Short for ketonic diet. You alter your metabolism to produce ketones, which power your cells typically in the absence of glucose, such as in times of fasting. It's the opposite of rabbit starvation, where instead of being deficient in protein, you cut all possible carbohydrate sources (like grain, sugar, alcohol, vegetables, fruits) and consume basically straight fat and protein for >90% of your caloric intake. When your body enters ketosis, you start powering your cells entirely off fat, forcing your body to use its stored body fat instead of making more. It's basically taking the "cut your carbs to lose weight" idea to its logical conclusion. Some downsides, though, long-term ketosis damages your internal organs and puts stress on your kidneys. It causes bad breath, headaches, nausea, and intense cravings for sweets and things like French fries and potato chips. People on ketosis diets also find themselves having poor memory and mental fog, possibly interfering with workplace productivity. Though if you can stand these complications, the rewards are great; resulting in unequaled fat loss, sometimes upwards of 20 lbs or more a month, while still getting to pig out on things like steak, fried chicken, eggs, peanuts, mayonnaise, etc. Only consider it if you need to lose body fat quickly and the old "cut calories and exercise" routine is unrealistic for you.

TLDR: you know that shitty feeling you get when you haven’t eaten for a few hours, tired, foggy, and grumpy, with a nonstop headache? Now mutiply by the number of days you will yourself into thinking this fad diet will last.

Interesting
Sounds like a load of shit lol

[Anonymous No.11948379]

>>11948291
Actually that goes away if you stick to it for a few more days. I tried it a few years ago and it’s totally doable in the long run if you hate food. I just didn’t see the benefit other than saving $6 every morning on fine pastries. It’s also kind of socially limiting unless you’re going to convince all your friends to do it too.

Might have to do with the brain being mostly made up of fat

Eat low number of net carbs per day, 20-40g or less. Net carbs = carbs - fiber, because fiber passes through your system with no calories.

To not feel like shit, get plenty of water, and electrolytes i.e. LiteSalt, and magnesium.

Do this and your appetite lowers and weight flies off without exercise. But it's just a "fad" that comes and goes because most people are NPCs who lack basic self-control and common sense.

how fucking fat are you?

PS. it takes around a week for your body to switch into ketosis. The main point is that your brain has to switch to ketones instead of glucose.

Nobody who uses the term "NPC" unironically is in a position to lecture others on common sense.

It's about calories in and calories out you idiot. Not eating carbs doesn't change shit. The point of keto is just to make you feel better while cutting weight.

[Anonymous No.11948435]

>>11948429
I hate to sound like I'm siding with a Joe Rogan addled frogposter, but actually if something helps people stick to a calorie deficit then, by definition, it does change shit. See humans have this thing called a limbic system which can override the more reflective decision making that they'd ideally want to guide their actions. Intelligent people can find ways to manipulate their own limbic systems in order to compensate for hard wired impulses that they would prefer to suppress. You drooling retard.

>if something helps people stick to a calorie deficit
this thing is called discipline, it doesn't matter at all if you eat mcdonalds or fucking grass as long as you stay in caloric deficit. Fat shits go on "keto diet" because they believe that not eating bread will make them lean and they proceed to eat everything with cheese and mayo because muh keto fats.

Intelligent people don't have to compensate for shit. If you want to lose weight you stick to your caloric like an inteligent person intake instead of binging on junk like a brainlet.

You know how I can tell you've never actually done real strength training, endurance training, or learned a complex skill other than beating button mashers on your xbox?

You'd be a perfect candidate for crossfit faggotry. Hey it hurts and it's hard and I get injured a lot so it must be doing something right?

Am i supposed to refute some faggots projections? Have you proved that you're not fat? Not eating on a cut seems like something you can't do so you look for every excuse and you just keep arguing.

You are 100% fat because you got pretty angry after the first time i called you fat and you started projecting shit about lifting and playing xbox. I bet you're a faggot who eats junk because "muh carb up" and you call yourself a "powerlifter" as an excuse to be fat. I bet you can't even bench 4pl8 you weak fag.

[Anonymous No.11948619]

>>11948569
No, there's no need for you to refute anything because I destroyed you with one post. And no I'm not a powerlifter, but I can tell you're mostly a keyboard warrior so there's no sense in discussing my sports interests, training routines, or diet, as it's just going to make you feel insecure and complain about e-statting and everyone who has achieved anything at all must be lying. Have fun with your "discipline", you sad /fit/ reject.

Ketosis. The ketogenic diet can either be for medical reasons or the new hipster trend. You don't cut all carbs, you maintain a ratio by keeping carbs to a minimum.

>>11948376
Ketosis is a real state. You're born in a state of ketosis.

Unfortunately, it's the latest hipster health trend but it serves an actual purpose.
My close friend was placed on this because he was born diabetic and epileptic. The obesity factor wasn't helping further the cause. Fucker lost weight faster than a bulimic, seizures became less frequent and it allowed him to come off metformin (idk how or why, don't ask)
But ketosis sucks to get into (feel sick), stay in (expensive and bland) and leave (feel sick again).

Would not recommend unless you genuinely need it for medical reasons.

The biggest benefits of keto for me is that after the initial 2-3 days of adjustment to the diet, there's a lot more mental incentive to never cheat on your diet (since you feel bloated and shitty when you re-introduce carbs) also, after the first time I did it for a month, while I still have a tooth for grains, I just can't stomach sweets anymore, the idea of eating more than a tiny little slice if cake or candy is nauseating to me now.
