Drink more water. You've lost water weight in that 10 days.
That actually sounds horrible to me. Usually the worst part of keto is your body adapting to burning ketones for fuel. That's usually when you get all the headaches and feel drained. But I've also never tried going back and forth before.True Anomaly said:
You don't have to eat "keto" every day to lose weight. You could structure it as a few days of keto, and a few days of "normal eating". It might make it more tolerable, and as long as you're in an energy deficit you'll still lose weight
And if you find that you're a few weeks into this and you still hate it, you are more likely to abandon it anyway. If you're getting to that point, might be time to re-evaluate
To each their own. Doing keto long-term for me feels more horriblebigtruckguy3500 said:That actually sounds horrible to me.

For the sake of argument…keto does work for weight loss. So does carnivore. So does paleo. So does Whole 30. So does vegan. So does a high carb/low fat diet. So does several other variations you've no doubt heard about.SARATOGA said:
"Normal" eating, or the "Standard American Diet - SAD" is exactly what has caused the obesity epidemic.
"Normal" is an opinion. And if normal is obese then I want to be abnormal !
Focus on what is best for you. You are your own test case, and when it comes to your health don't let conforming to societal "norms" be a factor. Your health is worth it !
I'm happy to share the research I've collected on "abnormal" nutrition, and there are tons of qualified (see Medical Doctors, practitioners, and researchers) in the #Carnivore and #Keto communities.

so the strawman in this thread is that one either eats keto or a full on, stereotypically awful SAD diet?
There's no nuance whatsoever between the 2?
I'm sure by "normal" they just meant healthy foods, but not low enough carbs to maintain ketosis.
Pretty much the approach I follow as wellaggiegolfer03 said:
yeah, I just assume they mean a more "whole foods" version of the atkins induction diet when someone says "keto" .
honestly, as someone who just controls calories and eats a high protein diet, I use a lot of products designed for "keto". I just enjoy eating fruits, starches, or grains so I have some glycogen when I work out.
I've done low carb, and I always end up feeling like a need more energy for workouts. Great way to lose water weight and for calorie restriction though.
Ugh, Keto people are like crossfitters...SARATOGA said:
You're right. It is pretty really easy.
DON'T EAT CARBS.
The rest takes care of itself

Look, it can work for some people. But for all around health, especially if you are active. EAT FREAKIN CABRS. You are going to feel better and perform better.
And why is it that anyone I have ever met on keto do not have impressive physiques?

Your statement is incorrect. For all around health - AVOID CARBS. To feel better and perform better.....also AVOID CARBS.
Note: Often KETO and CARNIVORE people are lumped together in the "No Carb" group which is not inaccurate, but KETO is much more focused on FAT, whereas Carnivore is much more focused on protein (and if animal fat comes with it then so be it).
I'd love to hear your thoughts on what is an "impressive" physique.....because the way things are going in America right now for middle-aged office workers which I'd assume most of us are it is certainly rare to see even minimum standards of healthy as those standards become more and more lax err "body positive"
If no carbs are the best for performance, and carbs are not only unnecessary but inherently bad for you, why do more college and professional athletes not avoid them completely?Tex117 said:https://texags.com/forums/48/topics/3394321/lastSARATOGA said:Quote:

TxTrasplant is doing a great job in this thread (which you have posted on).
She is a far better (and far more patient) poster than I am.
And no. You are wrong. Flat out.
Impressive? I mean athlete not some tubby office worker who snagged on to some fad diet to lose a few pounds which can only be achieved by eating below maintenance calories. (Look, Im not saying that the tubby office worker losing a few pounds isn't a good thing...it is, but that is not truly the best way to go about things and absolutely not the way to go about it if you are active.)
