You use carbs for fuel.

Use being the key word. You load up on carbs for use during working out.

If you dont use those carbs (properly), your body will simply store them as fat.

Yeah true, however as we see in Western world in about the last 50 or so years people going overboard with that now.

1 pound of fat = 3500 calories, so you have tons of energy TBH

I would argue more ppl are unhealthy due to the amount sugar and shyt they over eat haha

Breh if I lift on an empty stomach I'm gone legit die. I remember I did that a couple of times, ending up laying of the floor trying my best not to throw up.

Guess like with any form of diet, its what you can sustain and not some fad.

I know plenty of people been on Keto for years

If you read those studies, part of the reason these diets are hard to study to see how they effect the body in the long term, is because the average person does not stay on them, they are not able to. It is not sustainable for the average person. I know people that do XYZ, great, the average person is not staying on keto for life. The average person is overweight and does these type of diets for 5months to a year, loses the weight, and then goes back to eating the way they were before. In part, because they get sick of depriving themselves, hate what they're eating overtime, sick of seeing everyone else eat xyz, and so on. Again, it's not sustainable for the average person. But if your staying on this for life, good for you breh. Your better than most, that do this shyt for the short term, than are fatter then when they started a year later. :ld:

LOL

You get used to it trust me, do it all the time.

However for my leg days I do need to break my fast and eat, other than that I do IF and Keto on other days.

Carbs is energy. How nikkas out here pushing weight with no energy? All my lifts would fall horribly.

And then what about fruit? People out here skipping on fruit? No wonder so many are unhealthy.



All sugars aren't the same. Fructose (the sugar in fruit) won't spike your insulin like sucrose/glucose.

Depends on your goals though. You tryna shred? Or get some good strength gains

For me:
6:30 Black coffee and tea
7:00 15 minutes treadmill
11:00 100 gr chicken breast/lean meat, 100 gr cauliflower, 50 gr tofu with seasonings
12:00 A glass of coconut water
15:00 Apple, low fat yogurt, black coffee, tea
18:30 15 minutes treadmill
19:00 100 gr chicken breast/lean meat, 100 gr Broccoli, 4 egg whites with seasonings
No further meal until 11:00 next day.


I feel sorry for you. Some of that sounds fine, but god damn I can't imagine being that regimented every day of my life.:mjlol: That restriction and level of dedication to doing that and keeping it up--you said for five months now? Bless you.

I'm eating a piece cake in an hour, it's someone's birthday at the office. :yeshrug: One of my coworkers is on the diet and I see the sadness on her face when she can't eat in the moment. :mjcry:

Yeah I have read and listened to a lot of studies, Dr Jason Fung is god, but a lot of studies seem to lean towards a higher failure rate of people following the CICO solely, look up many of his studies and links to the reports - but the common one is the biggest loser reports, most never keep weight off.

But ultimately there is no 1 best diet, I just find for me Keto is sustainable and thats main thing.

I completely understand, however eating a bowl of oatmeal in the morning or quinoa with your dinner will not stall ones weight loss journey.


There's so many variables that go into that.

If you're active I wouldn't sweat it. If you're just trying to lose weight with diet alone then check the portions

I get it.

I tried this back when I was in my late teens/early twenties. I lost maybe 5-8 pounds at the most over 2 months period, following these diets. It could be, because I didn't really need to lose weight, but at the same time, I noticed that back then if I tried a diet that included carbs, I lost weight faster. I don't do diets anymore, but I guess, for some, certain diets work better than others. My body needs carbs.

True, but most gorge on Fruit daily as fructose doesn't stimulate satiety properly, and eat more and more and thats when the spike is high and stays high.

But yeah I have berries pretty much every day, usually break my fast on them.

I do keto and IF to maintain really, when summer comes I am more anal and calorie count to the gram
