I have zero talent, knowledge, or skills to offer any input here, but I've seen some amazing health turnarounds with people who have done the Keto form of eating.

At its core, the idea is to convert the body from running on carbs, to running on fats.

People with a wide range of chronic issues - like diabetes - have completely reversed their condition due to (un)expected knock-on effects of that way of eating.

In essence, lower your carbohydrate intake to less than 20 grams per day, eat a lot of fatty meats, leafy greens, eggs, cheese, etc., for 1-2 months, and shit changes real fast in your biology. The unintended consequence is you basically wind up removing sugars from your diet almost entirely, as well. And my uneducated brain feels like that is more important that most of the rest of the Keto plan, because there's just so much in our diets today.

I dunno. I wonder if KB has/should tried/try Keto; if for no other reason than evidence gathering...
