Anyone not on the keto diet.

I could not do Keto, I love my veggies and need my fiber , I tried it once years ago and It made me irritable and did not provide enough fiber . I do high fiber low fat whole foods for the most part and try to stay between 1200 and 1500 cal if I exercise alot I may eat back part of those cal up to 1800 . eating a volumetrics type diet , helps me stay satisfied and having much of the days foods be low sugar and low fat leaves me a chunck of calories for a snack or treat .

I love potatoes

Seems like everyone is on the keto diet. I did it and got great results but my liver enzymes, and cholesterol went through the roof. So I’m just counting calories. I’m not going crazy over counting but just the added effort of having to log everything I eat tends to help me lose weight and I’m working out of course. So the old decrease calorie and exercise is all I am going for. Any friends that are good with that and a little friendly messaging back and forth to stay motivated are welcome

Im not on keto either and I had the same issues you did. my liver enzymes went through the roof and my already high cholesterol went even higher. but I have familial hypercholesterolemia so thats why I had those issues. I improved my cholesterol with a low fat,low cholesterol,high fiber diet and for me I had this since I was thin just did not know it until a little while ago(I was misdiagnosed as just having high cholesterol),so for me that includes meds as well.

No keto here, I cake. Oh and I’ve lost 112lbs with just a calorie deficit, and still eating cake
