Hi I'm Richard Morris from Canberra Australia and 2014 I was first sick with complications

from type 2 diabetes after taking the dietary advice of the Australian Diabetes Association.

I became more diabetic. So I did some research which led me to the ketogenic diet. Spoiler alert,

I reversed my type 2 diabetes by drastically reducing my carb intake and increasing my

consumption of healthy fats. In 2016 I was determined to help my buddy Carl by showing him what I did

and the science behind it. Hey y'all that's me. I'm Carl Franklin from the US. I also used to be a

type 2 diabetic but not as severely as Richard. I devoured all the information Richard sent me

and after a mutual friend went keto to address prostate cancer which by the way still cancer-free.

Lies. Yeah I also went on the ketogenic diet and that was February of 2016. By April I was in full

swing reversing my diabetes. We're not doctors and we don't give medical advice. We're just a couple

of dudes on the internet who actually reversed their diabetes by following ketogenic diet. Right and

we just want to share our experience and what we know about the science behind the ketogenic diet.

Yeah so we started this podcast to chronicle Carl's journey and also to provide some solid

information to those curious about this lifestyle. Right and now we have over 200 podcast episodes

this being 211 but some of these have been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times and also

after failing on Facebook we moved our online community to the ketogenic forums where tens of

thousands of people share their experiences every day. We also founded an annual ketogenic

festival called KetoFest. Carl and I both software developers as such we found ourselves at software

conferences several times a year and we tend to gravitate towards the conversations that happen

in the always at conferences. Sure the talks are great but it's a community that we enjoy the most.

So KetoFest is a conference to discuss the latest research of ketogenic diets and it's also a

festival celebrating the ketogenic lifestyle. So tell me Carl what is a ketogenic diet?
