[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its not just calories in and out. I actually eat more calories on Keto and occasional IF than I did before yet I have lost a ton of weight. When I was younger, I noticed that I would gain weight whenever I ate a bunch of potatoes or rice. I thought I was crazy but I definitely saw a pattern.

Insulin is a big factor in weight management. The problem now is that everyone has the wrong food pyramid stuck in their heads. Nutrionists are just parroting what they were taught 10-20 years ago and they aren't the brightest bulbs anyway. [/quote]

There is a different between legit fat gain and bloating. If I do a hard workout or eat more junk and carbs, yes the scale will be a little higher the next day, but that is not because I gained fat overnight from eating carbs. It's just because carbs can cause you to retain more water. If I cut all carbs from my diet today I would probably drop a few lbs pretty quickly, but again that is just water being release.

people who say X food causes them to gain weight are usually referring to the above- a weight measurement taken the day after eating such and such food. Which is not accurate.

I can also bet that keto is not the only thing that would cause you to lose weight. I could feed you a diet of all carbs and you'd still lose weight as long as you were in a calorie deficit. It seems that keto works for you and a way you find helpful to manage your calories, and that is great. if it works for you go for it. But if you started eating 4000 cal/day of keto food you would gain weight.
