What is the keto diet?

What is the keto diet? I am on a keto diet. Mine is a bit unusual as I’m allergic to pretty much all nuts. I aim for 20 to 30 grams of net carbs a day. Breakfast is usually tea with heavy cream. Lunch has many options; I like making roll-ups with deli meat & cheese wrapped in lettuce. Dinner consists of meat and veggies. If I make cheese fondue I eat mine with broccoli instead of bread. Likewise, using low carb veggies instead of pasta opens up worlds of options. Dessert is usually strawberries. Measure portion size by weight. Snacks are cheese, hard boiled eggs, cured dry meats, etc. I find myself much happier, and much healthier, while on diet. I lost over 50 pounds. My blood pressure dropped back to healthy levels, my gout vanished, and my blood sugar is just dandy again, thanks for asking. For me it’s not a diet anymore. It’s a lifestyle. Want to try keto diet?
