Where did you come up with too much fat? I don't see where the OP listed her macro percentages. OP, hit your protein and fat minimums, and fill in the rest with carbs, such that you remain in a manageable caloric deficit (10-20% below TDEE), and you will happily lose weight.

Not even sure where to begin with this one. Clean, bad foods, junk, low fat. Just need one more for the MFP bingo card!

Tighten up your tracking and logging first. If you aren't accurate with monitoring what you eat, it becomes difficult to ensure a deficit. Once you have the basics down, and you wish to add in low-carb for whatever reason, then go ahead. Unless of course you have a medical reason to reduce your carb consumption. If you eat…

The only thing it works at is lining the pockets of those who sell it.

+1 for accidental calorie deficit. Is "clean eating" a healthier way to get fat if CI>CO?

What happens on day 6?

Bateing is always better than baiting

What is your exercise like? I plugged in your stats, and the only way I can force it to a target close to 1300 calories is to put you as sendentary with 0 exercise. Generally speaking, you want your calorie goal to be no more than 20% less that your TDEE. Are you selecting your target based on TDEE or BMR? If you are…

Black coffee is the only real way to drink it anyway. :)

So long as you understand that its the caloric deficit created by "this kind of plan", and not low-carb doing anything special, that caused you to lose weight.

That suggests a healthy average daily caloric intake for you for weight loss is 1900. Your caloric deficit is nearly double that which is suggested (almost 40% below TDEE). I suggest your reconsider your deficit, especially if you have any intention at all in retaining muscle mass.

Here's a novel idea.....post the research? You know, so we all can see it. You are not well versed on how to present information are you?

I like this calculator myself: http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/

Have you calculated your TDEE? You state "and will work out to keep from losing my muscle mass", but chances are really good that at an average or 11000 calories per week, as a male, you are losing muscle mass.

Why to the bolded? You can have low cal and high carb, and you can have high cal and low carb, and you can have low cal and low carb. By stating "or", it's a little confusing what advice you are looking for.

What is your total weekly caloric intake? And how does that compare to your TDEE?

More info is helpful, unless you are just venting. What is your age and height? How many calories are you consuming? How sure are you about your intake (how to you measure your food?) How active are you?

What is it that caused you to take this approach, and what are you hoping to gain from it? Since you are still researching, there are many here that can give you good advice and knowledge if they know more about your objectives.

I know little of keto diet specifically, but am always interested in learning things. Many here are very pleased with their decision, so I figure this is a good place to ask a question I have been curious about. I assume in a true keto diet one cannot meet suggested fiber intake. For those who go keto, does this not…

Many here do not track sugar specifically for this exact reason. If your protein/fat/carb targets are being met, and you are hitting your calorie target, you will be just fine. Unless you have a medical reason to track sugar specifically, don't worry about that little red number on your tracker, so long as everything else…

I for one see more value in learning and knowledge, than giving blind support for any particular way of eating. Whether it is moderation, IIFYM, low-carb, or keto if the person can't describe why it is they have chosen to do what they do, they may not understand the basics of CICO, and may believe their choice is "better"…

Sales of certain books support your statement

Cosign. When evidence provided doesn't support the claim being made, the claimant is either desperately seeking validation, does not understand the information, or chooses not to learn. All 3 bad for acquiring knowledge.

Huh???

Exactly. Noone cares about your google-fu skills. If you are going to present information into a conversation, be prepared to discuss said information. Otherwise, your contribution is worthless.

Your baiting skills need work

We all wouldn't be arguing here if the johnson enhancing supplements worked. Be too busy.

If 3 of 10 who come here have unkown carb issues, and someone suggests limiting carbs to all the folks who ask, one is giving inaccurate advice to 70% of those who are asking.

You didn't put on the weight quickly, you won't lose it quickly. Often times the simple solution is the easiest. Don't clutter your brain with outliers. Consume less than you expend, while eating a balanced and varied diet and you will be healthy, happy, and will progressively drop pounds. It really is that easy.
