    I'm almost 4 weeks in and down 20 pounds! Look on you tube for Dr Jason Fung's six part series "The Aetiology of Obesity". It's highly technical but, explains the science supporting what you are doing. It also explains why you DON'T lose muscle and the benefits of Atophagy! Keep your mind on your goal and ignore the naysayers rcpamplin!

    People might say that....but context matters.


    To the OP:

    In general, that would be considered too fast, unless you are obese to start with. I would just say to be careful with that rate and be careful not to under-eat because there are a whole host of problems associated with that. So I'm going to hold back hitting the awesome button only for the lack of context.

    Yes under 20 carbs per day, not net. And again I refer you to doctor Fungs lecture series. I'm not under eating. The basic premise of keto is fat metabolism, not calorie restriction. The goal is to burn the hard to access fat stored on your body. Unless you are at your goal weight and you are metabolizing fat, you can't under eat. https://youtu.be/YpllomiDMX0
