RAISING THE CURTAIN
ON THIS WEEK’S ISSUE
I
’ve been in and out of this trend
for several years now, and am
back into it because of the results
it’s given me in the past, and the
need for those results again: the
ketogenic diet.
Most everyone knows what
this meal plan consists of, but for
those who don’t, it’s where your
diet consists of foods that are
high in fats and protein, and con-
tain almost no carbohydrates.
Depending on who you talk to,
60-70% of your calories on this
diet should be from fats, and the
recommendation is healthy fats.
Then, 25-35% would be from
proteins. And the fi nal 5%, give or
take, is carbs. That can allow you
a taste of something sweet here
or there. The goal is to get your
body into a state of ketosis, where
it burns energy off of stored fat
as opposed to carbs, according
to webmd.com. Mixed with some
intermittent fasting and exercise,
the food plan can indeed eff ec-
tively lead to weight loss.
A lot of foods you would think
should be on a diet — root veg-
etables (like carrots) and some
fruits, for example — can be
eaten only in moderation because
of their carby nature. Eggs, avo-
cado, olive oil, bacon, beef, tuna,
chicken, leafy greens and foods
like this are some that can be
eaten. (My wife, who is doing this
with me, fi nds many more options
online to get past the blandness
that sometimes can come with
this diet.)
I personally dropped about
45-50 pounds in 2018-19 doing
keto and working out. I fi nd myself
in a place of needing to do it
again, and I expect it to help me
reach my goal. So far, so good.
(Disclaimer: This is not an en-
dorsement of the ketogenic diet,
or a call to say you should do it if
you are considering a weight-loss
plan. That plan should be dis-
cussed with someone with better
health knowledge than me.)
urgency of Radiohead’s landmark
album “In Rainbows,” though it
doesn’t sound like a knockoff .
Still, the album takes fl ight
on the strength of Rowe’s voice.
Almost a growl at times, it falls
somewhere between George
Ezra and Richard Thompson, with
maybe a hint of Tom Waits.
Ultimately, though, Rowe
doesn’t sound like anybody else.

‘THE DARKNESS DRESSED
IN COLORED LIGHTS’ BY
SEAN ROWE
S
inger-songwriter Sean
Rowe’s big voice is part of
the reason his new album has
heft, but it’s not the only one.
His resonant baritone is
matched with powerful, well-made
songs that range from somber to
soaring.
The new album opens with
“What Are We Now,” a mellow
but muscular number that Rowe
(rhymes with “how”) acknowledg-
es was infl uenced by the pulsating
