All weight loss is about a calorie deficit. Personally, I like carbs so I lose weight while eating those.46

CICO is amazing. Glad whatever you are doing is working for you, though.31 -
Umm...ok. Not amazed if you have a deficit...keto is one way to do it - although it takes very little chocolate to reach your carb limit....20

You can eat those things, and also eat carbs, and still lose weight. I've lost over 30 pounds eating carbs... and pizza and burgers and wings and all these other things I enjoy. In moderation and not as frequently as I was when I wasn't losing weight, but I can still enjoy them and fit them in.
If Keto helps you control your appetite, then that is great. However it doesn't have any special weight loss powers. Losing weight is all about a calorie deficit.26 -
I'm doing the same thing, just not eating keto. Well ok, I don't eat a lot of kebab now because getting that in the US is sadly difficulty, but I eat chicken shawarma on a pretty frequent basis. There are also a shocking number of cookies in my dietI'm losing weight by eating chocolate and kebab meat.

You’re losing weight because you are in a calorie deficit. You can eat literally anything and lose weight as long as you’re in a calorie deficit.18

About to say the same thing. I thought chocolate was a no no on keto.4 -
I'm just wondering how chocolate is keto? It would seem to me that more than the tiniest amount of chocolate would eat up your carb limit.3

I occasionally incorporate 100% cacao in my Keto diet. The chocolate itself isn't terribly high carb, it's the sugar that generally puts most "chocolate candy" into the no-for-Keto category.3 -

Glad it’s working for you. Keto isn’t popular on these MFP streets so, just a heads up lol.28 -

That must be quite bitter...I don't think I'd call it chocolate either.9 -

I think keto is quite popular here. It's the "eat as much as you want and lose weight" that's commonly pushed that's not so popular.26 -

Keto isn't unpopular, only claims that it's necessary or superior.
Glad you are enjoying it, OP. I'm a fan of Chocolove 88%, which has 6 g net carbs in a serving (180 cal, 1/3 of a big bar). I suppose that would be something that one could fit in on keto regularly. I tried keto and liked it okay, but for me there were no major positives and I felt frustrated trying to get in all the veg I like to eat and missed fruit and legumes. But I can totally see why it could feel indulgent and enjoyable, especially if one saw other forms of dieting as deprivation (you can eat chocolate and kebabs on other plans too, of course, but I think you are doing well to find a way of eating you like).22 -
I'm glad you found a way of eating that puts you in a calorie deficit without feeling like you would be deprived. I would feel deprived on keto, so it doesn't work for me, but there are many different ways of eating that work for weight loss, so no one way is the right way. People only get frustrated at keto because some think it has magical properties that would allow you to lose weight while not being in a deficit, but it doesn't. It just feels that way because it's a way of eating that satisfies you while allowing you to be in a deficit.16

Folk can knock keto all they want.some just don't like it when something other than CICO works, I can have bacon, fried eggs etc etc loads of mince with spices and chicken and veg a plenty ...no weighing etc and still the weight comes off you and you get thinner .its magic53

It is absolutely chocolate, it just isn't "chocolate candy". It is definitely an acquired taste, but I actually quite enjoy it. Once I eliminated most sugar from my diet, it seems as though everything has become sweeter. I will occasionally melt the chocolate down and then cut with some coconut oil and some stevia if I feel like I need something more candy-like, but I don't do that often. One of my favorite Keto sweet-treats is chocolate covered strawberries. I use the 100% cacao and the strawberries in and of themselves have enough sweetness for it all. And generally just 1 or 2 large strawberries does the trick for me.7
