Same here. I got lucky and discovered the Keto diet pretty much right before it took off into being the latest fad. So I got the benefit of missing all the “lose 100lbs in 10 minutes” nonsense and the commodified aspect of everyone selling you something.
And it worked fantastically and lead to complete lifestyle changes that have persisted and made a healthier me.
I still recommend it to people but always give heavy caveats to stay away from the fad part and go with the basics.
Yeah. No need to pay money, buy special supplements, meal packs, keto snacks, etc. too many make a buck opportunists out there.
Those people make it more complicated than it has to be, and worst of all, they make it more difficult! Most of the keto snacks will actually take me out of ketosis!!!
My favorite are those $1/pouch electrolyte supplements. Totally unnecessary, pure marketing. (Don’t get me wrong, electrolytes are good, but you can buy 50/50 potassium/sodium mixes st something like $0.01 per dose… From any grocery store)
Anyone who tries to hook you into a subscription is pretty evil.
