    I lasted about 12 days with full on keto, I didn't like it, I craved food with a crunch! I'm a type 1 diabetic so I'm cutting my carbs a bit to improve my blood sugar control and I do feel a load better for it. I've started losing steadily but I wanted a change in lifestyle. I want to be able to maintain this, eating well, be healthier, be fitter, lose weight and not feel deprived and dissatisfied with my food intake.

    Heck no! I have the inverse problem. So long as calories in stay below calories out, I'm losing weight. But because I have coronary artery disease, it's better to keep fat to a minimum. I'd like to keep fat to no more than 10% of calories. For me so far, that's been very hard to do.

    Most high end athletes (crossfit) or others are not on a Keto diet. But they do eat natural carbs (sweet potatoes, rice, quino) and not much processed food. Hard to do though.

    No keto here - I have enough food restrictions in my life with celiac without deliberately adding more. :o

    I eat less carbs. & more protein/fat to feel satiated and stay under my calorie goals. No keto, no-way, no-how!

    I have eaten very low carb / keto (25g net of carbs per day) for a stretch of time with no issues, but couldn't follow it into maintenance, when I started lifting. It just didn't work out, albeit I was enjoying it.

    That being said, I started to gradually re-introduce them and now looking at my diary I am somewhere in the 40/30/30 C/P/F macro range on lifting days, and 30/30/40 on non-lifting days. I do not tolerate a higher-carbohydrate diet all that well. So basically my main challenge right now is eating enough of these b*tards... and it takes some careful planning to do so! I hit protein breezing, and fat easily but there are days when I look at what's left for dinner and I'm like... okay, potatoes with a side of potatoes?
