Karl's Keto Adventure

Anyone else a bit scared?? It seems likely that our lives will never be the same again. When we look back, there are lots of events in history that have shaped our futures for centuries to come. Inventions that have changed the very fabric of society. Historic events that still influence our lives today. Sometimes it was key inventions like the wheel, the aeroplane or the computer. Other times it was longer events like the industrial revolution, the world wars or more topically, the covid pandemic. One things for certain, some things leave our lives, and our planet, changed forever. Even long after they have gone. I often wonder if the people living through those moments in history really recognised their significance. Did the Wright brothers have even the smallest inkling that their work would lead to machines that carried millions of people worldwide? That their invention would change the shape of wars? That their creation would revolutionise world trade, allowing ordinary people to ...

Change the way you think before you change the way you eat. I was going to talk about how challenging this year has been so far. Trapped indoors with snow. Missing birthday celebrations with both friends and family (seems everyone we know is born in the first six weeks of the year). No meals and drinks out. No regular half-term city break.

The scales haven't moved much and the beginning of the year (that I'm stil...

It Makes Me Mad!!! I'm going to start with a rant. Only a small(ish) one. I know I bang on a bit, but this won't take long. The internet is a very powerful tool. It allows the exchange of ideas, communities to form, individuals to help one another. Unfortunately there are a few who seek to run things 'their way', which inevitably leads to misinformation and helps nobody. My commitment on this blog (and all my social media for that matter) is to only offer factual and well researched information that allows informed decisions to be made by anyone who reads on. I won't railroad, judge, preach or offer false information. But I will challenge if the facts are wrong. Not my opinion, but the facts. How Today's Blog Began.... Having been keto for a long while now, I've been lucky enough to be part of a number of 'communities' of people with like minds. Facebook groups, Instagram feeds, that sort of stuff. Having been out for a walk this morning, I was scann...
