Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS) & KETO

Ketogenic Questions?
I have read several things about ketogenic eating, which is essentially a low card, high fat diet. Anyone had any success with this? Long term success?

Looking for your thoughts on a weigh loss suggestion?
I recently read somewhere..maybe a link from Pinterest..not too sure..that to shed weight a little more quickly you can eat really low cal for one or two days a week, then eat your regular intake the other days. Their suggestion was like 600-800 calories on the low days and 14-1600 the other days. Thoughts on this???

FitBit and TDEE
After having my FitBit for 3 days...I realized how little I do move and how low my TDEE really is. All of the calculators online had my BMR at 1600 or so, and my TDEE at 2500 or so. My max burn, assuming I can compare this to TDEE since it tracks my calorie burn all day and night (with no exercise) has been 1975. I am a…
