[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - thank you for those with helpful responses. There’s always gotta be one though 🙄

There’s been a lot of discussion in this board around low carb. So I was trying to figure out what most ppl meant. I feel like Keto is it’s own animal. But it sounds like a mix in the responses. 
 
I find keto specifically hard to sustain because it’s so easy to get knocked out of ketosis. Having fats constantly be the most consumed macro - over protein - isn’t always the easiest. I had the pee strips too and would watch this happen.

And to the pp above - I never said the diet “didn’t work.”  It for sure did. I lost weight. But I also like pineapple sometimes. So it’s not necessarily right for me. I also felt like Keto taught (me, personally) poor eating habits with it’s focus on high fats.

Kick started my diet reset with keto - under 25g of carbs for about 1 month and then slowly increased to under 50g for a couple of months….track everything and sure maybe carbs went over 50 once in a while but no higher than 75-80g.  I don’t eat oatmeal, bread, pasta, potatoes - sweet or regular, sugar, honey, bananas, rice, quinoa, cereal, baked goods, crackers, pretzels, and limited very sweet fruits like mango and pineapple.  I do eat lots of fresh organic vegetables, clean meats, fish, yogurt, cheese, nut butter and nuts.  I also stopped drinking dairy skim milk and use almond/coconut creamer in my coffee.  I feel much better, have lost 21 pounds and have tons of energy.  This is totally sustainable- I don’t have cravings.  Hope this helps…[/quote]

PP here….I also eat fresh fruits: berries, peaches, watermelon, apples for breakfast every day with Greek yogurt.  Also snack on fresh fruits but always with nuts or nut butter.[/quote]
