    I did low carb for a while, and it worked well enough... but I got tired of having "off limits" food groups. I'm now following the "always hungry" protocol, which is closer to a Mediterranean diet. Low(ish) carb and high (quality) fats.... I like it because its basically low carb but with more fruit and veggie allowances.


    Add some whole grains and legumes and it's a repackaging of the South beach diet!

    It's a subset of low carb.

    I would love more keto friends (add me!) for support and meal plan ideas. Does anyone make keto deserts? I haven't tried one yet the have looked at a lot of recipes. I'm still in my first week and I'm loving it.

    Several folks are talking about desserts in the low carb group currently. (The one linked above)

    I haven't posted there yet, but I experimented with a rhubarb crisp. Tasty and I will do again, but not as low carb as all that (rhubarb + nuts would do that, even without sugar/grains).

    Umm, YUM!! I love rhubarb desserts.

    So much AMEN to this!! ;) I too have a love affair with all things rhubarb!!

    Is keto diet same as low carb?
    Low carb is eating under 150g carbs, and keto, I believe, ranges somewhere between 20-50g.

    @kabbalahredstring1029 I've whipped double cream with vanilla whey protein and took it to the freezer for an hour. I thought it was delicious and simple, plus helped me through my PMS :-). In the past I'd eat a massive box of chocolates.

    All diets whether they are keto, paleo, low carb, low fat all operate on the same basis of that the person doing it is on a calorie deficit. A calorie deficit will make you loose weight. All about calories in vs calories out. Carbs make you feel fuller and help with appetite so your not always hungry. If anything do carb cycling, so on training days have higher carbs lower fat and rest days higher fat lower carbs:) just make sure your hitting your macro nutrient targets.

    The bolded is only true for some. For others, carbs can stimulate the appetite.

    OMG no. Carbs make me want to eat my arm off. Protein and fats are fairly neutral for me, but if I eat carbs (especially more simple carbs like cake or fruit), I will be *starving* and looking for food all day long.

    I guess to each his own.

    That's about right, although some can be in ketosis at a higher carb intake (usually very active and metabolically healthy people) and some can take carbs to almost zero.
