What Machine Made Cigar Are You Smoking Today? WMMCAYST™

Yeah keto works, but it sucks. I just need to force myself to stay more active and I won’t have these every two or three year 25 pound weight swings. I’m 55 years old and will be hunting the high sierras at about 7000 feet elevation, not a great idea when you’re 25 lbs overweight and haven’t moved a lot on a couple of years. Besides, I feel a lot better about smoking pipes and cigars when I’m more fit, doesn’t make me feel like this may not be such a great idea. Staying fit and active sorta takes the devil out of a lot of things that can pester you when you’re older.

Been doing Keto/Atkins for a couple months.......down 35 lbs.Now for maybe 20-25 more.One of my old Shipmates who lives in NC has been doing Keto for about 16 months,started at 282 now at 181.A hundred plus friggen LB's!!!

Good luck 9

At the risk of hijacking the cigar thread, I have been doing the keto thing since October of 2016. It does not seem to have done anything to my sense of taste. I had my annual physical earlier this week. All my numbers look good. On the doctor's scales and all, I was 1 pound away from goal weight, and the doctor said it was time to start maintaining the current weight.

I will say it is nice to have bacon and eggs for breakfast every morning and have good cholesterol numbers. I went off my statin last year, so they are looking good without meds.

As a guy who has some experience with keto, you should track sodium and keep levels up or you can feel washed out w/ no energy. This is the dreaded "keto flu."

I found an unopened box of White Lightning Crooks under a stack of newspapers in my office. Oh, happy day!

I've found that bourbon , along with a combination of hot tubbing it and sex .. is a a combo activity that will allow you to by pass all the weight loss stuff ... for 2 rasons . I. Youll lose weight drinking , hottubbing and getting it on like 2 rats boinking in wool socks . 2. Even if you dont lose weight , you wont care bcause your boinking like rats in wool socks , hotubbing and partying

I think it was a DM Palma Swet Cigarillo .. it was prettty good !!

Pip,

Why don't you have an avatar? You blend into the woodwork without one. I miss seeing a photo of my favorite Solid Citizen when you post. Want me to send you one of my spares? We're almost twins....

it is always good to see you here. Enjoy that Travis Club after dinner, brother.
Cheers!
