I'm doing Keto, and eat lots of eggs, (nitrite free) bacon, almonds, leafy green veg and steak. I feel great so far, awesome energy levels and I've lost about 22lbs in 2 months (With a few 'off' days as well).

Just drink lots of water.

Apart from your 'off' days, do you measure your carb intake at all or stay completely away from bread/potatoes/rice etc?
Do you eat much fruit?

Ah, but how many people have died since then? Must be, oh, thousands of folk die each century, surely?

I don't really know, I've heard anecdotal evidence it's bad and there's natural bacon at my supermarket so I just buy that instead, it's not a big deal.

I stay totally away from bread/potatoes/rice, I used MyFitnessPal for a bit but now I think I have a good enough grip on it that I don't need to, and I don't get the urge to overeat anyway.

Regarding fruit, I don't eat as much as I should but it's totally possible, if you read up on Keto and actually filter out the "OMG I CAN EAT BACON 24/7" mentality. It actually encourages you to eat a wide range of foods.

The way I see it, it's got to be better than the st I was eating before to get like the fat bd I am currently, plus I can see myself doing this for life, I'm not seeing at as a diet, but a total lifestyle change. Which is going well.

It's annoying to see people going "ANY RECIPES FOR KETO BROWNIES?!", aaaaah.

Bacon and eggs?


Had three lovely duck eggs with three rashers of bacon, two tomatoes and a bit of cheese...loverly.

Yeah, bacon and eggs are a great breakfast food, goats cheese works well in an omelette as well.

Or try grilled or roasted Hallumi with red and green peppers cooked with tomatoes in a shallow pan with a few drops of olive oil, or with roasted mediterranean vegetables. Favourites back in the days when I could still eat food!
