[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I think a lot of people also do low carb and not really keto. I don’t track macros and can’t get enough fat unless I’m eating nut butter or something with mayo which isn’t everyday. I use olive oil or sesame oil and don’t really like butter. Low carb works for me. [/quote]

It is really easy to get enough fat, honestly, even if you don't specifically set out to eat high fat.

I mean, look up how much fat salmon has in it.

Half a fillet: 
412 calories
Fat: 27 grams
Sat fat: 6 grams
carbs: zero
fiber: zero
Proten 40 grams.

So already, you've had 27 grams of fat today (243 calories) and 40 grams of protein (160 calories).

Chicken is less fat

Chicken, one breast (140 grams ... I'm just using google here)
Calories: 231 
Fat: 5 g
sat fat 1.4 g
protein: 43 g

An avocado (146 grams)
Calories:234
Fat: 21 grams
carbs: 12 g
fiber: 10 grams
protein 2.9 grams

I'm doing low carb and not adding any special fats to my diet. 
Yesterday: 
19% carb
54% fat
27% protein

Tuesday:
18% carbs
37% fat
45% protein

Monday
18% carbs
51% fat
31% protein

Sunday
30% carbs
50% fat
20% protein.

I'm just eating regular food, except avoiding grains and excess fruit.
