Except for people advocating to eat rice. . Rice is sugar.


Do you mean because it has carbs or something? A cup of white rice has 45 grams carbs and 0.1 gram sugar

The thinking is that a high GI simple carbs like white rice have essentially the same effect on insulin response as pure sugar.

Benefits I'm noticing so far (little over 2 weeks in):

Weight loss in the mid section and lower body fat.

Increased mental alertness and focus

Great digestion and fullness and regularity of BMs.

Loss of a desire to mindlessly snack...the high fat content keeps you sated for far longer using the same number of calrories. Really don't get hungry between meals.

Sleep better and wake up easier.



All this plus no indigestion. I was pretty bad before.

But with advances in modern science and my high level income, it's not crazy to think I can live to be 245, maybe 300.

Looks like another fad diet. Gotta love watching people cycle through these diets. Eating a balanced diet and staying relatively active will help you lose weight, and it's actually sustainable, whereas people go on these diets then stop and get fat again. It's good for your heart, muscles and bones too.


Geez some of you people are ignorant. You should practice what I do, if I'm not educated on the subject matter I don't interject.

Fad diet!? It's been around for literally ever. Think cave men.

On it now. Love Keto. 2300 cal cut. Lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks. Mostly water but it still needed to go. Keeps my energy level.


First 15 lbs lost on keto or any severe carb restriction is water and will help clothes to fit better just like fat loss. However
Can be regained in a 3 day weekend with even moderate carb consumption. Easy to get on a roller coaster of water gain and then peeing every half hour. If you restrict carbs for a longer term and lose significant fat it takes longer to regain the fat even as water weight continues to cycle. The key is to keep glucose levels low, as insulin response to glucose level changes determine whether fat tissue is stored or extracted.

Biggest obstacle is believing that whole grains are complex carbs which do not generate insulin response. Modern wheat strains developed in the 80's have a complex carb called ampholectin A. An enzyme in human belly instantly strips the bonds on the complex chain and leaves it as simple sugars (glucose). Two spoons of pure sugar are lower sugar than a slice of whole grain wheat bread in germs of glucose levels and insulin respone.

Meh. I was eating pretty clean before I started. And while there is no doubt that you flush a lot of water, I did not have the typical 12 lb loss in the first week. My glycogen stores were already low from eating clean and working out. I have lost pretty much 2 lbs per week, steady.

But overall, I agree with you.

Wanna be frans?

Seriously, gonna be a month Monday. Went from 233 to 219 lbs.

I'm shooting for 205. At some point, I'm gonna go from strict keto to keto and the Perricone Promise.

Basically just adds more fruit and other types of vegetables.

I'm almost 4 months in and 35 lbs down. At this point I don't miss any of the carbs. I go over 20 grams on the reg because I eat a ton of vegetables including non-green peppers and Brussels's sprouts. I don't stress over that nonsense.

It took a while, but I have completely lost the urge to snack or eat mindlessly and my energy is up and steady.

You sir get it

I have been ranting for some time that:

-calories do not matter as much as people think they do (see my limited post history with numerous links supporting the claim)

-fat/cholesterol is a good thing and should not be vilified (see my limited post history with numerous links supporting the claim)

The biggest thing that gets overlooked is the contribution that food quality makes to shaping the micro biome (gut flora). Very few people have this on their radar. Guess what favorably influences the composition of the micro biome (and your overall health, mood, physique, resiliency)... (see my limited post history with numerous links supporting the claim)


A Paleo/keto style diet. Namely a diet high in fiber (greens, veggies, legumes) and quality fats while being devoid of traditional processed carbs (pasta, grains, etc) while also trying to eat the most quality sourced meats you can obtain

I am also on record as advocating for resistance strength training and/or HIIT as the most efficient/effective/practical way to train the body. Traditional "cardio" is a time sink with less payoff (engineering a body that adapts to that training yielding a less muscled athlete (less metabolically active tissue where the magic happens) and more chronic wear and tear stress leading to injury/illness in the often times compulsively overtraining/overstressed/sympathetic nervous system dominated individuals).

But hey, traditional dogma sells a frickload of shoes and nutrition bars/drinks...
