Hi all!
My name is Percy, have officially been on keto since the beginning of the year. I actually started a somewhat keto diet about a year earlier without knowing about keto. Wanted to lose weight and improve my health. I had psoriasis and my doctor told me to stop all processed foods and sugar. I followed his advice, the psoriasis cleared up and I lost 60lbs at the same time. Took about 8 months. Now I'm at the gym 4 times a week and loving my keto diet. Btw, I'm 66 yrs of age.

Thank you for the kind words. I had a physical back in March and was a little concerned what my doctor would say when I told him I was on a keto diet. His response was a surprise. He said "That's good. So am I." I told him one of the reasons I chose a keto diet is a concern I have with Alzheimer's and how keto might be beneficial. He said that there certainly is evidence to support that. His remarks were very encouraging. All my numbers from the physical were good, a definite improvement from two years earlier.
