leonid: How much of a calorie deficit are you on?

Re: Keto?

I'm not sure. Stopped counting really, other than I make sure to eat around 140g of protein (I weigh 137lbs). Then I eat fat until I'm full

Re: Keto?

from the friends and family that i have that have used high fat/protein and low carb diets (30g-50g a day), a lot of the testimonies i get are that the second they stopped the keto diet they were very susceptible to gaining a lot of weight/fat back, so unless you're wanting to make the keto diet your lifestyle long-term i'd just create a caloric deficit and stick to it while making sure you get your macros, seems a lot less of a hassle imo

Keto works. I lost about 50 lbs over 6 months with no extra exercise. Check out https://www.reddit.com/r/keto/ This was a huge resource for me. Tons of recipes and helpful folks over there.

This makes zero difference. Being in a caloric deficit regardless of your macronutrient consumption will result in weight loss. The answer most common for people gaining weight after keto is that they weren't tracking calories to begin with (which should be done regardless). High protein diets usually result in higher satiation. Carbohydrate dense foods (most, at least) typically won't satiate you as much as protein dense foods. Carbohydrates and protein share the same caloric value per gram (4 calories per gram). You can see how this would cause problems when you substitute more protein for more carbohydrates.

Keto works on its own because it's easy for people to do without worrying much about excessive consumption.

It's really amazing how almost every single health marker goes into a healthy range with a few lifestyle changes.

Re: Keto?

I had like a cheat week and at least 2 cheat days since the beginning of December. All I can say is one cheat day doesn't do shit, but that cheat week fucked up my new found abs and I went right back to being unsexy.

Re: Keto?

This is one of the diets where you are not allowed to cheat ever. You are either on ketosis or you aren't.

Well, just don't be that guy that rebounds after weight loss.

Re: Keto?

I manage that by accidentally gorging on pasta and lasagna in my dreams

(Sometimes I do wonder, if this was a good decision. I could just as well be a happy diabetic guy)
