@ amandacowan1978 The keto flu is caused from your body/liver depleting glycogen and water and therefore it disrupts your electrolyte balance,that happens when you lower CARBS. Keto is a high fat low carb diet so why would you cut out fats from your diet if doing keto?
and just so you know I did keto for 2 months and for me I lost 5 lbs of water weight and that was all I lost. my weight loss was the same doing keto as it was eating the way I do now. also when you decrease your activity you need less calories as well so that could be why you werent losing back then. Thyroid issues can make losing weight harder too because it regulates metabolism.so if your levels arent on point weight loss can be hard. my daughter is having that issue at this very moment.
Ketogenic is defined as a very low carbohydrate dieting. It can be everywhere from high to low fat. The current diet craze is a modified ketogenic diet, which tends of focus on fat, but that certainly not a representation of the diet in general.
most that do keto here of course are the high fat low carb people. but still to get into ketosis you need very low carbs. I think I mentioned that above. if a person does low carb,low fat and high protein then how do they enter ketosis with very little fat as their fuel source? I know protein can be converted into glucose if needed but wouldnt that defeat the purpose of ketosis? your body would then run on glucose instead of fat to produce ketones right?
I know there are different types of keto but with most of them they all have higher fat limits. just one has the protein @25-30% of their calorie intake,the rest are all lower protein(I posted links in another thread awhile back). most of the diets had at least 60-90% fat intake. to me thats high fat.I do a low fat diet because I have to. I cant imagine cutting my carbs really low and upping my protein, egads I couldnt do it.0 -
Lol, you wooers can woo away all you want. Still doesn't change the fact that a meta-analysis of 32 studies controlled for calories and protein intake showed no metabolic advantage to a ketogenic diet. Those woo must be the cheering kind!

So you can finally admit keto and LCHF is as good your IIFYM diet!
Just what many of us have been saying for year! Gotta love science.

Ketosis isnt driven by fat, its driven by an energy source change from restricted carbs. Fat just makes for an easy and efficient fuel source while protein isnt a good fuel source.4 -

Exactly. Lots of interesting ideas out there about Ketogenic Lifestyle and Ketones and Glucose and Glycogen. I am learning myself (aka, edumacating myself) as to all of the technical parts to the two. That change from glucose to ketones is interesting. Still not educated enough to have intelligent conversation about this, but do enjoy reading the different posts. Again, very interesting "thoughts" on this topic.1 -

It is indeed a good choice - for some!
I follow the Ketogenic Lifestyle due to high A1C and insulin resistance.
I know a couple of people who have different autoimmune diseases and they GREATLY benefit from the Ketogenic Lifestyle.
But, it (Keto) is super restrictive. And the Keto Flu (which, admittedly one experiences due to ignorance) can absolutely destroy any desire to follow this way of eating. Which is really too bad. A little ownership and personal accountability make the Keto Flu a non-issue.
I can preach the benefits of the Ketogenic Lifestyle, but I would be doing anyone and everyone a dis-service were I to not include both benefits and challenges so that people can make a more educated decision. It is really challenging (not for me, but I am 'off') to restrict Carbs to under 50g a day.
Anyway, I love technical conversation. Working on it!1 -

I curse whoever named the electrolyte imbalance "keto flu". It makes it sound like something that will be / must be experienced if one does keto, and not something that is entirely preventable with a bit of knowledge.
I've had people argue with me about it. They insist it is the keto flu - a carb detox - and not an electrolyte imbalance, so they don't increase sodium, then they suffer a while longer, and then they quit while attributing their symptoms to ketosis rather than low sodium.
I think most bad ketogenic experiences are due to not increasing sodium enough. Not all, but most.

Meh. I ignore those buttons: like, woo, whatever. I don't often use them or read them. They're pretty pointless.
I've been tempted to type "the sky is blue" to see if that would get woo'ed just because I wrote it. LOL
ETA I went back through this thread and found I was woo'ed about 45 times over 8 or so posts.

There's always body fat, and protein can be used for some energy, it just is not a good primary source.
Consider starvation. If someone is only eating 400 kcal a day of only carbs, they would still end up in ketosis due to a lack of energy although they are eating 100g of carbs which is higher than a normal ketogenic diet. A lack of carbs or calories will cause ketosis.
Medium chain triglycerides are also converted to ketones very readily. People can raise their ketones, even if they eat more than low carb, by eating MCTs. That's one area where eating more of a fat can raise ketones. More fat is just not a requirement to making ketones. KWIM?2 -

I can see the case with starvation though but then in that case you body will be using fat,muscle and lean mass for energy though. I know a lack of carbs cause ketosis thats not what Im saying thought. I just dont know how a low far ,low car ketosis diet would in a way be healthy due to the body needing some fat for hormone production or does the ketones help with that? I know that when you fast your body will also turn carbs and other things into fatty acids to run on,sort of like a ketosis. so that sorta makes sense in starvation.as for body fat though what happens when a person doesnt have enough body fat? then what? are there any legit studies on this that I can look up? Ive looked up some but its doesnt answer the questions I have.0 -
Thinking about trying the keto diet. I am trying to cut just a few pounds for a summer trip that I am taking with a couple of my friends. I have heard that keto is super easy to do after the initial two days. Please advise on how long it took for you to lose X number of pounds and to see the results or how long it took to get over the "keto flu" or tips on how to manage or good food to eat. Just any tips. Wanting to start soon!
Thanks for your help in advance.

For whatever reason there are people on here who constantly go out of their way to bash the keto diet. I don’t go on other forms talking trash on how people lose weight but to each his own. I personally love the ketogenic diet and unlike some of the responses, there is science that backs fat loss while in ketosis. There is no other form of eating that gets you into this state. That is what separates it from all others. Everyone will have different results and find it to be “easy or hard” depending on the individual. I was at a lull for about 2 straight months at 211lbs while counting calories on MFP. I reintroduce keto back into my diet and am now at 204 in a month and a half. Unlike other diets, there are no cheat days. Cheat days kick you out of ketosis and you have to work your way back to it. For me personally I find it hard at times to stay away from certain carbs but I balance it out by eating foods that are preferred like avocados, ribeye steaks, eggs, salami etc. I find having friends on here who also keto with open diaries a good way to find new recipes and items to eat. There is a simple book to read that’s on amazon called https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Ketogenic-Diet-Beginners-Essential/dp/1623158087/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1529034761&sr=8-1-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=keto+diet&psc=1
It’s full of great info as well as a ton of recipes.
I hate it when people bash the Keto diet! Very good response! Right on!12 -
Lol, you wooers can woo away all you want. Still doesn't change the fact that a meta-analysis of 32 studies controlled for calories and protein intake showed no metabolic advantage to a ketogenic diet. Those woo must be the cheering kind!

Oh, believe me, I am not bothered by it. I find it funny really.1
