[quote=Anonymous]I did strict keto from around May to August of this year.  Lost a total of 10-12 pounds (went from 144ish to around 131/132).

For the first two weeks, I followed high-fat keto and didn't exercise.  After that, I followed the Ketogains approach (higher in protein, slightly lower fat, <25grams net carbs, mostly whole foods except for protein powder), lifted weights, no cardio.

I felt good on keto because I have always been sensitive to too many carbs.  Yes, just like any other diet, once you get off the diet, you tend to gain weight.

However, keto isn't magic - it's just another way of eating.  Ultimately it comes down to calories and once you get closer to your goal weight, the weight loss slows down unless you meticulously count your calories and make sure you eat below maintenance.  I still generally eat low carb, eat tons of vegetables, and once in a while eat something higher carb like tortillas, etc.  I'm maintaining, but it's because I'm counting my calories.    [/quote]
