How to eat:

DON’T EAT CRAP

You can eat olive oil on Keto. In fact, it's recommended.

Keto is about putting and keeping your metabolism in ketosis, fat burning mode. That means eliminating carbs or keeping them very low. You also don't eat too much protein or it will be converted to carbs. Most of your calories would come from fat, which does not spike insulin. The rest come from protein, which has only a modest affect on insulin.

Keto works if you can stick to it. I did for a few years, but fell off it. I wouldn't call it a fad diet as it has been around, although perhaps not by name, for at least half a century.

Keto reverses insulin resistance by giving your cells ample time to downregulate the insulin receptors on their membranes. It also causes weight loss. The hard part is maintaining it. You don't actually need carbs as their is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. However, it's hard to make or buy meals without them. How many steaks can you eat?

Losing weight to get down to a healthy BMI is always a good idea if you are overweight, keto is effective if done right and consistently but only until you hit your target weight, and yes you must have that.

What works for me is a diverse diet low on carbs and no sugar whatsoever.

It worked really well for me, but wasn't sustainable. Month 4 was so irritable and also lost muscle mass. Pass.

Keto can be good for some people. Especially those with food allergies. As a weight loss program, I'm still not sold on it being the best option.

However, the bigger problem is eating processed foods. When I was dating a nutritionist, we had 0 processed food in the house, so I got an easy lesson on how to pull it off. Not even a single bottle of salad dressing. When making supper, we would just make enough for 2 meals and freeze the other half for lunches later on. Freezer was literally full of ready to go home cooked meals. Homemade stocks, the whole 9 yards.

I still eat pizza once a month but I make my own, including the dough. It's the easiest dough you can make, btw.

Ketos and vegans are for gays and women

I tried it but didn’t really care for it long term. I mostly just eat healthy bland foods

150/90 to 120/80 without meds in 2 weeks. That is good enough to me.

Do it. I did it after my break up from my ex back in mid to late December. I went from 277 to 228. Look up the 21 day keto reset diet and follow the book.

You need to do a little more research into it, maybe go to youtube and watch a video on it. Sounds like you are repeating second hand information from people who haven't tried the diet.

The general keto is "low carb, low fat", its that simple and there are are less rules than you are thinking.

You can have berries as long as you limit carbs below a certain level, you can have nuts, you can have olive oil. I've been doing keto off and on for a few years to lose the holiday pounds and have had great success.

I recommend eating healthy (which I guess is the opposite of Keto?). Avoid the bad things: Sugar, Processed food, etc; basically Paleo. Other than that, eat what you want

Keto works but the problem arises when you lose a considerable amount of weight. It becomes difficult to transition to a normal diet. You can't keep eating fat rich food for your entire life.

Remember at the end of the day the only thing that works is calories in vs calories out. You need to be eating less than your daily maintenance calories to keep losing weight. Keto works because you can't binge on high fat foods with low carbs so you are basically restricting your calories.

My advise is to look up a calorie maintenance calculator, then use myfitnesspal to track in your daily calories. A deficit of around 400 to 500 calories for a couple of months should do the trick for you. You can follow any diet - keto, low carb, vegan etc. All diets work if you eat below your maintenance calories just make sure the diet you follow should be enjoyable so that you can adhere to it for a considerable period of time. I sticked to a low carb diet and lost over 20 kgs (Over 45 lbs) and have managed to keep it off for over 4 years.
