The Magic Pill

The Magic Pill is a documentary directed by Robert Tate and Produced by Robert Tate and Pete Evans.  This film does the best job of explaining why a low carb diet is so important for many people's health. The film is available on Netflix, or can be purchased or rented on Amazon.

The film describes how diet can help improve the Aboriginal people in Australia.  It also shows how diet can impact a boy with autism. It also mentions obesity, diabetes and autism.  It isn't strictly speaking a "keto" movie, but it describes how a low carb diet and intermittent fasting can dramatically improve your life.  Of course it is describing a low-carb high-fat diet.  And many keto people are in the movie including Dr. Jason Fung, Nina Teicholz and Nora Gedgaudas.

Below is the film trailer:


If you haven't watched this yet, I'd strongly encourage you to.

My next post will cover some keto goodness, or you can read my last post which covered the results of cruising while keto.

Ketoversary

Image
I've been following a ketogenic diet since November 1, 2016.  I’ve decided to celebrate my 1 year ketoversary by starting a blog to share my journey toward health.  My name is John and I’m a 40 something male who has struggled with weight my entire life. In this blog I plan to discuss how reversed my type 2 diabetes, stopped taking 120 units of insulin daily, lowered HbA1c down from a high of 10.7 down to 5.0, reduced my waist by over 12 inches and lost over 120 pounds. Lots of people have helped me on my journey and I hope to pay it forward by helping other people struggling with some of the same issues that I do.  In the end maybe we can all help make the world a healthier place. This process has truly changed my life. Maybe it can change yours. Keep Calm and Keto On! In my next post I'll start describing a little bit of my background before I started with keto.

Why Exercise?

Many people think the reason to exercise is to burn off that apple pie you had at dinner (not that ketonians would be eating apple pie).  But there are really much better reasons to exercise.  Let’s say an average slice of apple pie is 300 calories.  An average 180-pound man would need spend about an hour to walk about 3 miles to burn off that pie.  While you can burn off that apple pie, it isn’t possible to exercise your way out of a bad diet. So why does everyone say exercise is so important?  Well there are lots of very good reasons to exercise.  First exercise increases your metabolism.  That means that not only do you burn calories while you are on your walk, you will also burn more calories when sitting on the couch watching television than if you hadn’t exercised.  An increased metabolism will also make you feel like you have more energy, which may make you feel like moving more.  Which, in turn, will increase your metabolism even more.  If you move constantly, your body will

Devouring Information

Image
With the success I was seeing I became ravenous for information about keto.  So in March 2017 I decided to go back to my preferred information gathering medium, podcasts.  I wanted to add to the excellent “ 2 Keto Dudes ” podcast I was already listening to.  I started with “ Keto Talk ” [1] by Jimmy Moore and Dr. Adam Nally and the “ Ketovangelist ” podcast by Brian Williamson.  I quickly added “ Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb ” by Jimmy Moore, and “ Fasting Talk ” [2] by Jimmy Moore, Dr. Jason Fung and Megan Ramos. [1] Dr. Adam Nally has left the “Keto Talk” podcast and been replaced by Dr. Will Cole.  Dr. Cole is a good addition. [2] The “ Fasting Talk ” podcast has been discontinued.  However, the Dr. Fung and Megan Ramos have started “ The Obesity Code ” podcast instead. The “ 2 Keto Dudes ” podcast gives a good practical advice of how to live the ketogenic lifestyle as well as delves into the science to help explain how and why keto works.  The hosts, Carl and Richard, often have
