I genuinely like the flavor of a lot of sodas but they add way too much sugar

Is keto just a meme? I've thought about trying it, but I'm worried that it's not something I could keep up forever

I have heard negative side effects from keto diet regarding kidneys. Try intermittent fasting instead.

@Ben Rainsford - OH Keto is legitimate but it requires a good deal of discipline. At the end of the day, it's calories in, calories out. Eat less and excercise more and you'll lose weight.

@Ben Rainsford - OH Talk to your boys @Andreas Cincinnatus and @Lucas Anglocius they can help get you into shape

We should have done some cardio at the Renfaire

@Andreas Cincinnatus Stop slacking bro

"Calories in, calories out" is a gross oversimplification. This based Asiatic man explains: https://youtu.be/tIuj-oMN-Fk

I'm on keto now

Down from my all time high of 186 to 172 this morning

Have been doing it for maybe 3 weeks

I don't know if I just had a lot of eater weight or what, because even to me that seems like way too much

@Ben Rainsford - OH I know some people who are on a keto diet and it works for them.
What worked for me in the past is figuring out how many calories and grams of fat my body burned a day and eating a deficit of both.
Whatever works just depends on your body type.

The only problem with keto is everyone I know who’s done it usually goes back to their normal size if not worse after coming off it

@Jacob a lot of it is water right at first. Your weight loss should level out to about 1-2 lbs a week depending on your deficit.

How tf is obesity real? Just stop eating till you have abs, nibba just put the fork down

@DairyMaxx like just walk away .... and keep walking

The walking helps.

Keto works. Works for me, for sure. As a diet it's effective because you aren't as hungry as you'd be on just caloric restriction alone.

It's not something to do long-term.

It's a tool.

Keto is a way to teach your body to burn fat. Fasting is how you actually burn significant amounts of fat. Nobody got time to lose 1-2 lbs a week. You can lose 1-2 lbs per day depending on activity level, while boosting HGH by fasting

You can go Keto or just cut the grains, sugar, vegetable oils and get most of the same benefits

Depends on the grains, 100% whole wheat grains are fine but definitely cut out white bread and anything that contains enriched flour.

I think wheat in general is pretty bad. Glyphosate, gluten, very inflammatory... but it depends on the person

The benefits to a gluten free, high cholesterol diet go way beyond fat loss.

You make a great point about activity level.

A pound of fat is about 3500 calories. You can burn around 2000 just by sitting on your butt all day. Actually do something with your day and losing a pound in 24hr is easy

True story. I lost 70lbs by fasting.

>losing weight
PERMABULK GANG

Anyways, as I've said before. Ketogenic diets are okay for short term weight loss goals or for those who don't do HI workouts. For those who live a sedentary life or whose workouts are as intense, it could be okay in the short term. But the fact is our bodies are designed to run off of glucose for a reason. While there are some genetic limitations, proper caloric intake combined with a varied exercise program, adequate sleep, and proper supplementation is a much easier and healthier approach to sustainable weight loss

😂

All I know is I lost 70lbs in 3 months by intermittently fasting and eating vegetarian every other day.

I went from size 38 to 31

I've lost nearly 40 lbs and have maintained the majority of my strength since then 😎

Having an active job helps too. I was behind a desk, now I’m a blue collar A/C guy.

>Not deciding how to eat based on the evolutionary diet of white people

True. Go full Paleo.

b but your brain burns glucose before anything else! That means it's the preferred fuel source
