    I think the secret is to not keep doing the same thing you did the other 4999 times.

    For example, if you can't stick to keto - don't do it. No reason you need to. If you can't manage more than 2 weeks, it's clearly not a good fit for you.

    I lost 130+ lb so far eating the same things I always ate, just planning my days in advance to meet my calorie goals and weighing my portions to ensure accuracy.

    ^This! Keto works great for some people, but it's not necessary to lose weight. So if you can't stick with it for more than two weeks, it's obviously not right for you. All you need is a calorie deficit - plug your stats into MFP, log your food and hit your calorie goal.

    Exactly. Step one - don't make it miserable and you might just succeed. Since there is nothing special about keto, not sure why the insistence on trying it "5000" times.

    What's the definition of insanity, again?
