/fit/ here.

Great diet unless you have high colesterol.

Only valid complaints Ive heard frompeople are you feel a little more fatigued and have to cook more. But being as this is /ck/ we are already fatigued and love cooking. So its really a positive adventure.

I've been on keto for about a month now just trying to cut down a few extra lbs and its the best diet Ive ever tried and results come quickly as long as you adhere to the diet.

I do cardio/weight lifting and intermediate fasting as well (only eat from 10am - 6pm) and results have been pretty remarkable.

If you have any real interest, I hate to say it but head over to the hugbox and read the /r/keto FAQ and it really outlines it all for you and helps you to figure out your macros and all that pretty easily.

It, like Atkins and any low carb diet of the last 40 years, shows great short term results and is completely unsustainable in the medium and definitely long term.

If you want to lose weight fast and think you can shift from keto to a traditional healthy diet with vegetables, grains and moderation go for it. Long term if you think you can follow a diet that can be thrown off kilter by rice, potatoes, pasta and bread, which are the primary sources of energy for 99% of the world's population, I would advise against it. It can be done but it isn't easy and it isn't healthy. Haven't done it myself but people say you feel sluggish on it.

>>6958566
Short term is 1-6 months. The amount of time that any new hobby keeps your undivided interest. Medium term is .5 to 2 years. It's unlikely you'll keep up the dedicated war against carbs up for this long. Bread, rice, potatoes and pasta are everywhere. And for good reason too. I'm not even including things anyone losing weight should avoid. Ice cream, cakes, milkshakes or anything sweet.

Look at diet rationally. It's calories in v calories out. We try to get as many nutrients as possible without consuming more calories than we burn. Eliminating carbs is the worst way to go about this. None of the macronutrient groups should be excluded but carbs even more so.

Keto advises that we eat fat and protein as our primary source of energy. Both include foods that are so easy to over eat. A spoon of oil contains as many calories as a slice of whole grain bread. An extra spoon of oil is much easier to incorporate than another slice of bread which is also a lot more filling.

The reason why so many people lose weight on Keri initially is because they're still figuring out how to get their daily calories with their main source excluded. Eventually they figure out how to get their fill and also miss the staples like bread and it all crumbles down.

This.
Except I've lost 30lbs in 3 months. I don't do the fasting, really, but I've seen obese ppl lose insane amounts quickly. Like, friends and co-workers. I've SEEN it work. It's pretty nuts.
And you get to eat good food. Oh, and I do absolutely no workout. If you want to workout you need to bump your protein intake, but if you want to be lazy... then you just eat less. Pretty much like any other diet: eat less than what you're burning daily.
The payoff with this diet is that you change your metabolism to burn fat instead of carbs/sugar (not body fat, but fat that you are eating). So cheese and other fatty dairy products, fatty meats, etc MAKE YOU FEEL FULL, so it doesn't feel like you are starving yourself.
Check the hugbox if you don't have any friends to guide you.

fat and protein are way way more filling than carbs, that's why it's so easy to overeat carbs and hence the evil carb reputation. fat and protien make your stomach send satiety signal to brain 100x faster than bread. Don't believe me? wait until you are all-fired hungry like a wolf, eat a cracker, wait 10 minutes, see how you feel. then have a tablespoon of heavy cream(in tea or something whatever) and notice nearly instant difference.

or drink a pint of heavy cream in one go- you won't be hungry for a day and a half, I guarantee it

Keto done probably isn't a weight loss program. It's to enhance your overall health by ensuring your cells are properly coated with fat. Which they probably aren't if you've been getting most of your calories from carbs your whole life.

Most people fuck it up by just eating meat and cream, and getting insufficient vegetables. You need to continue getting a large quantity of a wide variety of vegetables for complete nutrition, and that can be tough because it makes it harder to keep carbs down.

I'm gonna be one of those arseholes and sing it's praises.
I've slowly transitioned onto it almost as a full time lifestyle change.
After a month I lost all bloat and water retention, I see food as fuel now and meals take minutes to cook with little prep.
Breakfast - Eggs and bacon as an omlette with spinach and peas or watermelon
Lunch - Tuna, cottage cheese and boiled eggs
Evening - Fish poached in tomato sauce served with broccolli and other mixed veg.

These meals are examples but breakfast and lunch are always the same, evening meal changes up slightly with pork chops or steak, hot dogs in lettuce 'buns'.
I season well so they don't taste bland.

I still crave carbs from time to time but when once I could eat a huge 16" pizza in basically one sitting I can only manage a few slices of pizza and I feel rammed. Same with sandwiches - two slices of bread will fill me for almost a whole day.

I also drink only water and green tea, I have a pot of coffee around 3 times a week. A glass of no sugar pop when I fancy one (about once a fortnight or after drinking).

The only con and thing I found hard to adjust to is no beer.

I've always slept little and feel groggy after more than 7 hours sleep. Around 6 is perfect for me.
I have far more energy now and it's more balanced across the day. I work an active job and was coming home from work, filling myself with carbs and crashing about 8pm bloated and sleepy.
I wake at 5am, go running, put my breakfast on the hob while I shower, eat, go to work for 8, come home at 5, prep tea, that cooks while I shower again, eat then play vidya or shitpost here from 7pm - midnight.

Different anon- I'm full paleo, so related to keto. Fruit is okay in moderation, but should be thought of as treats due to the sugars.

The real benefit of this style of lifestyle change is that your tastebuds change. I used to down two or three HUGE apples in one go, now I am fine with one small one. Our bodies become much more adapted to telling us when to stop, so overeating actually becomes harder.

I did it consistently for several months leading up to my 21st birthday.

First few months weight loss was slow until I finally got the hang of it. I am 5'6 and went from 180 down to 160lbs over the course of ~2 months or so leading up to birthday. Figured I could take a cheat day for my 21st, NBD.

Went out with friends, got fucking hammered out of my mind. Woke up next day at like 5am with no hangover to speak of since I puked it all up the night before. As such, I was hungry as fuck and killed a large pizza I had in the fridge from day prior I bought as a hangover cure.


TLDR Stopped keto-ing for a bit, gained a few pounds back but didnt think much of it. Next thing I know I am eating a fairly normal diet again here I am 1 year later and I weight about 185.

Been trying to get back on it, and am slowly but surely.

It sucks though, having my 22nd birthday coming up in a few days and still being fat, because down at 160 I was actually looking pretty good as I have a decent amount of muscle mass. Could have been shredded by now. The thing thats frustrating is I carry my weight in such a way that I dont look fat. Its just sort of soft around the edges, never shows up on my arms or face so when I am dressed its like hey I look good, when I am not its like... oh. Diets aside, I have my own self control issues I need to work on, but had I stayed on keto I would have been shredded by now.


TLDR Worked for me over a couple months. Gained weight back I lost when on it. Trying to restart, and stick to it for a year and see what happens after that.

Almost healthy weight by 21, fat again at 22, lets make this the year and be on my way to making it as /fit/ would say by 23.
