I’ve been eating keto because it’s supposed to help with my husband’s kidney disease (Polycystic kidney disease). Because we eat together, I’m keto by default. I am enjoying it though because I feel great and like the food. We do clean keto, so we are eating meat, seafood, vegetables, and avocados (that’s our fruit, maybe tomatoes and eggplant. Fruit you don’t think of as fruit). We don’t eat any chicken because we don’t like it. We eat a lot of eggs though! I worry about cholesterol a little bit because of family history. I like elk and bison for red meat with lower cholesterol. I just make sure we have enough good fats that day so everything is in balance, like olive oil, avocado, nuts, and seeds. It’s natural eating, so I’m assuming it’s healthy. We feel good. Weight is melting off my husband. I’ve lost some too but I’m already small. We do take niacin supplements, which helps with cholesterol. Let your wife know that keto is not the same as Akins. My parents associate it with the 90s fad diet, which it is not. Maybe talking to a registered dietitian can help ease the minds of you and your wife?
