Of all the high octane desserts that still call to me after all these years, it’s cheesecake. I get angry when I see cheesecake, because once you understand exactly how loaded just one slice is with fat, sugar, and calories, there is no way to justify eating it.

There was a time when the low carb keto diet trend really took off and anyone trying to lose weight was terrified of potatoes.Starchy root vegetables were all suddenly evil, and they were replaced with eating bacon, butter, and pan-fried 80/20 hamburger patties without the fat drained off of them.
