I was disgusted with how heavy I've become so my wife and I decided Keto makes the most sense scientifically. I've read all of Gary Taubes books and done a it of research online. Amazing that the standard food pyramid was topsy turvy for so many decades. The noble goal of getting relatively inexpensive calories to the masses backfired long term. I would guess that politics and the big grain companies played a part in this. Obesity is rampant in the modern world. We were "designed" to eat fat and protein supplemented with nuts, berries(in season), and greens we could forage. Between the incredible availability of processed foods laden with sugar and carbs, and aggressive advertising we are all killing ourselves slowly.
We are both lucky that we love eggs, meat, cheese, olives,etc. We feel reinforced by the new scientific knowledge, because it tends to rob the bad stuff of it's attraction.
My pipe smoking is a calculated risk I'm willing to take, but eating unintelligently not so much.
