My wife spends hours every day doing “research” and “learning a lot” on the internet. She is a musician and not very scientifically minded and, it seems to me, pretty easily convinced by the most recent theory she has investigated. I find it somewhat exasperating.
Anyway she became a convinced fan of a keto diet and insisted on trying it. I am retired and do the shopping and cookingasn’t going to make 2 different meals. We both lost weight, I lost 8kg, but I actually didn’t enjoy the diet enough to keep it up.
I cook smaller portions now and my weight is not too bad for my height so I have gone back to a more varied diet.
I am 68 and never expected to get this old, my Dad died at 53 and my grandfather at 63. OTOH my maternal grandmother was born in 1898 and died in 1999 having almost made it into her 3rd century. Her father was born in 1826 so he was 73 when she was born (!) and went on to have 4 more children he had 3 wives.
Maybe I have dominant genes from my maternal side. I hope so.
I have a mixed diet but mainly concentrate on eating food I enjoy...
