And of you co/ck/s on (or have been on) a meme diet? South Beach, Atkins, Paleo, Veganism, Weight Watchers, Mediterranean, Raw, etc? What was it like? Did you have any side effects? Was it expensive? Hard?

I'm doing Keto right. Pic related is my friend, along with some fontinella cheese, spinach, and hard boiled eggs. I'm about three days in, and I guess the "Keto flu" is starting, but I didn't eat a lot of refined or processed foods, so it's not that bad. I did just finish mowing the lawn though, and holy shit - my sweat stinks worse than it ever has in my life.

Currently doing keto, having been on it for about a year and a half.
3-4 months into it I ended up losing about 40 lbs and currently sitting at a healthy bmi.
Last time I cheated with a carb heavy meal (a few donuts and pizza) I ended up getting Dyshidrosis on my hands and fingers, I don't know if this is a coincidence or directly related to it, but I rarely have cheat days now due to that. However, on keto my face is incredibly clear (makes sense since my blood sugar is low) and I just generally feel a lot better.

I've tried healthy diets that included carbs, but they would still leave me incredibly hungry. I feel as if that's the best benefit of keto, it keeps you fuller longer.

Since so much of my diet is meat, it kinda is. But not outrageous, I spend about $300 per month on food.

It's really not, and that's why low carb attracts so many haters. It's a shortcut that works.

I think keto gets a lot of hate on 4chan because it works. I actually appreciate the contrarianism. If there's something wrong with it, the assholes here would eventually find it. The best they can come up with so far is easily refuted bad science from the 90's and unsubstantiated medical boogeymen. So far it looks like a viable human diet.

I did keto for 2 months and went from 185 pounds to 160 pounds. I took a month break and now I'm back on the keto diet, I'm a week into it. It's a lot easier starting out this time because I already know what the deal is and everything but the first time I did it I felt hungry quicker and would get irritated from the hunger really easily (at the start of the diet, that is) and my breath constantly tasted like rubber or something. So far this time around I haven't felt any side effects which has me worried, am I even in ketosis? I wanna get down to 150 pounds then I'm just gonna count calories

Also, it's a hard diet at first, my first month was painful abs I constantly thought about quitting. At the end of the first month I had a cheat snack and then the second month the diet was sooo much easier. You just have to stick with it for a month and then it becomes incredibly easy and you won't want to stop

Im doing keto plus an elimination challenge diet.
Im not trying to loose weight but clear my psoriasis. It helps a little bit but its still there. I have tried fasting and it seems to help so i think i have some kind of gut imbalance instead of a food intolerance.

Been dieting for last two and half months and I just lowered the amount of calories/high calorie food consumed, nothing more. It's pretty easy and seems to be working good enough, I was a bit weirded out innitially as I had pretty much no idea what I was doing, but everything seems to be working out just fine.

Still got probably at least 2 months to go, feeling like I want to go to like 13% bodyfat or lower, but we'll see.

not on keto here, i eat rice and pasta, i'm not sure what i weigh, but i'm a large man, 6ft, if i had to guess... between 175 and 200 lbs. no idea really though. I've thought of doing it, but for the past few months i've been needing to add holes to my belt because it was too loose several times... so it seems like eating whatever i want i'm still slowly losing weight. I'm over 30 in case that matters. Oh, and i work really hard all the time. I know a few guys who are on diets, and having trouble not being fat, but their jobs are sitting around snacking type jobs... if you're a young person and fat, i'd suggest getting a hard labor job, you'll get paid to work out essentially. and you'll also be too busy and tired to eat so much

So I've never really gone on a diet, to be completely honest. I'm not horribly fat, but I am overweight. I've heard a lot about this keto diet, and after looking it up online it seems like something I could do. So, essentially, keto means a diet of meats, vegetables and cheese? It feels a little daunting, especially with the whole "keto flu" thing, but I think I'm gonna try it.

One of my biggest concerns is gonna be cutting cokes out of my diet. What's a good drink to substitute? I was thinking black tea, maybe with some kinda zero calorie sweetener.

[Anonymous No.10619157]

This thread gives me a lot of optimism that I'm making the right choice.
I've heard mixed things about alcohol while on keto. Is it no problem? Will it kill me faster than Iocaine? Should I just count it as dead calories? I know ketosis is a liver related process and I don't really know how they interact.

Currently I'm going on a test boosting diet because my testosterone was that of like an 80 year old man at my last checkup. I completely avoid plastics and other xenoestrogens/phytoestrogens. Lots of eggs, meat, and Brazil nuts with no dairy or soy or anything that might have an estrogen imitator.

>What is it like?
It's a lot of good, organic food. Three eggs and three strips of nitrate free bacon in the morning with some supplements, steak and spring mix salad with olive oil, Brazil nuts and basalmic vinegar (shit's cash), and then for dinner it's always open ended. Usually some chicken or more steak from the farmers I know who don't put hormones in their meats. Feels good to live away from civilization.

>Did you have any side effects?
I shit more often now, my farts smell awful, and I have a sex drive like that of a rabbit

>Was it expensive?
If I didn't know the nice farmer guys down the road yeah it would have been pretty expensive. They give me eggs and steak and bacon and shit for free though, all that I need to buy is stuff for salads.

>Hard?
In the beginning yeah it was really hard. I went to a banquet the day after starting and I had to turn down a lot of the stuff because it had dairy and soy in it. They had plenty of prosciutto and other meats too though so that was pretty nice.

I totally recommend it honestly. You feel fucking great, you have more energy, not as depressed/moody, more confident, better sex drive, better muscle gain, it's fucking great. At my last checkup I was back up to the top end of the healthy levels of test for a 25-year-old male.

You are not eating enough fiber and you can permanently fuck up your digestive system continuing the way you do.
In any nutrient-conscious diet 50% of your plate at every meal should be veggies. It should be especially easy for you to squeeze this in because you aren't limiting carbs.

Yes, it can be done, but it's a fine line. The difficult part is getting adequate levels of protein without eating too many carbs. I tried it for a couple weeks as a test. I used tofu as my primary source of protein. Dietary ketosis is about macronutrient percentages, not the source of nutrients. Anything is possible with knowledge.
