Keto Diet

Hi all

Starting a keto diet in the next few days just for a couple of weeks to get me back in shape after my holiday.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Jane

    Good luck, and stick it through. Give it 14 days of less than 30g carbs, the first 4-5 days will be hard.

    Is this a temporary diet?

    Dietary fats won't make you gain weight. An excess in calories will make you gain weight, and out of all the macronutrients, carbs are the macronutrient most likely to be stored as body fat.

    Be wary of eliminating any macronutrient. Our bodies are designed to utilize certain food types in various ways, and while it will work with what you put into it, your body does not have to be happy about it.

    Decent way to drop quick water weight, unfortunately fat loss isn't significantly different to a non keto diet holding cals and protein constant

    Always scared when a person put “quick” and “results” in the same sentence when talking of weight loss or body transformation.

    I am with Annaruthus… and If you were a friend of mine, I would say "how about you skip that and just kick it old skool - be kind to your body, eat clean, kill it at the gym, practice some patience and then, voila: you'll get results!”
