The human has evolved to use either sugar or fat for energy. It all gets converted to sugar when used though. But the fat is much easier to store.

But if you go keto then your body uses fat as it's energy from food, not carbs or complex sugars. Basically you limit carbs to a 10th of normal to kick start it. Around 30 grams a day! Very hard to do. I stayed low for about three weeks. Lost 10 lbs a week. Now I'm around 100-130 gr carbs a day.

But you will find that you can eat all the fatty protein you want, fiber is good too as it will off set carb grams 1:1 but takes a while and the carbs will hit first.

Salt will not be an issue.

Make your pie crust with almond flour and you have a fabulous keto pie!!! I'm gonna try it.

Pumpkin Pie. It fits into my low carb diet. Nearly a meal in itself when topped with whipped cream.

1 pie crust.
1 can 15 oz 100% pumpkin
3 L eggs
1/3 cup coconut flour
1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 can evaporated milk
1/4 cup Stevia artificial sweetener
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Coat pie pan generously with butter. Lay in pie crust. Dust with more cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger

Cook 450F for 15 minutes and then 350F for 50 minutes. Your oven may vary.

This is a modified WalMart pumpkin pie recipe. I've added blueberries before. That was interesting. I also add a couple table spoons of Fireball Tequila, got to use it up somehow and the fireball is like hot cinnamon, seems to settle in the crust.

WooHoo Illinois is the #1 pumpkin grower!

alltatup you murderer! How many extinct animals had to die for your personal vanity? Have any koala skin hats? Bat wing leather motorcycle jackets? Polar bear foot snowshoes?
Wait! You're going to sell them for another's personal vanity. Quit advertising your murdered extinct animals on GWE! Check out Etsy on the dark web. They don't care what dies.
And stay away from my fossil collection. They died of natural causes.

Fossils!!! I made these trilobite earrings as a daring fashion statement that proclaims how beautiful 600 million year old things really are.

That's the life!!! I love the image, someone all sweaty n happy pushing a lawnmower with red juice and seeds all over their chin as a perfect home grown tomato gets eaten.
