I started using Claude sonnet to generate a different ketogenic recipe everyday. I lost 15kg in 2 months and basically feel satiated throughout the day. Benefits also on level of energy and focus.
- Quarrel 2y ago15kg in 2 months is silly levels of loss. I hope you were very very overweight. 1kg of fat is 7,700 kcals. To lose 2kg a week for 8 weeks you need to find a deficit of 2,200 kcals per day the entire time. A large inactive man will have roughly a basal metabolic rate of ~2,200 kcals per day, so you need a deficit of your BMR per day to be losing this level of weight. This is very very hard to do. Do not try this at home. Do not try this on your own.
- imoverclocked 2y agoYes, however, there can be significant water loss in the initial stages of a ketogenic diet. It’s not all fat that you are initially losing.
- Quarrel 2y agoSure, you drop heaps of sodium if you aren't careful and lose 1-3kg of associated water. It is one of the reasons it hooks people. Two months of weight loss is a different ballpark.
- imoverclocked 2y agoI think you are making a lot of assumptions here. Eg: It’s common for a ~200 lb male to lose 10 lbs (90 kg male to lose 4.5kg) of water weight in the first week or two. We don’t know anything else about OPs claim of weight loss over two months. We don’t know rate, overall starting point, level of activity, etc. This speaks more to the claim being ill-defined than of being a dangerous quantity.
