Keto can be a good avenue for weight loss.
Whether it's a sustainable long term lifestyle in America IDK? I don't think it's something the average plebian American who's co-dependent on Taco Bell (see demolition man) can afford to properly do long term unless they overthrow their government of walmarts and supplement with rat and bug protiens.
I had avocado toast (340) and two 100 calorie cups of coffee for breakfast this morning and I've lost ~46 lb and it's going down still at 1.1 lb per week. And all I'm doing is restricting calories and eating healthy food with the occasional crazy Chinese food binge. But, even then it's healthier things on the menu like Moo Shu which comes in a vegetable variety and has a sorghum or rice based wrap. I feel like no matter what I wind up eating, even if it's out of dumpsters, I can maintain this.
I've hit a weight too now that I'm not constantly depressed and craving food and feeling malnurished as well. I could also easily go several days without eating without having a major metabolic emergency, because my liver is happy to kick in and do what it was evolved to do.
Tonight is sauerkraut and potatoes and leftover kielbasa from the deli. Saturday is delicious home made and gardened colcannon and corned beef. And when I wake up Monday I expect to see yet another lb gone.
Food Freedom is fucking good, and delicious.
Previously I've done 3 keto diets in my life, and attempted to do it while in the military. I failed and only managed to lose 15-25lb each time and became incredibly sick at high activity levels, causing me to quit. So I'm prejudiced ya. I prefer to feel good, AND lose weight.
