@Cath62 My daughter loves the keto diet and it works wonders for her. I tried it and gained weight. It isn't for everyone but for some it is a life changer. My other daughter doesn't lose weight on it but has a lot less medical issues (It reduces her inflamation plus she does not have any colds) when she follows the keto. Most Drs refuse to endorse any eating pattern unless the medical association recommends it. I love the liver cleansing diet with Sandra Cabot, but most doctors say the food on it is good but it doesn't really do anything. I am so healthy when I follow it diligently. Each person needs to try different eating patterns until they find what works for them. Good on you.
