Keto/LCHF

OP - for your own sake run away quickly.

Check this out for the basics and overview http://www.reddit.com/r/keto/wiki/faq#wiki_all_about_ketostix

I usually watch my calories just in case my body isnt burning much fat. Also when you low carb you tend to feel fuller so you end up eating less during a day.

OP - for your own sake run away quickly.

Thank you, did not mean to get any bashing started, but I knew I was taking chances lol!!

You'll get less-bashing and less "my opinion is better than your opinion (or your science)" if you post in a keto-specific group.

Once the IIFYM crowd sees this, they'll come after you with all sorts of opinion.

The absolute TRUTH is that unless you need/want a ketogenic diet for medical reasons: (morbid obesity / metabolic syndrome / diabetes / PCOS / Hashimoto's thyroiditis, etc., etc.) you can see very successful weight-loss with a moderate deficit and you can retain lean-mass by incorporating resistance/strength training.

If you're adopting it for medical reasons, regardless of the physiology behind it, I'd say join one of the MFP keto groups and keep your questions there. In the general "Food and Nutrition" forum anyone who wants to is free to speak their mind and may give very differing viewpoints and advice from what you're looking for.
