UncaToddly you are definitely wordy and that's okay because you gave a lot of really good information. My DH went keto 20 months ago for health reasons. His Dr. was not fully on board and monitored his progress very carefully for the first year. DH is type 2 diabetic and his diabetes is now diet controlled. He no longer takes Metformin or Januvia. He has lost 45 pounds and kept them off for a year. His Dr. is amazed at how his body and metabolism has changed.
DH also bakes for himself and makes his own greek style yoghurt using Half and Half (and it is wonderful!!) I refused to 'control' his diet and left the research/decisions to him. I think this was the most important contribution I made to his success.
Edited to add: "Lies my Doctor Told Me" by Ken D. Berry MD is a great book that everyone should read. Just because my doctor said it does not mean that it is right, or true or the best thing for me. Knowledge is the best medicine.
