keto works like a charm, only thing that's ever worked for me... Fatty foods really aren't that bad -- good fats anyways. Marbling on brisket is def. the good kind ;). Probably less so on bacon, because of nitrates, and probably better to get more protein from lean meats but if you need a pound or two of brisket a week to stay on keto that's perfectly acceptable ;). When your carb deprived you don't crave sugar, bread, etc. THESE are what really put fat on, also things like candy, soda, hostess cakes, etc.. all of which are the kinda fatty things I crave and keep me obese. Though I've organically lost 50 pounds since May, just by trying a new depression med - Wellbutrin, which makes sense since it's used for smoking cessation, and increases dopamine levels which is basically why I probably ate foods like that in the first place (to feel good). If I add some exercise, and better diet I'd probably lose a lot more. I haven't even cut soda, I just don't desire sweets or food at all--which I didn't think was possible except when I'm in ketosis, but apparently the mind/body link is bigger than I thought. Never realized how much my depression controlled me.
