problem. A problem caused by sugar and carbs.
I don't think 200g a day of simple carbs makes sense, especially if your organs are ravaged by industrial lubricant oils. But grain & cattle are pretty ancient. I don't think the peasant's diet was as deadly in Hammurabi's time as it is today.
Did this today, mimosas and a cookie. Haven’t had OJ in a year. Absolutely rekt right now on the couch. Feels like a hangover.
