Sure it works, but it is completely unnecessary and depriving the body of some important nutrients. Why eliminate fiber (a carb) when you can still eat it and lose the weight? Makes no sense to me

Keto diet is eliminating net carbs. Which are all carbs except fiber. Though it is hard to get enough fiber without a supplement. It's not like low carb diets are a new thing. I think sugar busters has been around since the 80's. The hardest part for me was cutting out rice.

You don't have to go full paleo or keto nut. But cutting sugars out is a great place to start.

Meal prepping can help keep you on track as well, or at least semi-meal prepping.

You can make your "sides" for the week by doing what I posted earlier. Buy every fresh vegetable that you like along with a sweet potato or two and dice everything up into 1" chunks. Take a roasting pan and scatter everything about and pour a few tbsp. of olive oil over everything. Roast for about 30-45 mins in the oven and you have your side dish knocked out for the rest of the week. All you have to do is get home and grill a steak, chicken breast, salmon steak, sauté shrimp, burger patty, etc. 15 mins and dinner is done and only one dirty dish.

Here's an example of a lazy cook night for me last night. I didn't have anything prepped but threw this together based off of what I had on hand.
-2 lbs of pork ground meat
-1 yellow onion
-1 bell pepper
-garlic
-1 pack of frozen steampack of broc with herbs
-1 pack of frozen steampack of corn with peppers

Sautéed the onions, bell and garlic for a few mins in olive oil. Then pork in the skillet and put the steampacks in microwave. After the pork was pretty close to done, I mixed in the steampacks with everything and voila. Wasn't the best but wasn't the worst and it took no effort and less than 20 mins. Keep healthy stuff handy and you can do creative stuff all the time instead of McDonalds.

Just don't sugar in the rub or sauce.

You do realize ground turkey does not have less calories or fat than ground beef right? I eat it because it is half the price but most people assume it is healthier.

I eat 85/15 ground beef about 50% of the time. Ground deer and pork mix the other 50%. I havent eaten ground turkey in years.

Correct. It does not have the inflammatory properties of red meat though

This is good to know. I was unaware of this aspect. People I know who did the zero carb diets refused to even consume fiber, so they were on the extreme side then

It also doesn't have the tasting good properties of red meat too

Why add beef flavoring when you can just use beef? It's fine in moderation. Just eat chicken or fish mainly then beef like once a week.
