Now you’re terrified of falling prey to the post-Slim Fast Oprah yo-yo. Really, how long can you sacrifice it all (and will your health-care plan cover the possible renal side effects of extreme ketosis)?

Do as the diet divas do: Keto food.

You’ve probably seen Keto bars, near the Balance, Luna, Cliff, Boulder, and Power bars. Keto is touted as the ultimate in post-Zone Diet living: low-carb corn chips, low-carb pasta, even low-carb muffins. And…the tortilla chips don’t taste like cardboard. Rice cakes? Bah!

So while Olestra-cooked potato chips give you, er, stomach cramps and baked chips taste like dreck, Keto chips are tasty. (They’re big and sturdy too—perfect for dipping into guacamole.)

So re-enter the world of real food (or as close to it as you can get). It’s a pretty neat place.
