Has anyone tried 10 day no/low carb diet??

Whether you're in ketosis or not, it doesn't really change anything in regards to fat loss. Do you burn more fat in ketosis? Obviously yes, but you're consuming much more fat than you would be otherwise so there's not net increase in fat loss unless your total calorie intake is less. Weight loss comes down to calorie deficit, that's it.

No....just no.....
OP if you want correct information find... The MFP group called Low Carb Forum... You will find folks there who will answer your questions.

Please explain how anything I said was incorrect

Can you prove "Whether you're in ketosis or not, it doesn't really change anything in regards to fat loss" ?

As for "you have to do it for life" well I mean what a load of bollocks. If 40 lbs of fat left my body changing diet will not make it all reappear.

I can absolutely prove it. If you are in ketosis, but taking in the same calorie intake as before, you will not lose fat any faster or slower.

Why Some Studies Seem to Show that Calories Don’t Count

As usual, people claim that you can find a study to prove anything. You can’t, but here’s why people think that’s true when it comes to calories and weight loss.

Studies often report that people eating low-carb diets lose as much or more weight as those eating high-carb diets, sometimes despite the subjects claiming to eat the same or more calories.(33-45)

There are also a similar number of these studies that have found greater or no difference in weight loss between high- and low-carb diets, but like most people who claim calories don’t count, we’re going to ignore those for now (and come back to them in a minute).(46-62)

Based on these studies people claim that:

1. You can lose weight without a caloric deficit.

2. You can lose more weight on the same calorie deficit by avoiding certain foods or macronutrients, like carbs. Thus macronutrients are what you should focus on — not calories.

Both of these claims are completely untrue.

None of these studies controlled for the variables we talked about at the beginning of this article. Most of these studies were conducted under “free-living conditions,” which means the subjects were given instructions on what to eat, sent home, and told to track their food intake.

They chose what — and how much — to eat and the researchers had to trust their diet records.

This is a big problem.

Diets Help People Eat Less Without Realizing It

When people go on a diet, they tend to spontaneously eat less for several reasons.

First, diets place restrictions on what and when you can eat.

No carbs.
Low-fat.
No meat.
No gluten.
No grains, dairy, or legumes.
No eating late at night.
Eat every three hours.
Don’t eat breakfast.
Intermittently fast.
No processed foods.
No sweets.
No sugar.
When you take away a signifiant portion of someone’s diet or place limits on when they can eat, they can’t help but eat less (at least for a while). If someone’s used to getting 50% of their calories from carbs — and they cut that to less than 10% — they’re going to eat less until they get used to their new diet.

Placing a limit on food variety also tends to make people eat less without realizing it. If you have fewer food options, you get bored faster and tend to eat less.(63) When people have more options, they eat more.(63,64)

Perhaps the biggest reason people eating low-carb diets sometimes lose more weight is that they also tend to eat more protein. Studies have repeatedly found that when people eat more protein, they feel fuller and spontaneously eat fewer calories without knowing it.(65-70)

When people switch to a high protein low-carb diet, they sometimes spontaneously reduce their food intake by 1,000 calories per day.(71) These people didn’t notice the difference, yet in just two weeks they lost 3.6 pounds (1.65 kilograms).

You’d think people would notice if they were eating significantly fewer calories. They don’t.
