That sounds good but I think it's what you weigh in, say, 5 years time that really counts. Your brain will by then have fully learnt the new diet and it may not satisfy to the extent that it currently does. The glamour will have worn off and you'll have been tempted many times to rejoin the prevailing carbohydrate culture, if only to appease a cake-baking relative.
- narag 6y agoNo, that's not what happens. I have a long story fighting my metabolism. It's just not possible for me to eat like people around me and not get fat, except in periods where I've been very physically active, as in heavy exercise dayly. In my twenties I did the diet three times, alternating with sports, last time for two years. Later the problem was eating in restaurants for work. Eventually I regained control without the need of a diet... until a couple of years ago. Nothing worked and it seemed like I was going to lose the final battle. A relentless weight gain, even with very limited calories intake. So I decided to try again keto in March, that I had not done in a decade. For me it's not a problem to keep relatives or acquitances from tempting me. I did learn the key phrases to shut the allegedly well meaning people that offers sugar. It's funny how the most frequent question is: why a diet? You're not fat. People are used to diets that don't work. Now the only trick is to prepare meals at home. In any case, I don't plan to be doing a diet forever. Just some months more to lose a little more, then exercising more often to keep the weight.
