    Where do you ski? I love snow skiing. Usually about 2 weeks a year in Summit County, CO. Mostly Breckenridge.

    Good to hear from a fellow skier. I ski mainly Aspen. Don't hang around the "beautiful people" that hang out there but have a lot of old ski buddies some are the pioneers of "hotdog skiing" in the 70's. Guys such as Wild Bill O'Leary, Wayne Wong and John Clendenan. Aspen has 4 mountains and low altitude which helps a swamp boy like me. I do ski Summit County in April I like Breck since they have expanded it.

    What month of year do you ski?

    I am learning more about keto and its contributions towards shifting diseases. It really is more of a diet of natural things that eliminates processed foods. I have dumped breads and most baked goods entirely, but a krispy kream every once in a while to celebrate life. Butter is life. I use a little raw sugar for a few drinks, but mostly natural sweeteners like guava and honey.

    Watch the magic pill on netflix and you will get a pretty good idea how keto helps towards staving off diseases we bring on our selves. The government lied about diet, put food groups in our face and we ate that shit right up. Had they not done that, I wonder what a grocery store would even look like these days.

    I believe the data on diabetes and insulin resistance hasn’t controlled for calories. Meaning the people who become diabetic and insulin resistant over ate on sugar and also calories.

    So you want the science of it beyond overweight people? It's pretty black and white.

    If you run the calculations for 126 mg/dl, the amount of sugar in the blood of someone just over the line into the diagnosis of diabetes, you find out that it is 6.25 grams, or 1 1/4 teaspoon. So, the difference between having a normal blood sugar and a diabetic blood sugar is about a quarter of a teaspoon of sugar.

    What really gets kind of scary is when you look at the amount of carbohydrate in, say, a medium order of McDonald’s fries compared to the sugar in your blood. Remember, it is the job of your digestive tract to breakdown the starch and other complex carbohydrates, which are nothing more than chains of sugar molecules, into their component sugars so that they can be absorbed into the blood. An order of medium fries at McDonald’s contains 47 grams of carbohydrate. 47 grams of carbohydrate converts to about 47 grams of sugar, which is almost 10 teaspoons. So, when you eat these fries you put 10 times more sugar into your blood than that required to maintain a normal blood sugar level. If you figure, as we did above, that one quarter of a teaspoon is all the difference between a normal blood sugar and a diabetic blood sugar, the 10 full teaspoons would be 40 times that amount.

    Since your metabolic system has to work very hard indeed to deal with the sugar load from an order of fries, imagine what it has to do when you add a large soft drink, a hamburger bun, and maybe an apple turnover for dessert.

    When you see the long lines of cars in the at the drive-through window and the long lines of customers at the counter inside, you can see why the incidence of type II diabetes is skyrocketing

    To me, keto is mostly stupid because it's short term, doesn't have the same impact on everyone, and it limits the ability to build muscle. Long term use can increase the chances for osteoporosis. I tend to think with food, a simple approach and few rules are the best approach. As Paradise said, shop the perimeter of the grocery store. Avoid boxes and cans and bottles. Drink a lot of water. Eat to live rather than live to eat. And yes, a sweet treat every now and then is totally fine.

    Worth pointing out that men and women don't necessarily have the same metabolic issues. Hypothyroidism is far more prevalent in women than men and if it isn't working, then neither is a boatload of other key functions. Add in all the other hormonal issues and two refrigerators might make more sense than two bathroom sinks.
