With a vengeance.

If you lose weight with kept and then go back to usual, does it come back?

Keto for last few pounds, to get more lean for summer. Still trying to find what works best long term, I think it’s a mix of learning to listen to your body, portion control, and not depriving yourself.

"clean eating" + exercise, by far.

I've lost and maintained a 50+ weightloss for 5 years, by incorporating regular exercise, and cooking more - eating out less. Heavily plant based and tons of wholesome carbohydrates. Indulgences here and there, without guilt or setbacks.

I just can't buy into the idea that lots of meat and cheese is in any way healthy, though I know some people have success with rapid weightloss w/keto (many gain it back).

Mostly "clean eating" and mostly plant based, and working out 3-5x a week, helped me lose weight slowly, steadily, sustainably, and successfully maintained.

Which has worked best, sustainably, for you?

Please list any pros and cons you can think of!
