The Keto Diet

You aren’t supposed to eliminate carbs. You’re supposed to severely limit your carbs. It’s the way every diabetic should eat.

For a non diabetic, the best diet is the diet you can sustain long term



Figure out your TDEE(calories you burn per day), hit your protein and fill in the rest of the calories however you may. At the end of the day its about being in a calorie deficit if your goal is to lose weight.

I'm doing low carb and am in ketosis, but have plateaued at -17 pounds. How does one get 75% of calories from fat? At some point, despite being in ketosis calories have to be reduced otherwise the stored fat you burn simply gets replaced with more fat and fat is calorie dense. Cutting back would lead to lack of satiety, no?

I RA’d to have it moved. I forgot all about that board.

It works. I dropped over 10% of my body weight in about a month and a half, and all my numbers (cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, etc.) fell into tolerable numbers.

If I'd been exercising, I probably would have ended up healthy. But life happened, and l started drinking beer again.

75% or your diet should be fats. I started last week and have found it difficult to reach that 75% threshold. Anyone else doing this diet? Any tips? Will I die?

More avocado. More "oil" dressings like chimichurri. Butter. Use them and focus less on your proteins. Eat a lot of leafy greens.

If you are going hard on Keto, I would watch out how hard you are working out. I almost fainted at the gym somewhat recently on deadlifting day when I had been depriving my body a bit too much. A lot of experts say you have to hit that point a couple times to realize where your body fits on the spectrum

Second this. You flush your electrolytes, particularly early on, out very quickly. It's recommended to up your potassium, magnesium and sodium intake on the diet.

Might sound counterintuitive about the sodium, since everyone tells you it's so bad for you, but you aren't eating all the processed foods anymore where most people get the majority of their sodium.

I've been playing golf fine all summer even though it's hot as frick, started back on keto and almost passed out on the course the other day.

Wife got us to do weight watchers. No meetings we just use the app to track etc. I've lost over 20lbs and it has been pretty easy.

6 pound 2 ounces of that was water weight.

I don't know why you're getting down voted because you are objectively right.
