Ive noticed that everyone seems to be on keto and doing well. Ive done it and its not for me. I can't live with my occasional piece of toast or glass of wine. I guess what im look for are people who are have success with weightloss by just counting calories. ☺

I lost 100lbs twice (urgh) and more recently 31pds without paying much attention to carbs but rather overall calories
Some keys to eating and exercise success as far as I see it:
-Be mindful about what you shove in your face. Think about what you are goingto eat before you eat it. Ask yourself if it fits in your plan for the day. Oh yeah, have a plan.
- Don't restrict foods. If you want carbs, eat carbs. Be mindful about how it will affect your plan for the day/week/whatever.
- Log everything, every day.
- DON'T KILL YOURSELF IN THE GYM. Take your time, take it slow. Everyone wants instant results, but pushing it too hard and getting injured is a quick ticket to the "I quit" train.
Good luck! Enjoy some wine once in a while
Currently I’m just counting calories. I’ve lost 10 pounds my first month.
Lost 75 lbs 3 years ago by simply eating less and moving more and have been in maintenance ever since. Never cut out a single thing that I love. Just had smaller portions and made sure my macros were being met.
Maybe it works for some, but it's just another fad that will pass.
I'm not actually anti-Keto. I have read some positive things about it, even recently. I do think it might beneficial for some. It's just not for me. I think, honestly, it's the diet of choice for those that don't like to exercise and want the easiest path. I'd say 9 out of 10 I've seen on Keto also detest exercise. Bacon, Pork Rinds, heavy cream, etc. is appealing to many. At least they are giving up too much sugar, which is great.
