Learn about nutrition ! A long term diet means getting one for YOU, not some actress who wrote a book or a typical fad diet. A Keto diet can cause can cause problems ,I wouldn't recommend them. I would start with reducing sugar as that has long been a problem with the typical American diet. There are tests to determine your mineral and vitamin levels .

Get sugar and quick carbs out of your diet and suddenly you will find that you don't have to "diet".

All the protein based diets honor the same principle - The Glycemic Index. Eat like a diabetic and you most likely won't get Type 2 Diabetes and have a better chance against gaining weight and facing a heart attack.

I went on it about a year ago. It worked very well for me. I went from 229 pounds to 178 pounds in about 3 months. I would not recommend doing it like I did though. In the end part of it I stopped eating meat and ended up with real low iron stores and got very weak. Not a good thing.

If I was going to do it again I would do it intermittently. On again, off again. And I would make sure to take a good supplement.

And I agree with what has already been said. A keto diet works very well to get weight off fast. But then you need to find a diet that is healthy for you.

my employment situation changed and im not as active as I was... more time to eat bad stuff.. doughnuts, burritos, fast food stuff, instead of the good stuff... I can give up a lot of carbs, some (like ice cream) will be harder to do.... I see that I can replace starches with different vegetables , same with fruits... just change some and see how it works...

I have been the same weight for as long as I remember - around 60-64kgs.

I eat everything I want, including lots of sugar, salt, red meat, chili’s etc.

My doctor has given up telling what to eat.

But, I never sit still.

One day last week I never left home, but still did over 12 kilometers around the house!

I have a sports band, not long ago it started shaking to tell me I have done my 10 stair cases by 8 in the morning!

Walter says he gets dizzy just watching me move around.

And the best part is, I will be 68 next week, never had any serious sickness, never been to hospital.

My wife says germs and virus die as soon as they come into contact with me - too much chili in my system! clap

Correct statement. It’s calories in vs calories out.

Make sure your diet is balanced, protein, carbs and fat. Fad diets that cut out one of the above will achieve weight loss at a cost to your body or possibly health. Up to half of weight loss will be muscle, exercise can help tip the loss in your favor and burn calories.

I did the Atkin's diet (basically the same thing as the Keto) and went from 318 Lbs (145 Kilos) to 174 Lbs (79 kilos) in 14 months.

I got off the diet and went back up to 240 Lbs in 5 years but then I cut out the carbs again and weigh 195 Lbs now.

I can't believe the amount of BS there is on these types of threads...

I'm not a Keto expert but I can tell you that the low carb diets work(keto is basically low carb as I understand it).

This BS about low carb being unhealthy is just plain silly. Get your blood work done before you start keto or low carb then have it done periodically as you diet. If you are like most overweight people you will find that your blood work shows improved health as you loose weight on a low carb diet.

You also need to find some type if exercise that you will be willing to do on a consistent basis.

Being overweight is far more unhealthy than loosing weight on low carb diet.

A low fat, very low carb diet is easy to maintain and very healthy.

I pretty much live off of lean protein and vegtables.

Very little dairy and no carbs including peas, corn, carrots, and beans.

Egg whites are a great staple in my diet.

Is my execution perfect? of course not.

Legistine actu quod scripsi?

Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.




What I have learned on AR, since 2001:
1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken.
2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps.
3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges.
4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down.
5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine.
6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle.
7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions.
8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA.
9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not.
10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact.
11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores.
12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence.
13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances.

Oils and fats are not a bad thing at all. In fact, when we started removing fats from our diet in the late 70's onward, the incidence of cardiovascular disease increased.

Most of the benefit of the Mediterranean diet is attributed to significant EVO oil consumption - up to 1 liter per week. Nut oils in particular are life saving if you have cardiovascular issues. Even now eggs are recommended (not just egg whites) because they contain essential fats. So limiting oils and natural fats can be counterproductive if you go overboard. But you have to watch out as oils contain lots and lots of energy - ie calories.

Sugar on the other hand should be completely rooted out of your diet. There is zero health benefits linked to sugar intake.

Then there is coffee and caffeine - some of the best protection against stomach and colorectal cancers.

I have the same issues as I was raised on a meat + potato diet;that is hard to change.I'm not overweight but I am active;that could change at retirement. Jim you are active but you spend more time on the road,just a fact. When my ex wife asked me to join her for a "walk" after work I said you've got to be kidding me.I am on my feet in the shop 12 hours a day at least.Got me to thinking + I bought a pedometer + clipped to my belt;seems I was walking at the minimum of 12 miles a day in my shop.(Helpful marriage hint),don't tell her that she is wrong.There is also the "Firehouse Diet" built up by an Austin firefighter that promotes a veggie + high protein diet that excludes red meat.I tried it for a couple of months to try to pacify the home powers that be but gave it up as that is not who I am. I have also been on a diet before that I believe is true. Do your regular diet (what ever that may be) but give yourself ONE night a week for something for YOU. In other words,do everything you have to do to lose the weight but allocate ONE night a week to give yourself a treat,pizza,etc.If you are human you will break down with nothing of pleasure coming in. Give yourself 6 days of discipline + one day for yourself in dietary debauchery (pizza,etc.)Doing this you will stay on your diet

Keto works for sure and so does whole 30. The biggest things is learning to cook without the carbs. Once you get past that everything taste great,your energy level picks up and for us our sleep cycle improved(meaning we rest well now verses before).Eliminate the sugars and carbs and you will feel better.
Good luck

Amen to that. My doc told me the same thing-cut out "white stuff", ie. flour, sugar, rice, etc.

I’m of same opinion.
Eat a balanced diet. Eat a reasonable amount of calories, and get some exercise.
Unless you have a specific medical issue that a “medical doctor” says needs specific dietary requirements, forget diets.

What these "fad" diets are doing that actually makes them work is cutting out the highly processed carbs that have become the mainstay of the American diet in the past 40 years. For most people if you are eating a diet high in processed food(which is high in processed carbs/sugar) you will over eat because the food makes your more hungry. This is why low fat diets don't work and are so hard to stick with.

If you are eating much in the way of processed carbs/processed food you are not eating a balanced diet.

Kind of an uneven article. And it never said you should go vegan as the headline suggested, just replace shit carbs with good carbs. In other words, eat real food.

All diets are nothing but a load Of bloody bullshit!

If you are sick, your doctor can recommend a specific diet.

Otherwise, one would expect any normal person - assuming normal intelligence- would know what to eat, when to eat, and how much.

This is almost as bad as all the books on SELF IMPROVEMNT!

Or when I hear some nut case say “ and then I discovered myself!” jumping

I know, some people say they do not have so much self control when it comes to food.

In that case, don’t blame anyone when you suffer! rotflmo

It is all about calories consumed and burned. If you take in more than you burn you will store the excess. I am better than I have been but, I have been overweight my entire adult life.

There is no doubt that the above is correct. What some people fail to realize is that certain types of foods will actually cause your body to crave more calories. If you eat the right foods you will not be hungry and you will loose the excess weight.

O.K. the real issue here is how the the individual leads his own health life.Those of us who REALLY work don't have that problem too much.In all honesty. I just came back from seeing mother in law who is 101 years old + losing it daily.I don't want to go like that.I prefer to eat what I want + die in my sleep We can only hope because the ONLY . truth is that no one gets out of here alive.

Years ago I discovered my body was protein machine and one time when I was lifting heavy I said hmmm what if I cut carbs to 100g. How about 50g. How about 0. Haha.

Anyway you might want to buy and read the South Beach Plan book. While it is all the same in terms of how you eat and progress, the South Beach probably is better at explaining it and you can follow without too much fad part.

One thing is do not buy those Adkins snacks and use them. A buddy had them and I looked at the make up of them. Snickers bars are much more nutritious and yummy and probably less junk in them too and cost lots less!
