Keto Diet, Give It A Try?

Now me personally, I have not tried this diet. But my sister and her friend started it a month and a half ago and let me tell you, the weight loss was rapid!
What is this diet you ask?
Well to put it into simple terms, it's a diet with little to no carbs. A diet that's high in fat and protein. What it basically does is once you body runs out of carbs (glycogen), your body thinks hmmm.... I've no more glycogen to fuel off of. So it starts using fat as it's new fuel source, thus burning fat and losing weight quite rapidly.
And the good thing about this diet, besides the weight loss, is the food you can eat.
As I understand, my sister was on a diet of 2000 calories per day with 50%fat, 45% protein, 5% carbs.
Her diet consisted of Fried eggs, bacon, cheese, peanut butter, steak, duck, coconut oil, burgers etc. etc. you get the point. Foods people trying to lose weight can only dream of. Or so you thought.
Anyway guys, I thought I'd put this out there. If you're struggling to lose weight I highly recommend this diet. If you're interested google it to find more information and give it a try
Peace.

That's a 110%. Might want to edit your post while you still can.0

Maths was never my strong point!0

Research shows that a Keto diet and a restricted calorie diet where both dieters are consuming the same calories, both produce the same amount of fat loss. S fat loss is not excelled in a Keto diet of 1700 cals over a regular caloric deficit diet of 1700 cals
( assuming both people need 1700 cals to be in a 500 deficit)0 -

I would suggest a little more research as you're wrong on a number of points0 -
can you send me a citation on that? thanks.0

No thank you. I eat all that stuff already. Except for duck, which is expensive and I don't like it. Plus I get to eat icecream.0 -
I feel deprived of carbs and therefore deprived of energy while eating 200-250g+ so I think this would kill me.0

Keto is high fat moderate protein, rapid weight loss initially is due to water/glycogen losses, increased fat oxidation does not cause the rapid weight loss, nor does it signal increased fat burning, it's due to increased fat intake. And the foods you listed as foods people could only dream of eating while losing weight, only applies to the ignorant who beleive "bad" foods can stop weightloss in it's tracks barring medical conditions that would require limiting certain foods0 -

Care to give us a source for that? I've read the opposite.0 -

This!0 -
I've done it (even got the stupid pee sticks to make sure I was doing it right). It sucks and I found it not sustainable. I cycle my carbs - lower days and higher days but dont stress it too much.0

I lose weight just fine on eggs, hamburgers, bacon, cheese, coconut oil etc., etc. but I also get to eat the hamburger bun, potatoes, white rice, pasta, beer etc., etc. You just have to eat less than you burn. Quite simple really although not always easy. 0

Not good on the long run
Agreed
This diet I have done recently (well not exactly as you described it). Initial weight loss was mostly water weight, and then fat.
After trying to add in HIITS and weights, I found I had no energy to work out. I have slowly added more carbs and protein into my diet. I am able to do more high intensity exercise now, which IMHO is necessary to reach my goals.0 -

Fair enough mate, I only said what she told me. And I took her words because the proof was there after I saw how much weight she lost in such little time. But thanks for clearing up those points, it's nice to know what it actually does to your body
As for the sentence about the food, you've misunderstood me I think. In no way did I mean to be ignorant. I could have probably phrased it better though, my apologies.0 -

Eh. I already eat that stuff and I'm not "trying" to lose weight, I *am* losing weight - quite successfully, I might add.And I took her words because the proof was there after I saw how much weight she lost in such little time
I'll stick to my 1.5 lbs a week, thanks. Losing weight slowly is more likely to result in sustained weight loss.

Water weight and calorie restrictionWhat it basically does is once you body runs out of carbs (glycogen), your body thinks hmmm.... I've no more glycogen to fuel off of. So it starts using fat as it's new fuel source, thus burning fat and losing weight quite rapidly.
Oversimplification of how the body worksAnd the good thing about this diet, besides the weight loss, is the food you can eat.

What about the food you cannot eat or drink? I can eat all that food, should I wish to, on a non keto diet, plus I can eat the food you cannot on a keto diet.
Long term studies show that there is no benefit from a fat loss perspective and adherence is very hard.0 -
The best part about rapid weight loss is the rapid weight gain!!!!0

I'm doing keto... and there's been nothing rapid about it.0

Basic Atkins plan.
BINGO this is not new and as long as you keep calling this a diet, you are destined to relapse. LIFESTYLE is the key word.
Atkins does work but I can tell you from experience, unless everyone in your household is living the same lifestyle, it will not work. Carbs in the house will be carbs consumed. Thus my having to go low calorie after my divorce and starting a new relationship. I could not, even after 7 years on atkins, refrain from consuming his carbs.0 -
Not all keto diets are high in fat. In a Protein Sparing Modified Fast, an individual eats virtually only protein, so that once the body enters ketosis, it burns stored fat for fuel since it can't doesn't have the option of burning the fat you're ingesting.
Also, when done correctly, keto diets result in initial rapid weight loss, but the majority of that inital loss is water, as carb cause your muscles to retain water, and when your body realizes it isn't getting carbs, the water is flushed out.
As soon as your body comes out of ketosis, you gain the water weight right back, so I wouldn't use the overall weight loss number as an accurate test of how effective a keto diet is. Coming out of ketosis also involves a process to ensure you don't gain all of the weight back and then some. It can lead to bingeing in some cases.0 -

um... I'm wondering why you're endorsing a diet when your first sentence is: ``Now me personally, I have not tried this diet``
Is there even a sister0 -
Interesting, thanks for sharing, but I did find the rhetoric distracting.
The main flaws I see in this study are the calorie self-reporting and the method for measuring fat as the Tanita BIA device.0 -

What she said. :-) Except I don't eat duck or coconut oil - because I don't like them. My weight loss is also only about .5-1 pound per week - which I'll gladly take since slow weight loss DOES tend to be more sustainable in the long-run and even at that pace, it's certainly adding up!0 -
This is so dangerous. I can not imagine why anyone would want to put their body into a state of Ketoacidosis. This is not healthy, even if it does make you lose weight...which it will. You are already fat, why would you want to add more potential health risks?0

I don't understand why people are such A-HOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OP is obviously new and obviously doesn't know much about this diet or maybe any diet..instead of thinking you all are being funny (hur hur because you're not funny) why don't you offer some encouragement and direction to the right way to lose weight?
Why even waste their time..... No life??????
OP if you wanna add me as a friend I can direct you to some awesome encouraging people here... I try to stay away from the message board because people are not very nice anymore these days...
And yes I did tell you!0
