    As a newly diagnosed diabetic of five month Keto has really been a life saver for me. It's strict yes but most of the stuff you can't eat I still can't have as a diabetic. Also the diet really helps with lowering my blood suger.

    I did keto plus calorie deficit and dropped 100lbs !!!! I ate a lot meat though and lots of fatty meats and cheese. HOWEVER I only ate twice for a day and that kept my cals low. You see as a man, your body burns around 1800 to 2000 calories a day doing nothing. I eat like at around 12pm basically lunch break at work is my first meal for the day is like a big burger "MINUS THE BREAD" to stay in keto so 670cals get's reduced to like 450 to 500cals. Oh so I don't eat breakfast, I just have coffee black and that's it which black coffee is like meh 15 or 20cals. Then at around 4:30pm I jog and bike for an hour that should loose you like 320cals there and me at work just breathing and doing daily moving around burns around 2,000cals and then at around 5 to 6 I eat a nice fatty meal (mainly steak) I love steak and eat it like all the time which is like 1,080cals but when you add that up, my cals are only like under 1500 for the day which is low and I basically supercharged my weight loss right there. My doctor even said I should eat like an extra 500cals somewhere in the day because she's worried that I'm starving myself, but I feel content and feel okay though so I don't know where I would fine the food to do that. I could care less for sugary things, I lost my sugar cravings. So 🤷🏽‍♂️.

    Problem with using the scale is you can't judge what is water weight loss. I don't care about the scale, I care about visual results & feeling energetic. The one factor we can all agree on is: eat less, move more. This was great tho, and you guys crack me up!

    • @Ayverie4
      @Ayverie4 Před 4 měsíci

      I had tremendous healing on Paleo. I went Paleo for healing - fatigue, chronic pain, thyroid issues, stomach issues, depression and anxiety. And incidentally, while having huge improvement in those, I lost 20 pounds. I was never trying to lose weight but my body just found its optimal spot at 120 lbs. I was shocked to find that out when I got pregnant and weighed myself for the first time. I also never had a depressive episode again after going Paleo.
      Now, I am post-3rd-baby and actually do need to lose weight. I went keto with little results, so now I am low carb + low calorie.

  • @TerriF124

    Calorie counting (and no junk food) with an app like My Net Diary is super easy and effective. I've lost over 25 pounds in 100 days. No fasting, no keto nonsense. The app also shows you daily totals for carbs, protein, and fats from each food you are eating so you stay in a balanced diet. When I'm at home I use kitchen scale to weigh my foods so I get an accurate count. You'd be surprised how much you have to eat to meet your calorie count, so long as its not junk food, oils, or breaded meats.

    • @TheBlindGuys

      Nice! Calorie counting isn't fun or exciting though. Keto is exciting imo.

    • @ifragisk
      @ifragisk Před rokem

      @@TheBlindGuys the problem with keto is that you are going to relapse. Whether it takes 7 days, 7 weeks, or 7 months, your body will have a revulsion and you will binge on carbs for a month. I know first hand. Then you try to carry on with Dr Berg fasting non sense, more yo-yo dieting, etc. After 2 years of that I ended up gaining 35 pounds and hadn't had a normal meal in ages. Finally getting myself back, as I said I have lost 25 pounds in 100 days with balanced dieting and light exercise. That's why I called Keto "nonsense," and I'm an expert in it after 2 years. Problem is it that its unsustainable long term.
