No. No it's not. in fact it's quite hard to do it properly, and not sustainable for the majority of people. You have no meal prep, starving out at a restaurant with your friends, you feel like you have to order, so you do, what do you get? how are you absolutely sure about the nutritional facts if they aren't labeled? It can be done, its not easy. You have to measure ketones, too much is bad. This isn't a diet where cheating on it can be done regularly, unless your cyclic. You are changing systems, constantly measuring and being aware. If you have all these habits and can do it, then it's great. If you can go without carbs in your life, if you can meal prep, if you do everything right, eventually it will become natural and a second language. Just because someone claims they lost 10 lbs in a week doesnt mean its magic. I take 6 pound poops, which to me, is more magical. To me, keto works great i've lost 40 some pounds, and my overall life is much better. Its more hectic so I consume lots of caffeine but thats another point. But just because I can doesnt mean you can. I only can because it works for me. If it doesnt work for you that okay. Keto isnt a last line of defense or the first. Its just a way of eating thats works well with me. Now if you want to try, go ahead. But if you fail and you fail pretty easily, than itll be tough. Keto was actually made for cognitive function and treatment, not fat loss. I dont do it for the fat loss. I'm with Mark Bell in the war on carbs. But that's me. Doesn't mean its for everyone.

Find what works for you, don't fall into the short cut trap. Work hard, be disciplined, you'll succeed.

    This couldn't have fit in one of the other Keto threads that already have debates going?

    Between the 6 pound bowel movements and the "war on carbs," this post is officially freaking me out.

    Ketones never have to be measured for a nutritional ketogenic diet. It's just interesting to do. Most will achieve ketosis if they cut carbs below 50g.

    It is impossible to make too many ketones if you have a pancreas that is working and making insulin. Too many ketones usually only happens with T1D's and the occasional binging chronic alcoholic.

    Thank you. Unfortunately, I don't know him or her, it's just a picture I found online.
