A lot of the ketogenic diets out there are artificial ones and they impose an artificial condition, which is high animal fat and high animal protein butter and bacon.

Given a strong hub, a strong purpose, a person can take a surprising number of shocks and bumps on the outside rim without sustaining permanent damage. — Oveta Culp Hobby
