The hospital nutritionist told me to eat sugar and carbs...

So? I lost 25% over the course of 18 months by simply calorie counting and readjusting my concept of ‘portions’ (I was, in fact, eating a lot more calories a day than I thought and what I considered a portion size was simply too large). I stopped calorie counting after 18 months, and despite spending the last year not counting calories and having vastly reduced exercise due to ‘work at home’, I stabilized down about 22%. A bit of math showed that if I still worked in my normal building, with the walking and stairs I took daily, I’d have continued to lose weight.

It worked for me. I’m a hell of a lot healthier, I feel a hell of a lot better, and I’m healthier and that’s what counts. I doubt keto would have worked for me, or I would have stuck with it. This did, and the better habits stuck even when I stopped paying attention.

I joined a gym last week now that I’m vaccinated and again a bit of math says mild cardio for 30 minutes just twice a week should send me back down. Hell, I might even make my goal (30%. Fucking pandemic).

Just because you lost weight on me keto and it worked for you doesn’t make it dietary Jesus. I’m glad it worked for you, but pimping it like your soul depends on it just makes it sound fucking cultish.
