[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people lose that much per week with a keto diet. I'm steadily losing one pound per week, which is fine with me. You don't want to do any diet you can't stick to, or that wrecks your metabolism. I find that I feel better on a keto diet, which makes it easier to stick to for the long haul. Exercise, even just brisk walking after meals, will help the weight drop a little faster.[/quote]
Yep, keto is actually great. But I find it impossible to do if you have children or a fussy partner and busy life. [/quote]

I've been surprised that the keto substitutions work pretty well. Tonight we're having smash burgers; I'll have mine in a lettuce wrap with sugar-free ketchup. Tomorrow enchiladas, mine in baked in a separate pan using zero-carb tortillas. I'll make my usual pasta sauces, with regular pastas for DH and kids while I'll use egg white spaghetti for mine. Lots of egg dishes for breakfast, and snacks like olives and cheese on hand. It definitely gets monotonous but it's been surprisingly workable. I'd probably lose weight more quickly if I didn't use the 'frankenketo' carb substitutes (keto bagels, bread) but they keep me reasonably content and it's working well enough so far. I'm pre-diabetic, so need to view this as a permanent life style change. Trying to get to my birthday in late spring before enjoying a cheat day, then will immediately get back on the wagon.[/quote]
