I was able to contact Catherine at the facility and told her that I really wanted to get mango pie for our son’s birthday and she was very kind and arranged for us to be able to pick-up. Not only did she give us the pie but also included whipped cream and additional bite-size pies to serve as candles. She went above and beyond and truly made our day! Thank you Catherine and Kenny’s Pies.”

Have you been attempting to lose a few pounds? The keto diet has been proven to be a game changer for losing weight. Of course, we’re not saying it’s a miracle solution. No, it takes work. But it’s enjoyable work. After all, you’re eating.
In this article, we’re going to go over what you need to know about the keto diet, including how it works and whether you should try it.
What’s covered: Keto diet
As with any diet, you need to get plenty of sleep to get the maximum effect.
One thing that’s different about the keto diet is that fat consumption is encouraged. That’s because you need the body to process fat to get ketones.
What Is The Keto Diet?
The keto diet is when you eat very little carbohydrates, if any, a small bit of protein and high fat. This puts your body into a state of ketosis.
Ketogenic eating is to eat healthy fats mixed with a little protein and carbs. Nutritional ketosis is when the body’s production of ketones (fatty acid fatty acid metabolites beta-hydroxybutyrate (βOHB) and acetoacetate (AcAc)) raises to a blood level at or above 0.5 mM consistently.
If you want to achieve ketosis, you need to eat like it. Here are some healthy foods for a ketogenic diet.
Here Are Some Foods To Achieve Ketosis
- Seafood. Fish and shellfish
- Eggs
- Cheese
- Vegetables
- Avocados
- Meat and Poultry
- Coconut Oil
- Some Types of Yogurt and Cottage Cheese.
The keto diet is pretty simple: Eat mostly healthy fats (75 percent of your daily calories), some protein (20 percent) and a very small amount of carbs (5 percent). This combo will put you into nutritional ketosis. Choose low-carb foods such as meat, fish, eggs, vegetables and good fats.
Is The Keto Diet Safe?
Most physicians say that the keto diet is safe, although not necessarily the most healthy. “The main problem with it is that it’s not nutritionally adequate,” Jessica Lowe, a USC ketogenic dietitian, told medicalexpress.com.
Lowe suggests supplementing your diet with fruits and vegetables. If not, then “you’re at risk for micronutrient deficiency.”
As for ketosis, Lowe said there is still some research that needs to be done on what a ketonic state does to the body long-term.
“It is not dangerous,” she was quoted as saying. “We just do not have an understanding as to what the long term impact of ketosis is on one’s long-term health,” Lowe said. “For certain populations—in particular those with intractable epilepsy, who are placed on a ketogenic diet—reaching ketosis is necessary.”

The celebrity owners of Bankhead Seafood have finally opened the historic eatery on Atlanta’s west side.
The restaurant officially opened on Sunday, Nov. 17 after a long hiatus as Atlanta’s go-to spot for affordable seafood in the community.
Bankhead Seafood founder dies days after restaurant’s re-opening.
The new Atlanta restaurant has been revived by rappers, entrepreneurs and now restaurateurs Killer Mike and T.I.
The two businessmen purchased the eatery in 2019 after it had closed down.
When Is Bankhead Seafood Re-Opening?
The new Bankhead Seafood is set to open on Sunday, Nov. 17, 2024. The restaurant initially had plans to open in early 2021, according to Michael “Killer Mike” Render, who has done extensive press about the eatery.
The seafood restaurant closed abruptly in 2018 after 50 years in operation when longtime owner Helen Harden admitted that she just didn’t have the stamina to run the business like she used to.
“I felt like I wasn’t giving my customers a good service when they had to wait a little longer than they usually had to,” she told 11Alive.
Here is what we know about the re-opening of Bankhead Seafood:
- The restaurant grand opening is still a ways away, but a Bankhead Seafood food truck is in the works, according to WABE.
- The new Bankhead Seafood has plans to expand the 4,200 square foot building and even add a rooftop.
- Renderings for the new restaurant have been released.
Why Are T.I. And Killer Mike Opening Bankhead Seafood?
The Atlanta rappers and businessmen both grew up in underprivileged areas of Atlanta. Bankhead Seafood has long been an institution on the city’s west side.
The two entrepreneurs saw an opportunity to re-invest in their communities and give back.
“I partnered with [Atlanta rapper] Killer Mike and other developers to purchase the Bankhead Seafood building,” Tip told INC. magazine. “There is a corner where I have an assemblage of lots that I acquired with another partner. There’s another, bigger lot that I am acquiring on my own. I’ve gone in on six buildings and spent more than $2 million. I don’t have private equity financing or anything like that. It’s my personal finances and sweat equity.”
Talking to APSTV, Killer Mike said the Grove Park restaurant is very important to the city.
“Bankhead Seafood is a product of this community. And T.I. and I buying it shows that this community has produced good stock,” he said. “We’re not waiting on other people to save us. We’re not waiting for some grand fund to come.”
“We’re taking money we’ve went out and earned through hard work and bringing it back in this community bringing jobs and opportunity.”
Where Is Bankhead Seafood Located?
Bankhead Seafood is located at 1651 Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway SW Atlanta, Ga. 30318. Here’s a map to help you find it.
Key Features:
- Expanded Space: The building is being enlarged to 4,200 square feet with the addition of a rooftop dining area, providing a modern touch to the traditional establishment.
- Community Focus: The revival seeks to reinvest in the neighborhood, preserving its cultural significance while creating jobs and opportunities in the rapidly gentrifying area.
- Historical Legacy: Bankhead Seafood served the community for over 50 years, becoming a local institution known for its delicious $5 seafood boxes. The founders and new owners aim to maintain this rich heritage.
- Modern Adaptations: Plans for expanded parking and a potential food truck service ensure accessibility and convenience for customers.
The restaurant is positioned as both a nostalgic homage and a beacon for community growth amidst the changes in Atlanta’s Westside. This blend of history and innovation makes it a must-visit for both old fans and new patrons.
Final Word
“It’s been a part of my life as long as I’ve been on earth,” Render told WSBTV. “If you’re writing a show or a book about Michael Render and his family, (Bankhead Seafood) would definitely be one of the characters.”
