With no carbs it's simple: no carb foods = eat, carbs= don't eat.

Paul,
I do know what your saying. In the one sense i do agree that while following Bears advice of eating only the meat, eggs, cheese, cream it's EASY because i dont have to track everything in fitday or journal everything to make sure i am under those "20 carbs" whereas on induction for Atkins i do have to track everything! The reason i find it HARD is only because of acculturation and my mental state. I think too much of how i "miss" nuts, peanut butter, fruit, etc. And then when i am out in public it is doubly hard to follow. I find it HARD to say to a family member "i dont eat vegetables, only meat". Let's face it..ANYONE would think that is eXTREME! I am really torn as to whether i COULD do this type of diet long term! From what Bear said, in order to get keto adapted and STAY keto adapted the occasional "cheat" with a nut or fruit is not acceptable, it will take you out of keto adaption. So it seems like you have to follow this ALL THE WAY for it to work.
So who here is going to try to make this their lifestyle?
