Nope, just me. As someone who also struggles to lose weight I am tired of hearing about Keto and Paleo. I would be thrilled to be down 55 lbs. Sorry if it sounded insincere.

I'm curious why that is? While I'm not doing keto right now, it has had some really good effects when I did it.

Wife's also doing it for over 2 years now and reversed her pre-diabetic diagnosis and also lost close to 40kgs since she started it.

Is it just too preachy and is causing people to be tired from hearing about it?

Wow, 40kbs is fantastic progress! Congrats to your wife. I've lost around 15 lbs by run/walking on the treadmill every day. I started at around 20 minutes/day, now I'm up 30-45 minutes per day 5x/week and just watching my calories, especially the sugar intake.

Haha, yeah I think it's the "fanbase" around it (don't want to offend anyone). It's like that old joke, how do you know someone is (a vegan, doing keto, plays guitar)? They'll tell you. There almost seems to be people who want to turn these diets into a competition, oh you're keto? Well, let me tell you how crazy keto I am. Like dude, I'm just trying to not hate myself when I look in the mirror not win the Mr Keto award.
