Ketofest 2019!!

Only one week after travelling to Washington DC to yell at....er...make a comment to the USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans Committee, I travelled north to New London, Connecticut, the home of the annual Ketofest. 

Historic first: low-carb comments made to @USDANutrition Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee by nearly a dozen MDs from across country. Testified to failure to help patients using Guidelines but dramatic success w/low-carb @HouseAgGOP @HouseAppropsGOP https://t.co/jkebShCRr2 pic.twitter.com/RamgmQXAAn

Ketofest is a two and a half day party/barbeque/science conference occurring every July for the last 3 years. It's hosted by Carl Franklin, host of the 2 Keto Dudes Podcast. I attended the first Ketofest in 2017 and returned this year although only for Science Sunday. Ketofest is great for people at all levels of keto from those who are contemplating jumping to low carb to people who have been doing it for years.  They turn tho whole town of New London, ketogenic. Several of the restaurants were prepared for the ketonians with special menus catering to the diet needs who follow this form of diet diet biohacking. As with all low-carb luminaries are available to talk with. I found luminaries in the audience who did not even have a speaking role.
