> 3 months in, no sugar, no cravings
I did keto for a year and the sugar cravings never stopped. :-\
I let myself have a donut 3 months in, and everyone on keto always tells me that after a few months, if you eat something sweet, you'll find it disgustingly sweet. Nope. As I ate that apple fritter, I was like "Oh my god this is so delicious, I've missed sugar so bad"
In about 9 months, I had gone from 260 lbs to 205 lbs, but then COVID hit, I fell off the bandwagon, stopped going to the gym (I went to the one at the office), and very slowly rose back to the 250 lbs I am today. :-(
I still generally avoid high-carb foods like pasta and bread, rarely eat sweets, and will use low-carb alternatives when possible, but I'm certainly not keto anymore.
- matthewdgreen 4y agoThe "fall off the bandwagon" effect is huge. I find Keto to be one of the most tolerable long-term diets, but it is a long term diet. It's an unnatural restriction diet, and there is nothing at all durable about its effects.
- daxfohl 4y agoMine went away at three months and came back three months later. Plus my dentist said the acid reflux was damaging my teeth. So gave up keto and binged for a few months. Now trying going dairy-free, which feels more sustainable and eliminates most of the things I'd binge on but leaves a couple options for when cravings start. So far so good, but I'm only at the three months mark so....
