> It is incredibly hard to beat a sugar addiction (a lot harder than nicotine or weed) but it is worth it, I promise. It's not trivial, I will certainly admit, but it is eminently doable with the right mindset and a reasonable plan. The hard part is that sugar and carb-laden foods are positively ubiquitous in the western diet, due to the fact that carbs are cheap to grow, process, ship, and store. Fat and protein are expensive and harder to find depending on where you live. But I look at it like this: by going out of my way to find and cook metabolically-optimal food for myself, I am investing in my future health in a way that will be _much_ cheaper than the cost of getting my foot removed in a few decades. If I could give any advice at all to someone considering a keto diet, it would be this: do some research, start with some kind of plan, and be forgiving of yourself. It will take some time to figure out which keto-friendly foods you have available to you, and which ones you will actually enjoy eating. If you fall off the wagon and murder a bag of chips in a moment of weakness, know that the whole effort isn't down the drain. You just try to do better tomorrow.
