Yeah,flexibility really comes back. Part of it may be increased activity because of weight loss. Excercise is easier. And less joint strain from all that mass,too. A year ago I noticed it was hard to squat and especially get back up. This summer all that trouble was gone, I am riding fast sportsbikes @ 62 years. I have lost almost 30 kg in a year , I fit in my 90's leathers -and I'm staying here without dietary worries, all this is automatic by now. I'm not full carni though, 10 g carbs max per day keeps my keto going good.

Here in Finland we have a company that makes good keto ice cream. 2,9g carbs, 20 g fat. Erythritol does not bother me. I had some canned herring last month, a few herring lunches with eggs. Hot days in the garden,nice. But I noticed my BP got much higher for two weeks, only then I realised that there is lots of sugar hidden in all canned herring! My one and only sugar accident this year. Blood ketones dropped for a while too. I can not have any sugar,bread etc. I start slipping little by little, a croissant next week, then chocolate, french fries the following week... sugar is a drug for me. I don't drink alcohol either because I get nothing out of a glass of wine or one beer. A case of beer is much better, or three bottles of red wine for cooking and dinner...

I met a cardiologist the other day. Ultrasonic inspection. He was nice and polite -but everything was about cholesterol and cholesterol medication. Diet was never mentioned, he did not comment my weight loss in any way either. 67 lbs gone in eight months. Cholesterol number is the Gospel. I did not comment much at all. Good new is that my heart has not gotten any worse.

My gout got quite serious when I was eating everything. I got on Allopurinol and it eventually helped. Summer -23 I could hardly ride motorcycles or walk, all summer. Gout hit my achilles tendons,too. Talk about pain. Me being on blood thinners, can not use ibuprofen or other painkillers. Ouch. But: The real help was quitting sugars/ other carbs almost completely. I get max 10 g carbs a day, zero sugar, and have been gout free all this year. I have also cut down Allopurinol from two 300 mg pills to 1/8 of a pill. I'll be completely off Allo next month. I ride motorbikes almost every day and need my big toes! So it was carbs that triggered gout in my case. Not fat or "little fish" or whatsoever chicken skin. Just carbs. My diet is high fat low carb.

This has become my gold standard breakfast. No boredom in sight! My monthly measuring day showed good blood sugar (4,7) and blood ketones (2,6) plus a couple of cm thinner waist again and a couple of kilos body fat lost. I have dropped 27 kilos since November 110 kg. Feeling great. @ 23 BMI.

Italian zero-carb, high fat spicy "Toscana" sausages. I guess I'm more "dirty keto" because of all the sausages I eat. But I could not keep my fat intake high enough by eating our very lean finnish meats. It leads to protein overdose and low fat. Or ground beef and bacon only. My breakfast is bacon and eggs, almost every day. Still tastes delicious. Salsicha pepperoncini, sauerkraut:

Herring for lunch. A good fatty fish. My coffee is "Bulletproof",too. Me being a "High Fat Low Carb Ketovore", I take fat add-ons like coconut oil quite often. My fat intake energy % is above 75. Carbs max 10 g. At least 25 kg (50 lbs) body fat has gone since October. Blood ketones 1,5-2,5, feeling great. My arteries must be healing themselves, I have a stent, my strength and overall condition have not been this good in eight years on statins. Which I quit last Christmas.

Not three pounds of beef here.... But a little beef-chilli-coconut stew. Lots of bacon fat and coconut oil. I eat some (msx 10g) carbs so there was a little bit of cabbage,onion and celery,too. Butter at every turn of course -and the stew was made in beef broth.

I got a bit bored with all that water,too. So I tried this non-sugar add-water juice a few months ago and I've been drinking it without problems ever since. It has sucralose and Acesulfame K... I know artificial, possibly bad stuff. But I blend it pretty mild, got no sweet cravings and my body fat is disappearing very well. Looks like these particular sweeteners are doing no harm for my keto. I also drink water and a couple of mugs of Bulletproof coffee every day. This is in Finland, I bet there are similar products everywhere. I have said "no" to all sweeteners since 2000, until now.

Weisswurst and sauerkraut.

This is good: Mix approx. equal amounts of cottage cheese and eggs (I put 300 g cheese and three eggs) , spread on paper and bake in medium oven for 15-20 minutes. Cut in slices. This stays good in the fridge for a long time,good with Bulletproof coffee. Just spread on some butter and whatever you fancy. Can be used as wraps for Tortillas,too.

Haha! It's not carb though,it's FI. I've had the speedo needle at 340 km/h, probably closer to 310 km/h in reality. A 2000 Kawasaki ZX -12R. Akrapovic full exhaust, 190 RWHP. Old & fast. I also have a 2001 version in green.
