It works. Stay under 20g carbs per day. First week or so is gonna suck. After a couple of weeks you'll feel really good. Gotta buy ketone strips to pee on to make sure you're in ketosis. Drink lots of water. Hope you like meat and cheeses.

health wise keto is the absolute worst since you will most likely eat a fuck ton of bacons and animal fats which are very bad for you health wise
aesthetic wise, it MIGHT work, for a while, if you are skinny fat or not that fat in the first place. i also did keto once and it did make me look pretty good. i was only skinny fat though and i eventually stopped since it made me feel like shit.
if you are a hamplanet then it will NOT work. since keto only work short term and being a hamplanet you will need to stick to a diet for a LONG ass time for it to work and for you to be skinny again. keto only work short term because like i said, health wise, it is fucking terrible for you, and it will make you feel like shit.
so how should hamplanets eat? in a way that they can stick to for years, ideally their whole life. losing weight for people this fat will be a lifelong project not a couple of months.

One meal a day works because you have something solid to peg your discipline to.
>Oh I'll just eat less
>Oh I'll just eat healthier
these are rules that are too easy to bend or break.
>I'll eat this ice cream today but I'll eat less the next meal :)
only works so often before you just say fuck it. One meal a day is easier to stick to because it's such a hard rule and if you're overweight it's unlikely that you'll eat more calories than you burn unless you're just guzzling milkshakes.
you should still exercise and try to eat healthier but sticking to a solid meal schedule (1/day, perhaps fast for 2 days every now and then) is a good starting point. I love unhealthy food and have shitty discipline but even I was able to lose a bunch of weight by doing omad.

My understanding is that theres some evidence that the keto diet may be more effective for weight loss than a low-fat diet if you are an insulin-resistant fatty. (That is to say, fattys will be more likely to adhere to their calorie targets on a very low carb diet.) But the short term side effects of ketosis seem shitty, and you absolutely need glycogen from carbs to have good athletic performance, and it seems like it would be very hard to get all your micronutrients without eating vegetables or fruits which of course contain carbs, and it seems like everyone on keto is retarted, so imo keto is retarted. The fattys should listen to their allies from the heslthy at any size movement on this one, cause this is like the best case study those guys have lol, where i agree, id rather be fat eating sweet potatoes every day than be thin on steak and butter only.

Medeterrean diet/low carb is more sustainable long term.

The trouble with counting calories is thinking you know the equation. Basal metabolic rate isn't some predictable constant. Hell it's possible to outright piss out fat. CICO is mostly popular among midwits who think that doing some basic number crunching makes them smart.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3148648/

I can't stop wondering about the implications of this study.

>Two groups of mice given the exact same food, except one group gets solid pellets and the other gets fine powder
>Both groups given access to unlimited food
>The powder group ended up eating and eating

I get the impression that our bodies can't handle processed food properly, and that processed food simply doesn't trigger the same leptin response as unprocessed. This means that while you COULD just scream CICO at the powder mice and call them fatties, they'd naturally lose weight without the need to count anything if they were just fed food their bodies recognised.

I think CICO is just bad advice. The simple solution to obesity is to just stop eating processed junk and go back to natural food, whether it's meat, vegan, whatever.

You dont have to strictly do keto, you just need to solely consume meat. It's fairly difficult to overeat on just meat in the sense of becoming obese. The reason every keto guy seems like a fat fuck is because its the only diet that appeals these fatsos because they can continue eating bacon. It is also a diet that is specifically used for people with obesity to lose a lot of weight in a short while, often to prep for surgery so that might also be why it has such a big reach with these lardos. It is also a popular diet with people that hate exercising since you dont really have to with keto.

There are hormones in your body that tell you to eat food, and hormones that tell you to stop eating food. Rather than counting the caloric content of food that may very well not tell you to stop eating food, wouldn't it be better to just focus on eating food that tells you to stop eating? That way you'll wind up eating less calories anyway, and you'll be doing it in a way that doesn't require incredible willpower and make you more likely to fail.

CICO works by helping you identify where your caloric surplus is coming from so you can make informed decisions on what to eat.

nteresting findings, but your conclusion that natural food is better does not jive with the conclusion. Pellet food vs powdered pellet food, neither is natural. The study may just show that pellet food takes longer for the mice to break down so they feel fuller quicker and stop eating, plus having to chew a lot may also make them stop eating sooner.

If you want to lose weight then you need to count your calories. Eat 1500 a day, if you dont lose weight in a week, then drop it by 100 calories a week until you do.

Stay away from nu-keto. Like everything they latch onto, soys try to bargain their way through so they don't have to change anything. This results in "low net carb" trash like "keto pizza", "keto bread", "keto chocolate balls" and other garbage. Your goal should be ZERO carbs. Absolutely zero is not really doable, but any "carb allowance" will just mean you're going to go over that, 100%.

The keto idea is simple: FAT, MEAT, EGGS, CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES. Dairy is limited to hard cheese, because it's pretty much free of lactose and therefore carbs. Other dairy is better avoided. Especially plain milk is far from keto-friendly, it's basically a candy drink. What is ALSO to be avoided, if you want to be in ketosis, is too much protein. Keto diet is primarily FAT based. If you're just eating endless meat and cheese, you're on a high protein/low carb diet, NOT keto. You also MUST exercise or you will only end up skinnyfat and flabby.

BUT WAIT. Keto is a false god, you should be doing high protein and moderate carb (this will come from dairy protein sources) and fucking LIFT. Every two months, do at least one week of fasting, and not pussy fasting but water+salts+minerals+vitamins only. I recommend loading up on minerals and vitamins you can store in the week before fasting. Exercise is NOT optional in this phase, and the first three days DO NOT COUNT. Any day you're still shitting, you're not truly fasting. It will suck, but if you do this a bunch of times you will get used to it and the effects of starting a fast will be at most maybe a half hour of slight dizziness on the first day.

My point is that even with access to infinite calories, mice given "normal" food remained a normal weight.

I don't get why keto makes people so furious. It's just a diet, what sparks this seething?
