Strict keto takes away the food noise, which is what a lot of us struggle with. There's no longer the cravings, you're not fighting your own body every hour of every day.

Personally, I've settled on a long-term diet

• emphasizing saturated fat
• adequate amounts of bioavailable protein
• zero carbohydrates

All my food noise is gone. All my cravings are gone. I still have some emotional triggers, like walking by a donut shop. I used to walk by, but that's much more manageable. I'm not struggling with food like I used to. I actually only eat about once a day, I don't have any cravings. When I do get hungry. It's a very different hunger than before, it's just oh I could eat, not I must eat.
