I never Heard of Amber until yesterday. The only pretty actress I've seen in my lifetime but I found all the beauties at the supermarket.
All because somebuddy’s got a problem with the sugh. It was hard giving away that Easter basket this year 😥

I truly did feel terrific, but you even have to watch things like fruit consumption, and that's where it just got me. Especially in summer, I try to let my carbs be "good carbs" like fruit instead of empty carbs. And although I can deal with low-carb bread, keto breads are just yucky. The one brand I found that didn't have a nasty taste to it was $9 for what was essentially half the size of a normal loaf of bread.
"Regular" low-carb eating is just fine with me. I've been a diabetic for 12 years now and still am not anywhere near needing insulin, so my goal is to just maintain that level. Totally do-able on low-carb foods.

I feel good but my workout numbers have plunged off a cliff, which seems to be line with a lot that I’ve read.
The only ones I can tolerate are blue mud daubers because they typically don't bother humans, and they kill black widows.

My perspective was from how it’s applied to people doing keto. You can only have X carbs and you can use fiber to reduce that number, as opposed to not eating them in the first place.

But I get your point. I tried keto for a while (for the diabetic thing). I felt great, my blood sugar numbers dropped to normal, and I lost weight and wasn't bloated. Slept like a log.
Then one day I just realized there was no way I could do this the rest of my life. I think I just have a love/hate relationship with simple carbs now. It's a shame because it really was solving multiple health concerns at once.
I really felt what you said there.
