33. Thanks!

Yeah, added a few notes after posting above. Apart from liver issues, I just don't think I'm capable of pure keto from a willpower perspective. Honestly I really have not 'denied' myself all that much in my 55 years of life, and that applies to pretty much all things you might think of.

So, I've cut my daily avg carb intake by at least 80% ... my morning fruit smoothie is the major offender of each day ... has 2 tbsp pomegranate juice, 1/3 ripe banana, 5 strawberries & 15 blueberries ... but I also add nonfat unsweetened Greek yogurt, egg whites, green powder, hemp hearts, and ground flaxseed. IOW, it's carby, but it's filling and overall healthy.

The huge carb cut, plus improved quality of everything else I eat (I've not eaten out in a month, used to do fast food 3-5 meals a week), and am exercising daily, is hopefully going to do quite a bit of good, w/o having to go to the (what I'd call pretty extreme by my standards) full keto route

Last nights Fajita Chix Salad ... cheating by keto standards with corn, tomato, red bell pepper ... but still pretty healthy!
