Cool! How do you define keto for yourself (carbs allowed per day)? I am just starting to reduce carbs for health reasons but not (yet?) to keto level as defined by most. It's tough for me, bc after being vegetarian for several years, I feel forced into eating animals I know probably had sh***y lives, bc to get enough protein on a real-food veg diet (especially as an athlete), too many carbs come along for the ride, and regen/humane meat is just too $$ and hard to verify. Why does the modern food system make it so hard to eat healthfully and ethically?? You have to be so vigilant just to avoid added sugar. 😔 Sorry to vent... and good luck on your keto journey!

For me it means avoiding as many carbs as possible. I'm eating high fat (mostly animal). I'm not counting carbs but would imagine I'm around 20g a day.

As for the expense of eating well, I believe that is partially by design. An unhealthy herd is more reliant on the Shepard. It is also a major benefit to pharmaceutical companies.

I hope you find your path and feel free to vent anytime along the way.

Wow. That is definitely full-on keto! I hope it keeps working for you.

And agreed about an unhealthy herd. Except most actual shepherds are better off when their herd is healthy. The incentives in our current system are completely backward. 🙁
