41. I believe a keto diet is a very effective way to lose weight fast.

I know. Many years ago I was on it once for about 6 months, when it was simply called a low carb diet, and lost most of my body fat and dropped over 30 lbs. But I don’t believe it’s a healthy diet to remain on once the weight is lost. I’ve been a vegetarian since then, mostly vegan in the past 10 years and have kept most of that weight off over all the subsequent years. I read the study and think it’s too preliminary to make any assumptions about a keto diet curing schizophrenia. That’s ridiculous.
