Keto didn’t work for me. Not sure why but I could never achieve ketosis. Probably didn’t eat enough fat bc my carb intake was around 15g per day. Plus I hated the limited diet. I didn’t miss junk food, but I missed things like bananas and peas. So I’m just on a general low carb diet, maybe about 50g per day. Lots of vegetables and meat. And I feel great.

Plus I want to gain some muscle and I don’t think keto is great for that.

Switching from rice to cauliflower-rice, cutting out all sweets, and drinking a gallon of water daily has probably made all the difference.

That's my issue. I can largely give up the fried foods and bread, the sugary sodas, the beer, etc, but the rice and gravy, bananas, and sweet peas are pretty tough to eliminate.

I'm probably going to try out the cauliflower rice soon. I really want to try the cauliflower pizza crust at LIT.

I guarantee you weren’t tracking your macros. There are a lot of hidden carbs in foods. If you actually tracked and logged your macros you would have been in ketosis.
