A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

We call that keto these days.
I think "keto" encompasses atkins but is just "low carb" in general. If you get the book, atkins has many guidelines, levels, etc.
So, very similar, lots of overlap but not the same.
Atkins was named after a man. Keto is the more accurate and clinical word for the same concept which is ketosis, the metabolic state your body goes into when you eat nothing but meat.
We will have to agree to disagree. This is not worth arguing about.
