Those of us in the Keto community (who have our heads screwed on straight at least) willingly admit this.
I have seen people try high fat ultra low carb diets and fail badly despite following all best practices. I have also seen the exact same diet completely turn lives around restore hope to people.
There is a lot we do not know about nutrition yet. Why some people respond to certain diets and not others is one of those large unknowns.
- beachstartup 12y agowhat were the details of the failures? i'm doing keto right now and steadily losing weight.
- com2kid 12y ago> what were the details of the failures? I had a friend who, after 3 weeks, never got over the keto flu. He didn't lose any weight, was constantly sick and ill, and just had no luck on Keto at all. It was his second time trying it, he had the same experience on his previous try as well. His Macros were spot on, and he was doing everything right, he just felt awful. I've read anecdotal reports of other people having similar problems, though since they aren't first hand I cannot personally speak as to the accuracy of their experiences.
- AnonymousGriper 12y agoThis seems to be one of the few failing points in keto: failing in keto-adaptation rather than getting through keto-adaptation and then failing to derive benefits medium or long-term. It would be great to have more data points on why people fail to keto-adapt (gall bladder dysfunction? other metabolic disorders?)
