Any thoughts or opinions on the Keto diet? I've been doing it for a week now, and I seem to be losing weight.
For those who don't know, the Keto diet is all about reducing your carb and sugar intake and replacing it with fat intake to replace the missing energy. Thus, your body starts producing ketones so you use fat as energy rather than carbs and sugars. The first few days are brutal and you feel like shit because your body isn't used to no carbs, but after that you feel fine.
Pic unrelated, it's the only picture of food I had.
Interesting video, I like it. Yeah, the keto diet is based on human biology, you just have to think what we ate back before the Industrial Revolution.

I am two weeks in and my stomach is still hurting. I think it's working but I am not sure if I am just losing the bloatiness that you get from carbs. I am thinking of having a cheat meal once a week.

The brain can only utilize glucose. Enjoy being a brainlet.

Its a meme. Its that simple.
If there was a diet that allowed you to lose more than 10kg (which is what you'll lose in water weight doing keto) simply by not eating carbs and eating shit food that is smothered in fat - everyone would do it. It was designed by doctors to combat things such as epilepsy and diabetes.
Your energy levels will be depleted and they won't return to their normal state during ketosis, the truth is your body just adjusts to having such little energy instead. It can and WILL fuck your internals if you do it for too long.
I did keto for 3 months and lost roughly 10kg and looked little to no different because it was all water weight, my energy levels were fucked and I was consistently getting ill and shitting fat broth.
I then got off keto, did some dieting and exercising and lost 30kg in a year and look much better because it wasn't just water weight.
Stop falling for the meme and get on a treadmill you fatty.
