Sabine at the fabulous blog, http://www.confabulous.ca (check it out – it is my new obsession!) has started up a discussion on the future of the women's movement, that I think everyone should check out!
I think this is a difficult discussion that we need to have and which I've been having offline with a number of feminist friends across Canada over the last month. How can we mobilize feminists across Canada to collaborate, and how can we do so without marginalizing or oppressing groups or individuals? This is a question that my generation needs to tackle and which I think we have often tried to do so.
In response to Sabine's request for her readers' dreams for the women's movement, I added the comment below? Go check out Sabine's blog and join in the conversation by adding your own dream!
I would like a stronger women's movement and a more connected women's movement. With Web 2.0 technologies, we should be able to create something where women from across Canada and women within our provinces and cities can connect, share, help each other, and collaborate. What are each of our organization's goals and how can we help each other reach them – how can we include other organizations within the very structure of our events, instead of just having an 'information table' for other organizations to promote their events and causes. How can we interest those who might not be already within the struggle to join us? How do we market feminism?
I've worked with a number of different organizations and I find that what they all could improve on is working with each other. There is a real need for some sort of collaboration and easy communication between organizations as I think the organizations' goals are often quite similar. How can we work together and support each other and plan together?
We talk so much about organizational strategic plans these days but I think we need a strategic plan that works across organizations and that unites organizations. We also need to be able to know who is out there and who is working on what issues and how to contact them.
How can we figure out what we all want and what we would like to see and how we can ensure that we do not oppress or marginalize certain groups in our movement? There has been talk that there is no one women's movement anymore, but that their are various separate movements (and that that is important because it allows certain groups to prioritize their issues) but how can we work together and support each other if that is the case?
And then comes the question of how can we fund feminist work and support feminist work and get people interested in feminist work? And how can we have our work listened to by the media and by politicians? What was it about the National Action Committee that previously gave it such prominence and why has that prominence faded?
And how can we acknowledge different political positions within the feminist movement without alienating people from the movement? How can we keep it from becoming a question of who is feminist enough?
These are all questions that I think we need to think about and talk about. I would LOVE to have a monthly or bimonthly 'Future of (Canadian) Feminism' Blogging carnival! I am a little busy at the moment finishing my thesis but I volunteer to create one for July when I will be done… unless someone wants to take my idea and start it before then… in which case, Antigone will host the second one!
This to me is an absolutely crucial discussion to have – what is our future, where do we go from here, how can we continue getting stronger? But we also need to figure out how we can guard against the discriminatory and marginalizing tendencies of past organizations. We must do better than we have before.

As you progress through the game and win events, you'll earn points. Earning points lets you unlock more trucks. You'll also be able to purchase upgrades for your vehicle.
If you're having trouble getting enough points to unlock all of the trucks, try focusing on the Arena Championship due to the high payout from its events.
There are many different trucks you can use. Try finding a favorite truck that you want to focus on and then work toward upgrading it by buying new upgrades with currency you earn. Upgrading your truck will help you win more events to get more points, letting you unlock even more things from there. Once you have a fully upgraded truck, you can win some races and events quite quickly.
There are 50 collectibles for you to find. To get all of them, you will need to have completed the campaign so you have access to all the areas, and you'll also need a fully upgraded truck to reach them all. They appear as yellow and white triangles. Drive through a collectible to collect it.
Collectibles are also displayed on the map, which you can see if you zoom in. Found collectibles will remain, but will become see-through instead of solid.
If you're having trouble finding any of the collectibles, use the video guide below for help.
In the Dunes area, you can find a building with a UFO inside. If you approach it with the Alien Invasion vehicle, the alien ship will light up at your approach and begin spinning, although there is nothing else you can do with it.
It is possible to exploit a glitch to end up out of the map, which allows you to drive through water, among other things.
An easy place to do this is at the road near Vermilion Lake, as shown in the video included below. There are some trees near the edge of the water, where you'll begin to get out of bounds warnings. If you release the gas and let yourself coast toward the far side of the tree on the left, you'll get shot out of bounds. At this point, you'll have the freedom to explore outside of the map.

Bret and Bart Maverick (and in later seasons, their English cousin, Beau) are well dressed gamblers who migrate from town to town always looking for a good game. Poker (5 card draw) is their favorite but they've been known to play such odd card games as Three-toed Sloth on occasion. The show would occasionally feature both or all three Mavericks, but usually would rotate the central character from week to week.

Changing into his gambler's duds for a poker game including the company town's silver baron Phineas King, Bret (James Garner) wins - and only Bret hints that King is a card cheat. King's casino manager, Big Mike McComb has Bret beaten, but won't have him killed. Big Mike (screenwriter/ex-con Leo Gordon) becomes a memorable recurring character in the series. After King still takes a crack at having Bret iced, Bret runs an ad in King's paper: "King did NOT try to kill me - today. See this space tomorrow !" Directed by one of the best Western specialists, Budd Boetticher.

This episode is one of the those you can skip. The mostly inane plot involves Bart Maverick encountering a blonde beauty Linda (Joanna Cook Moore) who manages to entice Bart (using his typical bad judgment regarding women) into a clandestine affair. Meanwhile the stableman's young daughter Cathy (Carole Welles) is enamored by Bart (and his mare) and follows him to his daily countryside tryst with Linda. Cathy shows Bart that Linda is the wife of the soon to be Colorado Governor, and he also learns that she's being pursued by another suitor. Linda murders the suitor and frames Bart. Of course he outwits the forces of evil and give the mare to Cathy. Silly story poorly done.

10Easy Mark
15 Nov 1959Description ▼
Bart discovers Cornelius Van Rennsellaer in the desert, a young man who appears to have an inordinate interest in a rare species of cactus. He's actually a railroad man, he says - his father runs the railroad - and he wants to take the cactus back to St. Louis for breeding.Corny learned poker at Harvard, and the education was expensive, but he appears to have learned poker well. He wins not only Bart's $300 stake, but his $1000 hideout money as well. That's all right. Corny offers him double the $1300 to impersonate him on the trip to St. Louis, so that he isn't bothered on the ride.That deal is too good to be true, of course, which is the gist of the story. It's fairly formulaic humor, but fun none the less. Corny has to be in St. Louis in the morning to vote his shares - and another investor wanting to take control of the railroad has sent representatives to ensure that he's delayed so his shares can't be voted,As a side plot, Edgar Buchanan plays an endearing old card sharp who tries to deal seconds, but doesn't do it too well. Bart realizes it, but willingly loses heavily, to avoid hurting the man's feelings - the checks he writes as Corny will never be honored by the bank because the handwriting will be wrong, so there's no harm, no foul.As always, this episode features a couple of fetching young actresses. Pippa Scott plays the sweet and innocent one, a niece of Buchanan's, who is too "ethical" to make a play for the railroad heir - so to no viewer's surprise, she decides she really likes that fellow in the baggage car who is fond of cactus. Nita Talbot, five years older, is the sophisticated and dangerous woman, a role she had already been playing for a decade, and would continue to play well into the 1990s. Although Pippa Scott stopped acting in 1984, she once again appeared before the camera 25 years later in the movie "Footprints"

6Poker Face
07 Jan 1962Description ▼
These Maverick episodes certainly got worse as the series neared its end. This one is really one of the worst and most boring of the series that I have seen. Typical no action humdrum plot of Bart (Jack Kelly) and others on stagecoach being captured by Mexican outlaws and held for ransom. There is the typical attempt to save Bart by a doctor, Dr. Robespierre Jones (Richard Hale) who is a preacher, not a medical doctor who tries to save Bart's inner spirit since he knows it is bad. The subplot involves one of the captives (Nancy Hsueh) being romanced by one of the captors. She is already promised to another man of her ethnic group (arranged marriage) whom she has not seen since she was a child. She is 20 something in this show. This subplot ends with predictable results. (There are twists but they are not worth typing up or watching.) Results of the kidnapping and the romance are predictable by a six year old. Nothing memorable about this one. Do not waste your 47-48 minutes on this dog.

Luckily, Bart's pal Doc Holiday is in town for a dentists' convention, and owes Bart $2000. When Doc brags "I have enough collateral to raise the dead !" Bart feels no compunction in selling ½ the headache to Doc. The senator and his sinister political boss are Ivy Leaguers, so the suave Philadelphia dentist/hired gun will come in handy.
10Marshal Maverick
11 Mar 1962Description ▼
Abilene's marshal is bumped off, Bart kills the murderer, but instead of thanks, he's threatened with jail for vagrancy unless he becomes marshal. At least it's only a temp job, because Wyatt Earp's en route to undertake the assignment. In the meantime Bart proposes a truce with the killer's gang, so he'll survive until Earp shows. Gambler Bart reasons "if we don't protect the lambs, who'll fleece the sheep ?" When Earp sashays in, he forces Bart to stay on as deputy. Is the legendary lawman losing his nerve or what ?

In the meantime, Pearly has gambled away his supposed share of the reward with a promise to pay from his share of the reward.

Money or Mayhem for Linux Portals
Corporate sponsorship of news sites can be a great thing. Without Andover.Net supporting Slashdot, Microsoft would have been able to intimidate the site into removing some contentious postings they objected to. Instead, Slashdot has the funds to consult with lawyers and to fight back.
|Page 1 of 1
Without much fanfare, Red Hat Software (RHAT) this week announced that it was laying off employees at their open source news portal. Wide Open News was Red Hat's effort to meet their original pre-IPO goal to "create the definitive online destination for the open source community". Now, the portal is being reorganized to repackage content from its editorial partnerships. There will no longer be any original content created at Wide Open. Is there something deeper at work here, or is this simply a case of business running on Internet time?
Interestingly, Red Hat was one of the bidders for the Linux.com domain. Of course, VA Linux beat them and several others (including Microsoft) with a winning bid, and when the Andover.Net acquisition goes through, VA Linux will also own Slashdot.org and Freshmeat.net. VA also puts up the bandwidth, hardware and development costs for Sourceforge.net.
In the battle for the open source portals VA Linux seems to be pulling out ahead. The other competitors for open source aficionados' eyeballs are Linux Today and Linux Weekly News. Linux Today was acquired by Internet.com and Linux Weekly News was recently sold to Tucows.com. With LWN finally finding the right partnership, the Linux community has "lost" one of the remaining financially independent news portals. All the major sites have sold out to larger corporate entities.
Another lesser-known fact is that some of the people who got laid off at Linuxcare were some of its web content staff. Like practically every other Linux company, Linuxcare had put forth a portal-like interface to their Web site. However, with their botched IPO, they couldn't justify all of the costs associated with the effort. With their editorial layoffs, it will probably mean a reduction in original content from Linuxcare as well.
So where is all the original content coming from? Slashdot, Linux Today, and to a lesser extent Linux Weekly News, simply repackage or link to original content. They provide their value by aggregating news in one place and by allowing their users to post comments on the subjects. Linux.com is one of the few remaining Linux "portals" which provides original content on a daily basis.
Is this a bad thing? No, with a couple of reservations. The Linux community is held together by e-mail, IRC, and public news and message boards such as Slashdot and Linux.com. All of us must keep a close eye on anyone who establishes an information monopoly within the Linux community. It is important not to focus so much on the right to copy source code, that freedom of speech is abridged. The reduction of original content and the increase of corporate sponsorship places those of us producing original content in a unique situation.
Corporate sponsorship of news sites can be a great thing. Without Andover.Net supporting Slashdot, Microsoft would have been able to intimidate the site into removing some contentious postings they objected to. Instead, Slashdot has the funds to consult with lawyers and to fight back. As long as the community is wary, and insists that the news they read comes from a site that is editorially independent, there should be no problems.
I would be much more concerned if there weren't already sites like Kuro5hin.org and Advogato.org continually pushing some of the older sites to keep on their toes. If the larger sites ever do violate the trust of the community, these are going to be the places everyone migrates to.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- A commander of an al Qaeda-linked terror group was killed in Pakistan by a suspected U.S. drone strike, Pakistani military officials said Friday.
Uzbek commander Tahir Yuldashev was injured August 27 and died a month later from his injuries, according to the officials.
Yuldashev was the head of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan and had joined forces with the former head of the Pakistani Taliban Baitullah Mehsud, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in early August, Pakistani officials said.
The officials asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak to the media. They said Pakistani Taliban commander Qari Noor-ul-Islam was also injured in the same August drone strike, but is still alive.
The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan is an affiliate of al Qaeda, counterterrorism officials have said.
An analyst said Yuldashev's death is a blow the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan and al Qaeda.
"Al Qaeda has lost one of its strategic allies," said Muhammad Amir Rana, the head of Pakistan Institute for Peace Studies, an Islamabad based think-tank that monitors militant activity.
Yuldashev's fighters shared training facilities with al Qaeda in Pakistan's tribal region, Rana said.
-- CNN's Reza Seyah and journalist Nasir Habib contributed to this report.

I sit throughout from her wondering what is in her head. I just wish she would give me a sign as to whether she likes me or not. She gradually moves her hand to her hair and brushes it from the front of her shoulder. Is that an indicator of curiosity; if so why is she facing her physique absent from me? I have to confess I get so puzzled even now trying to figure out women. A man's mind is just not equipped to comprehend all the nuances and levels women communicate on. We know there is conversation there; we just don't know what it indicates.
It assists your self-really worth and self-self-confidence. Of program, it would. You now have someone who likes you, and this is a large plus in the self-confidence and self-esteem departments simply because everybody loves it when they are cherished.
The truth is most online http://www.phelvy.com/author/khanwilladsen39/ profiles are woeful, and bland and uninteresting and so on and so on. If you met this kind of individual in the pub, you would be making your excuses to depart, so why online do we try-and make ourselves uninteresting and stereotyped? Profiles like..
Sites, the charge for the chat rooms or online dating profile or you can on the initial teach. Maybe ashamed or afraid to shell out hard attained money on a dating site, but you can be certain that if someone is willing to invest the cost of participating in the on-line courting neighborhood, it is possible that you are extremely seriously and are prepared to go the extra mile for you!
For six months, there was increased communications and visits with family. All the intense encounter-to-encounter communications with some of the folks I had place powering me pressured me to encounter some lengthy online dating concealed feelings. And I handled it by consuming my way through it. This occasion totally reactivated a part of my self that I believed I had resolved-I guess lifestyle thought or else. It gave me a problem and I failed! I am attempting to be grateful when issues like this happen because it forces me to face head on what I am trying to resolve. And I know that if I don't resolve it, it will keep coming back till I do.
White Gables is much smaller than the two neighborhoods listed over, and buyers tend to truly like the Charleston fashion of these. You'll find good home styles, from Victorian to the Charleston solitary. The primary downside to this neighborhood is the average great deal dimension, which also resembles downtown Charleston. These houses also have detached garages, which include to the Charleston look. However, some purchasers want an attached garage for poor weather, comfort, and so on. Most of these had been built from 2002 to 2009.
Other locations this kind of as cruise lines have possibilities for singles to get together with other singles. You get to have fun and you get to satisfy people. The draw back is the price. That might be some thing you can work into your schedule if you are still looking for much more methods to satisfy people who are searching for adore. Just make certain it is not a cruise journey for partners (senior citizen partners!) as you would be out of luck.
Self-self-confidence and self-worth do not come from an outdoors supply. Note that the word "self" are on those words. It requirements to arrive from yourself, which means that you need to really feel it from yourself, simply because no one can give you that.

This isn't really on-topic for "motor vehicle repair", but I figure it's kinda close.
A few months ago, I bought a 1983 Honda Nighthawk 550, which has a straight-four engine. A friend of mine was looking at motorcycles also, but ended up buying a gently used 1800cc V-twin. I went to the dealership with him and asked what size he should look for to compare to mine, and the guy said mine would compare to a 1100 V-twin.
I'm curious because he was a commissioned salesperson and may have been trying to upsell my friend, or he could have been right. My dad also rides and has a Kawasaki KZ900, and sitting on it, it feels a LOT bigger than mine.
Thanks guys!

Can Islam Be Reformed ?
Islam currently represents a backward, aggressive, and violent force. Must it remain this way, or can it be reformed and become moderate, modern, and good-neighborly? Can Islamic authorities formulate an understanding of their religion that grants full rights to women and non-Muslims as well as freedom of conscience to Muslims, that accepts the basic principles of modern finance and jurisprudence, and that does not seek to impose Sharia law or establish a caliphate?
A growing body of analysts believe that no, the Muslim faith cannot do these things, that these features are inherent to Islam and immutably part of its makeup. Asked if she agrees with my formulation that "radical Islam is the problem, but moderate Islam is the solution," the writer Ayaan Hirsi Ali replied: "He's wrong. Sorry about that." She and I stand in the same trench, fighting for the same goals and against the same opponents, but we disagree on this vital point.
My argument has two parts. First, the essentialist position of many analysts is wrong; and second, a reformed Islam can emerge.
Already in this young century, a few positive signs in this direction can be discerned. Note some developments concerning women:
• Saudi Arabia's Shura Council has responded to rising public outrage over child marriages by setting the age of majority at 18. Though this doesn't end child marriages, it moves toward abolishing the practice.
• Turkish clerics have agreed to let menstruating women attend mosque and pray next to men.
• The Iranian government has nearly banned the stoning of convicted adulterers.
• Women in Iran have won broader rights to sue their husbands for divorce.
• A conference of Muslim scholars in Egypt deemed clitoridectomies contrary to Islam and, in fact, punishable.
• A key Indian Muslim institution, Darul Uloom Deoband, issued a fatwa against polygamy.
Other notable developments, not specifically about women, include:
• The Saudi government abolished jizya (the practice of enforcing a poll tax on non-Muslims).
• An Iranian court ordered the family of a murdered Christian to receive the same compensation as that of a Muslim victim.
• Scholars meeting at the International Islamic Fiqh Academy in Sharjah have started to debate and challenge the call for apostates to be executed.

there are room for reforms in ISLAAM, but things which are clearly abolished in QURAAN shud be kept as it is.

This article was reviewed by Jes Harvey, RD. Harvey is a registered dietitian specializing in the ketogenic diet for children and adults. She is a certified specialist in pediatric nutrition and educates children with epilepsy on the ketogenic diet as an anti-seizure medication. Harvey also manages a private nutrition practice consulting adults on the ketogenic way of eating.
There's no denying that the keto diet still reigns as one of the most popular—and highly researched—diets out there right now. But there are two clear sides to the keto debate: There are folks who are alllll for the high-fat lifestyle and those who, well, absolutely aren't.
Jenna Jameson, for example, is clearly a proponent—as is Mama June, Halle Berry, and Savannah Guthrie. Jenna, for example, credits the keto diet with her more than 80-pound postpartum weight loss, while Halle swears that it helps her maintain her health (she has type 2 diabetes).
More From Women's Health
Then there are the people who don't love the diet: Tamra Judge, who was on the keto diet for about a month, decided to quit, saying it "doesn't do anything" and noting that it made her feel sick (#ketofluproblems). And Jillian Michaels told WH last year that people should "avoid the keto diet—common sense. A balanced diet is key."
Amidst all the positive and negative reviews, though, you may still be a little hazy on the details of the keto diet—like what it is, how it works, and exactly how much butter and cheese you get to eat. Don't worry, I got you.
What exactly is the keto diet?
Short for "ketogenic diet," this eating plan is all about minimizing your carbs and upping your fats to get your body to use fat as a form of energy, says Scott Keatley, RD, of Keatley Medical Nutrition Therapy.
While everyone's body and needs are slightly different, that typically translates to:
- 60 to 75 percent of your calories from fat
- 15 to 30 percent of your calories from protein
- 5 to 10 percent of your calories from carbs
That usually means eating no more than 50 grams of carbs a day (some strict keto dieters even opt for just 20 grams a day).
What is ketosis?
After about two to seven days of following the keto diet, you go into something called ketosis, or the state your body enters when it doesn't have enough carbs for your cells to use for energy. That's when you start making ketones, or organic compounds that your bod then uses in place of those missing carbs. At this point, your body also starts burning fat for more energy, says Beth Warren, RD, founder of Beth Warren Nutrition and author of Living A Real Life With Real Food.
So how do you know you're in ketosis? There are a few side effects that can tip you off, like breath that smells a bit like nail polish remover (seriously), or you can use devices like keto testing strips (which you pee on) or this breath analyzer to tell you.
How was the keto diet developed?
Believe it or not, the keto diet was originally designed to help people who suffer from seizure disorders—not to help people lose weight, says New York-based RD Jessica Cording. That's because both ketones and another chemical produced by the diet, called beta hydroxybutyrate, may help minimize seizures.
But people who started following the keto diet noticed weight loss for a few reasons: When you eat carbs, your body retains fluid in order to store carbs for energy (you know, in case it needs it). But when you're not having much in the carb department, you lose this water weight, says Warren. Also, it's easy to go overboard on carbohydrates—but if you're loading up on fat, it may help curb cravings since it keeps you satisfied.
That, plus the fact that ketosis encourages your body to burn fat, means you can end up with pretty dramatic weight loss.
Are there different types of ketogenic diets?
While it's easy to think that the keto diet is one-size fits all, there are actually several different types of keto diets, and they all have different benefits, depending on what your nutritional goals are.
"They all have the same gist—super low-carb, high-fat—but they each have their own set of unique guidelines," says Vanessa Rissetto, MS, RD, CDN. Below are the four most common variations of the keto diet.
Cyclic keto diet
"The cyclic keto diet is similar to standard keto, with the exception of one to two days per week," explains Rissetto. "Five to six days per week, a cyclic keto dieter will eat according to standard keto guidelines. Then, for one or two days, they will have a 'carb cycle'—also commonly known as a 'carb refeed' day. On this day, they will eat about 140 to 160 grams of carbohydrates."
This type of keto diet is often followed by athletes, since they require a carb refeed day to replenish glycogen stores in their muscles. "High levels of athletic training drains nearly all glycogen from their muscle stores, so it's necessary to replenish them," says Rissetto.
It's important to note, though, even if you choose to do this diet, that doesn't mean your days off should involve tons of processed foods and desserts. Instead, look to whole grains, starchy vegetables, and fruits for your carb intake.
Targeted keto diet
"On this diet, you follow all the guidelines of the standard keto diet, with one exception—before intense workouts, you eat carbohydrates," explains Rissetto. "Typically, targeted keto dieters will consume anywhere from 25 to 50 grams of carbohydrates about 30 minutes to an hour prior to working out. Dieters often find that this helps them feel stronger and more capable during workouts.
While this does take the body out of ketosis temporarily, it will resume within a few hours, depending on how many carbs you consumed." Essentially, the theory behind this diet is that since the additional carbs are immediately burned off, they won't get stored as body fat.
Vegan keto diet
"The vegan keto diet is for individuals who want to follow a high-fat, low-carb diet, but do not consume animal products," says Rissetto. "This can be difficult to achieve, as many keto dieters rely on animal products for a large portion of their diet.
Common protein sources for vegan keto dieters include tofu, tempeh, nuts and nut butters, and beans and legumes in moderate amounts."
Though challenging, a vegan keto diet isn't impossible—it just takes a lot of advance planning.
I also keep seeing offshoots of keto, like lazy keto. Thoughts?
When something is popular, it's pretty much a guarantee that people are going to come up with new or easier ways of doing it. Enter the lazy keto and dirty keto diets. With lazy keto, people try to limit their carb intake to 20 to 50 grams a day but don't really track it; with dirty keto, people generally follow the same macronutrient breakdown as "regular" keto, but it doesn't matter where those macronutrients come from.
Keatley has some…thoughts about those. "Dirty keto is a waste of your time since good habits have not been developed and it is simply too easy to fall back into a high-calorie diet," he says. If you're trying to do a lazy keto diet, he recommends following the USDA's MyPlate instead and monitoring your meals based on proportions vs. macros. "It's easier, more flexible, and has shown, when combined with moderate exercise, to be effective over the long term," he says.
What's the deal with combining keto with intermittent fasting?
You've probably noticed that plenty of people rave about combining keto with fasting diets. Just in case you're not familiar with intermittent fasting, here's a quick primer: Intermittent fasting centers around a pattern of eating and fasting periods, i.e., times when you don't eat.
This can look different for everybody, but some popular forms of this are the 16:8 diet, where you fast for 16 hours (usually from dinnertime until a late breakfast) and eat all your food within an eight-hour span. Another is the 5:2 diet, where you eat less than 500 calories for two non-consecutive days a week and then eat normally for the rest of the week.
Plenty of people claim that doing keto along with intermittent fasting is awesome for weight loss, but it's likely any results you'd see with this would be short-lived. Meaning, when you start eating regularly again, you'll probably gain the weight back.
"Combining a super restrictive diet with long periods of non-eating is not good," says Keatley. "The body will cannibalize its own muscle for energy if intake from food is too low but the body does not differentiate between something like a calf muscle or a heart muscle. Keep in mind all your important organs are made of smooth muscle and going on a diet like this may harm something like your bladder or lungs just as much as provide fat loss."
The science thus far on IF has been pretty clear that weight loss from intermittent fasting is due to calorie restriction, Keatley points out. And, research has shown, just eating less, or healthier in general, usually does the same thing.
"You are literally starving" on an intermittent fasting diet, Keatley says. "Methods such as this are attractive as weight loss can go from one pound a week to four pounds, but this is mostly lean muscle which is essential to healthy functioning as you age and is very hard to get back once it is gone," he adds. So…it's not really recommended that you try this unless you hash it out with your doctor or nutritionist to make sure it's a fit for you and your lifestyle.
What foods can you eat on the keto diet?
Okay, so while there are different versions of keto, let's say you're thinking of following the standard keto diet, for the sake of convenience. Just because you're not eating all your fave carb-y foods, that doesn't mean you're going to go hungry. You'll be loading up on healthy fats (like olive oil and avocado), along with plenty of lean protein like grass-fed beef and chicken, and leafy greens or other non-starchy veggies. (Check out this printable keto diet grocery list, plus this additional comprehensive list of keto foods recommended by nutritionists, to get started.)
More good news: Snacks are totally allowed (and I'm not just talking about carrot sticks). There are plenty of packaged options out there designed for keto fans. FATBAR is one of them. These snack bars have 200 calories, 16 grams of fat, and four grams of net carbs. They're also plant-based and are made with almond or cashew butter, cocoa butter, coconut, pea protein, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds.
For coffee drinkers mourning the loss of their vanilla lattes, Bulletproof coffee's an option. This is your standard coffee but with grass-fed butter and medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) oil added to help give you a boost of healthy fats in the A.M.
If you're looking for something to satisfy your sweet tooth, keto fat bombs have a solid following. As the name implies, these are little snacks that are high in fat and low in carbs, so you can be on-point with your diet, even when you indulge.
And if you can't survive without your pasta, there are plenty of products out there like Explore Cuisine's organic black bean spaghetti that give you the pasta experience without the carbs. There are also tons of keto-friendly restaurants—like Red Lobster, Olive Garden, and Texas Roadhouse—that can allow you to treat yourself to a night out without coming out of ketosis.
What foods do I avoid on the keto diet?
Because you'll be focusing on fat and protein—and going easy on the carbs—big bowls of pasta (or any grain, really) definitely won't be on your menu. It also means that starchy vegetables like potatoes and carrots, as well as legumes like chickpeas, lentils, and black beans are off-limits, too.
Another thing you can't have: sweets—artificial or natural. Candy, cakes, and doughnuts are a no; and even many fruits aren't allowed (apples, bananas, pears—they all have tons of sugar, which is definitely a carb).
Alcohol's another grey area on the keto diet—many beers and sugary cocktails are banned on the keto diet, as well as some sweeter wines.
What does a week-long keto meal plan look like?
Tbh, a lot of keto meals sound pretty decadent and delicious, and it's easy to see how they could be super filling. Below, check out a week's worth of meal options that all adhere to the standard keto diet guidelines, going low on the carbs, and heavy on fat and protein.

Does the keto diet have side effects?
It usually takes three to four days for your body to go into ketosis because you have to use up your body's stores of glucose, i.e., sugar first, Keatley says. Any major diet change can give you some, uh, issues, and Keatley says he often sees patients who complain of IBS-like symptoms and feeling wiped out at the beginning of the diet. (The tiredness happens because you have less access to carbs, which give you quick energy, he explains.)
Those issues can be part of what's known as the "keto flu," Warren says. Other side effects of the keto diet, all of which are tied to carb withdrawal, can include lightheadedness, nausea, mental fog, cramps, and headaches, in addition to tiredness. Luckily, the keto flu doesn't usually last more than a week—which is coincidentally about when people start to see the number on the scale go down, says Warren.
Aside from the typical keto flu complaints, diarrhea and "keto breath" are also common keto diet side effects.
I'm dying to know: Will the keto diet help me lose weight?
As mentioned, there are a few reasons why the keto diet usually equals weight-loss gold, says Keatley. For starters, people usually reduce their daily caloric intake to about 1,500 calories a day because healthy fats and lean proteins make you feel fuller sooner—and for a longer period of time. And then there's the fact that it takes more energy to process and burn fat and protein than carbs, so you're burning slightly more calories than you did before. Over time, this can lead to weight loss.
Everyone is different, and how much you weigh when you start the diet matters, but you could safely lose around one to two pounds a week on keto, Keatley says. "It's sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on the individual's caloric needs," he adds.
Worth noting: The keto diet isn't a "miracle fat burner," says Keatley. "The calories in fat are still calories, so working out and keeping total intake at a reasonable level is the only way it works," he says. "Being on a keto diet but eating more calories than you need will still add fat to your frame."
Can a keto diet help with prediabetes or diabetes?
There's some evidence that it might help with type 2 diabetes. "An emerging body of research is finding that a keto plan may have some real benefits thanks to its ability to improve the body's ability to use insulin and also help control appetite, which can result in easier weight loss," says Karen Ansel, RDN, co-author of Healthy in a Hurry. If you have diabetes, you'll want to check with your doc before starting a new diet, though.
Beyond that, experts aren't convinced that the keto diet has any other scientifically proven health benefits. In fact, it may have some distinct downsides. If you follow the keto diet incorrectly, for example (like by eating lots of saturated fats, versus healthy unsaturated fats), you're at risk of raising your cholesterol levels.
"The best strategy to keep your heart healthy is to get as much fat as possible from unsaturated sources such as olive, avocado and canola oils, nuts, seeds, avocados, and olives," says Ansel. For some people, it's possible to actually improve cholesterol if the fats in their diet are from varied and healthy sources, says Harvey.
Also, keep this in mind: "This diet is not going to support good bones, a healthy brain, heart, colon, or gut microbiome," says Angelone, and it could lead to plaque in the arteries (which could cause a heart attack or stroke) later on.
So...should I try keto?
The keto diet is not easy—or necessarily healthy—to follow over a long period of time (certain types of carbs are good for you!), say both Keatley and Warren.
Rissetto also cautions that several populations may not be suitable for the keto diet. "The ketogenic diet is not appropriate for people with any stage of pre-existing kidney or liver disease," she stresses. "The higher protein intake that is typical of the ketogenic diet can put a great deal of added stress on the kidneys. The emphasis on high-fat foods can potentially lead to, or exacerbate, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease."
You also shouldn't be on the diet if you're pregnant: "Fetal growth depends heavily on glucose from carbohydrates," says Rissetto. So, a diet low in carbs will impact the growth of the baby.
"It's also not advised that people with digestive disorders follow a ketogenic diet," says Rissetto. "Fiber is an extremely important nutrient for digestive health, and it is common for keto dieters to under-consume this nutrient. Since whole grains and fibrous carb sources are omitted, it's difficult to get the daily recommended amount—25 to 35 grams—of fiber from non-starchy vegetables alone, as you'd have to consume a very large amount of them."
If you don't fall into any of those groups and you're interested in following keto for a short period of time, Cording says it's important to set yourself up for success by making sure you have the right ingredients and tools to make it happen.
The bottom line: Overall, if you want to go ahead and try the keto diet on for size—just remember that it's not necessarily a diet you can or should stay on forever.
