fyi, if you're interested in losing weight using this approach the /r/keto subreddit is quite good and very encouraging.
I won't say its for everyone, but it certainly worked for me, and after getting over the initial hump I felt better than I ever had. Huge amounts of energy, feeling great after 4 hours of sleep, brain feeling like I was grasping concepts and finding solutions quicker.
- ericb 12y agoI've lost 20 pounds following that approach without being hungry. I noticed /r/keto was FILLED with success pics--and I mean 150 lbs. lost type success pics. And the difference, compared to other diet subreddits was that the success pic posts did not say "...and I had bariatric surgery" which is amazing to me.
- cschmidt 12y agoIt is a good resource. The FAQ is very useful for "what should I do". The /r/ketoscience/ subreddit has lots of studies like the OP.
- tomp 12y agoAnytime I read about keto diet, I read that there's much less of the "short-term" energy, e.g. you can't sprint as much (but long runs are ok). Did you experience that as well, or was it uniformly high-energy?
- dpeck 12y agoI'd say thats probably true, but likely has more to do with training than diet. I would do intervals of walking/running while pushing my son in his stroller and have no problem with it, even while quite overweight and never being a runner. I shocked myself the first time I did 3 miles without really thinking about it or feeling very winded.
