I got over 220 in November 2023.  This morning I was 185.  The lowest I 
got was 179 last June.  Keto does work, it's not unhealthful, and one 
doesn't need to stay in a condition where one is spilling ketones into 
urine.  Those test strips are only about giving oneself a pep talk.  If 
those GLP-1 shots were both cheap, and I knew for certain that I wasn't 
depriving diabetic, pre-diabetic and clinically obese persons of being 
able to purchase them, I'd do that too, as they seem to have few other 
negatives.

I'm a hedonist, so eating is motivated by pleasure seeking as well as 
avoidance of hunger pangs, so hunger suppressants aren't a magic bullet, 
but shit, I'd love to be thin again, and restricting carbohydrates and 
keeping proteins stable works.

I'm also very careful with non-animal-based fats--I'm sloppy with 
animal-based fats. I buy pricey pomegranate seed oil.  You should too, 
and you shouldn't do it *just* on my recommendation, but you should look 
into it yourself.  There are zero downsides other than the expense.

Ketogenic eating is about regarding avocados as a staple, rather than 
potatoes.  You don't need to be hardcore all the time, but just know 
where the edge is, which is familiar to me from a lifetime of eating 
pussy--efficiency for the sake of pleasure.

I tried to send the above last night, but often my posts don't go 
through.  Here's this morning's breakfast.
