[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Main keto poster here, and this is what I feared would happen.. the fear mongering.  Here's the deal, my cholesterol looks great now.  I've reduced my risk of early death by having good blood markers AND losing over 50 pounds.  I was 7 pounds away from becoming morbidly obese and now am mid-range for my "healthy" weight range.  If I go back to the doctor in a year, and something is amiss, I'll absolutely change it.  But right now, I'm not the winded, napping, snappy, unfocused person I was before.  The processed food I was eating was harming me.  Could I have done this with grilled chicken breasts and olive oil and quinoa?  Maybe.  But, I've done low calories, lower fat, carb heavy diets and I was CONSTANTLY starving.  For me, getting the weight off was the most important thing, and I did.  Using ground beef, cheese, and heavy cream.  I didn't have any rashes or hair loss (actually, after my thyroid improved ON ITS OWN my hair is much better!), constipation was a non-issue since I didn't eat weird made up keto foods and eat veggies with every meal, and I got nothing on the kitty keto whatever.  I hoping to tell MY story to the OP, which is ... if you need to change something and nothing has worked in the past, I've been there. [b] And so I finally decided to stop being so hardheaded and try something new.[/b]  The weight loss is great, but the fact that I'm healthy, happy and confident in my skin makes all the difference.  I didn't want to live my life sick, tired and obese anymore.[/quote]

But here's the thing - you aren't just telling your story.  You're evangelizing.  As I pointed out before, you posted:

[quote]MDs have been pushing low fat, lots of whole grain diets for 50 years now and ... we are literally dying from diabetes and obesity.[/quote]

You're suggesting that other ways of eating (such as the Mediterranean diet) are don't work, and actually are counterproductive.  You continue that in this post, with the bolded comment, which suggests that people who try other ways of eating healthy and losing weight are just being stubborn, and refusing to accept that Keto is the way to lose weight.

I get that its working for you, and I'm happy that your're healthier.  But you're ignoring a lot in your story.  For example, you used to eat a sleeve of oreos at a time (and I'm sure that wasn't the only unhealthy food choice you made).  Perhaps the fact that you've finally stopped making those bad choices has as much or more to do with your weight loss than the particular diet you're on now.  You refuse to acknowledge that, and attribute all of the weight loss to Keto while simultaneously denigrating other diets/weight loss methods.  That's irresponsible, and intellectually dishonest.
