Keto diets and other special snowflake fads

I feel like I'd love this diet to be the answer...and yet..:o/ I don't know about you guys but I find it hard to drop myself down to 40-30-30 on 1300 cals let alone lower than that on carbs.

I eat 1300-1700 cals per day on 65% fat, 25% protein and 10% (it's not dead on EVERY day, and during Christmas I will have a few higher carb days). Not hard at all because I'm no longer struggling with being hungry all the time. Amazing, I know.. cuz I'm a special snowflake.

No this DIET is not the answer... however, for me, this lifestyle is the answer for resolving all of my health problems. So far, it is also working for obesity too.

What is is about keto that makes people so mad on this site? Go ahead, ignore every positive study, the MANY people who have great success on it. In fact, your opinion means ZERO just because you do not like it. You think it's extreme? Why would someone who has had success on it care that YOU FEEL it's extreme?

I would love for MFP to outright ban people coming into a keto paleo whatever thread and doing nothing but saying it's stupid, doesn't work blah blah. You aren't being helpful or constructive, you are just trying to force your opinion down everyone's throat.

I personally take breaks, I lose 30lb in 45 days or so, then I stop. Reinforce with carb feeding after workouts to try to peak my muscle growth, gaining 15-20 in the process. Then I go back to keto and drop 20-30lb. Bodybuilders have been doing it for a long time and it works for them.

Does that hurt you guys in some special way we don't understand? Take a look at yourself, not someone else's chosen diet.

Amen to that.
