I just joined this group but I've been on DS for many years.

I haven't set out do do a keto diet purposely but used to test for being in a state of ketosis when I saw my integrative MD. I remember her telling me I could maintain without starving myself. Loved her and wish she didn't retire. I try not to eat a lot of carbs so I guess it was relatively easy for me. I know I felt loads more energetic and healthier when I stopped a lot of the carbs, especially breads.

Good for you Tropicaloo. That way of eating seems to be working for you. I love my carbs, so my way of eating has to be moderation and portion control.

Keep up the great work!

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
