[QUOTE="midlifealpha, post: 23642, member: 3266"] I eat Keto with the exception of having a Saturday cheat every often. Some refer to this as TKD or Targeted Ketogenic Diet. I was at 320 at one point and now sit on 240 at 6'1. The TKD was really made popular years ago by Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale. Here is his latest Bio I am not sure he's still a TKD guy or not: [URL]http://www.mauromd.com/dyn-company-1-About-Dr--Mauro.php[/URL] Lyle McDonald also talked it up a bit at one time but I really don't keep up with him. I think another one was Dan Duchaine. Recently Tim Ferris made it popular again with his "Slo-Carb" Diet. Tim Ferris has a 1 hour 30 minute interview with Dr. Peter Attia who formed the NUSI with Taubes. I don't really follow any play I just don't eat carbs as a rule except whatever Veggies come with Dinner or if I go out for lunch and a salad is part of the meal. Also I will sometimes have berries. Blackberries I love. Strawberries are only one net carb so eating a few of those never hurts. If my wife cuts up a peach I'll have a 1/4 sliver, but grapes and bananas are a no no. On a cheat day I will eat a damn bag of grapes the idea behind a cheat day is to trip up the body a bit, and you also get the benefit of storing up some glycogen in the muscle for the workouts that week. I don't push my way of eating on anyone I merely defend it. I am not sure for instance that all Type 2 Diabetics benefit. Ironically some do very well, but as you see with SoCalSurfer it didn't do much for him. Technically speaking Paleo is probably a better choice than low-carb however many Paleo advocates are also Keto Advocates they just want you to cut dairy and eat grass-fed animals and animal products (butter, eggs, etc.). I feel more alert, and in a much better mood when I am in Ketosis. I don't use Ketostix since my carb count is so low. I will reiterate this from Dr. Peter Attia and I don't remember what video from his site he mentioned this and no he didn't cuss.
