Not unstainable at all, people lives are not black and white in the real world. Unlike the world you live in which seems to be little more than typing away on this forum. My old bad habits involved carbs and not watching calories - a bad habit that saw me gain around 93 pounds and keep it on for ten years. I have proven to…

I just realised too - over 6000 posts and you've only lost 14lbs? As for your post count, I think you might need to step away from the computer and get some exercise. And furthermore, unless you've lost that 14 lbs very recently, I think you need to stop trying to shoot everyone else down and start doing a little more…

Actually, I did prove my point, not yours. You say that me going off Keto means it wasnt sustainable for me. It actually is. It was me just reverting to old bad habits, but I hardly need to justify myself to you. I have proven to myself that everything that is said about Keto and weight loss is true. It is simply the…

It was 'so effective' that I lost 66lbs on keto. I went OFF it and regained, and now have to lose what I had left to lose plus what I re-gained eating carbs. So, yes, it was "so effective" for me. Let me know what your experience on keto is, it doesnt sound like you've ever tried it. Many many people report that they were…

If that's what works for you good luck to you. My experience has always been that I will lose weight on a calorie deficit, but no where near as consistently and efficiently as when I cut carbs.

If by a 'standard' caloric deficit you mean I eat sugary food all day but keep it to a set calorie deficit, you would not necessarily lose weight as effeciently. Ketosis means your body is burning fat for fuel. If you are carb loading, even though you are keeping your calories down, your body is burning through all of the…

Oh that's great to read. I have that bottom one that kind of hangs over a bit. So it really can go away and go flat again in that part??

I do it too. I have gotten my ribs back. For a long time when I was lying down I couldnt feel my ribs under the thick layer of fat...now I can feel them again, and keep feeling and checking. I like it.

Ah, yes it will help you lose more fat...

Agree. I am 5'5" / 5' 6" depending on the day and who measures me it seems...and for me my ideal is 52kg which for Americans is around 114lb. I start to feel uncomfortable when my weight is over 60kg (122). I got down to 63kg (132lb) in July, but have now regained - due to wintertime eating, stress and generally being…

I think you need to shred the fat, then focus on muscle building. The fat wont go unless it's burnt, you can't turn fat into muscle. It needs to be lost.

I forgot to add - a 'friend' at work called me "skinny *****" one day - and this was after the crap comments like this had started - I was very very depressed when I was overweight so imagine how happy I am to lose the weight and hence how sick of hearing skinny ***** I am. I said to her, "I'm not skinny for a start, I'm…
