I failed at the ketogenic diet. Not because I don't know what I'm doing or any ignorance of the biochemistry of food and how our bodies use it to sustain us. My problem is one of variety.
The problem is the idiots who are responsible for producing food and distributing it to grocery stores are stocking the shelves with insulinogenic fat producing poisons in the form of carbohydrates. Go into any grocery store in the United States and more than likely ninety to ninety-five percent is carbohydrate and sugar laden edibles that are the death of me. Potato chips, cookies, low-fat breads are some examples.
To find any fatty foods you are basically limited to fatty beef or chicken or pork, processed meats, oils, almond butters, skinless boneless sardines in extra virgin olive oil. I'm severely intolerant of dairy products so cheese, butter, and cottage cheese are off limits to me.
To further complicate things, I'm out on the road a lot because of my work so I'm limited to what's available in fast food restaurants and pre-cooked food at convenience stores and grocery markets. Most of what's available there is carbohydrate laden meals with lean meats--basically nothing to promote ketosis.
There's a simple solution to the lack of fat in the food supply: put it back. Instead of stripping the fat off the animal proteins, why not leave it on? Instead of stocking the aisles of the local food market with row upon row of potato chips and cookies and breads and snacks made from wheat, why not supply the shelves with ultra low carb foods?
The answer to these questions is obvious to me: there's no profit in making fatty foods without carbohydrates.
When I stopped eating corn and wheat products for six months, I was stronger and leaner. My acne went away. I was sleeping five or six hours a day, and I was focused when I was awake.
Without eating carbs, I got rid of several industries. The first is wheat and corn producers. The second is the dermatology pharmaceutical manufacturers. Although I can't prove it, I think there is a direct cause and effect link between carbohydrate ingestion and acne. The third is the weight loss snake oil salesmen. I lost forty pounds by eating fatty animal proteins and spinach salads. I was rarely hungry after eating this. Lastly is the government. If you were were trying to put one over on a populace, would you want them alert and asking questions about why things are the way they are or would you want them lethargic and weak and sick? What does that have to do with money?
Don't you think there are trillions of dollars at stake in maintaining the status quo? If people started sleeping five hours a night and maintained concentration on issues confronting them, they would start asking questions about why tax payer dollars are being allocated the way they are. They would start pressuring their elected officials. They would start demanding change.
In conclusion, my failure at the ketogenic diet is built into the system. Big Brother wants me to eat carbs. If you don't believe me, then why is this crap being taught in schools:
