Linda Kern have you stayed at a certain weight and got stuck there... because its been a month for me and I have only lost 10lbs since 6/8/20.

[@Aelea]

I lost ~60lbs in 4 months. It was... insane. [Edit: Oh and I did 16g carbs a day. All used on butter-drenched broccoli, or popping a few almonds. If I needed a cheat, I ate a few bites of cheese cake maybe on the weekend; and right before bed, had a few teaspoons of the fattiest whipped cream so I had those cuddly feels.) Never exceeded 20g carbs. Most days, 8-16g.

[@ashlynyorel6930]

Just out of curiosity, was her hair shedding or fell out?

[@Aelea]

@@ashlynyorel6930 Mine? No. The opposite happened. My hair had been falling out before (I now blame my former vegitarian life style). It suddenly became glossier- probably from all of the oils. Skin looked younger too, probably because of the plumping up with oils and water (as you also become thirsty for water again and become super hydrated which also reduces wrinkles). I discovered later from my doctor that eating only carbs would make your skin cells release? She said, "your skin would slough off - there's no way you can live on no meat products." Which finally explained why I was bruising so easily, and any scabs wouldn't heal, etc. Ive had avid vegitarians chastise me that I should have been taking oil pills and supplements- but my body wouldn't even absorb the B12 injections my neurologist was giving me. Dude I even lost my period for two years. The Drs thought I was anemic. Finally, when my dad was diagnosed with cancer he started keto (because it apparently starves cancerous tumors - cancer tumors grows on carbs according to his drs at Johns Hopkins)... and so I supported him by preparing and consuming the same meals. We both noticed we were losing water weight, body fat, and generally felt generally better. All of my problems seemed to disappear - and his tumors never returned (he's now in his 70's and is cancer free)

I find it’s best not to tell people that you’re starting a new diet. It’s best to go on the diet and keep it to yourself. When people notice a serious change in you and then you can say yeah I’m on this diet. Give them more information if they are positive. For so many people when they hear someone is trying a new diet it hits their own ego.

[@DarkestDeeds]

It's not "their" 20 net carbs. It's the average recommendation. Most people won't reliably go 20 grams or less total carbs. And, the majority of the population going to 20g net or less will be making a drastic difference. Even not going that far but including regular fasting will give similar benefits.

@Gigi I am a vegetarian, so most of my diet is vegetables, nuts, dairy and eggs and sometimes a measured amount of pulses. I have found that there is a wide variety of recipes to try, I don't feel limited in any way. There is a keto replacement for almost all kinds of regular carb foods. For instance, keto bread for regular bread, using lettuce for wraps or making keto flatbreads with coconut flour or almond flour, cauliflower rice for regular rice/pizza, zucchini for pasta (There are other great options that can be bought, like edamame pasta) and so on. My main sources of fat are coconut oil, olive oil, butter, full fat dairy, cheese and nuts. Things I completely avoid are sugar, processed carbs & PUFA oils. I generally don't use any other sweeteners like stevia either because I'm insulin resistant (I have PCOS) and I don't want to trigger insulin. My net carbs per day averages between 20-40 grams. Hope this helps :)

I do daily intermittent fasting 16/8 and a sat-sun 24. I do exercise most days for about an hour. I eat low-carb, but I am finding it difficult to keep track of the carbs I eat. I just make sure that the foods I eat contain the lowest carbs possible. Though I was not overweight when I started, I have lost about 10lbs, from 128 to 118lbs (I do not want to lose too much). My goal is to be pre-diabetes-free in my next lab test. I calculate and think that I do not eat more than 30 or 40 carbs daily. Actually, I have never been a heavy eater and have avoided processes and sugar-loaded foods and drinks. However, diabetes runs in my family, and I was eating some of the carb foods like potatoes, bananas, rice/beans, bread almost daily (I grew up eating), but I also skipped meals daily, related to the demands of the work, so no problems with fasting here. I do not know if I am in ketosis or not, and I do not care that much. Focusing too much on a named diet will take too much thinking on my part. One thing I know for sure is that I am more energetic, I sleep better, and have not had too much acid reflux anymore, which for me is good enough. Wishing all good luck with diet and good health!

Started going towards keto two days ago. Yesterday did well with about 60g digestible carbs (adds up so so fast!), today I'm aiming at 40g and eventually 20-35g/d stable. Already detecting trace ketones (up to 1.5 mmol/L) in urine, which is curious to me. Not even aiming primarily at weight loss, just want a clear head and to stop eating sugar. Cauliflower and ground beef with taco spices, fried eggs, avocados and MCT oil shaken into tea/coffee/cacao with the help of cream (dairy/coconut) are just awesome. I still crave Greek yogurt with a holiday dip mix to top everything.

Something important is missing from this discussion: CARB ADDICTION. Unlike protein or fat, carbs are not really satisfying, and it's very easy to overeat them because the body is still hungry. They also seem to trigger a desire for more of the same. For those of us with "moderation" issues, no carbs is better than low carbs. And no carbs requires no counting.

No carbs is literally dumb. The reason u crave more carbs is because you’re eating refine processed carbs. They’re stripped of the fiber that keeps u full. Most people who eat carbs are not eating whole based plant foods. It’s quite funny that ppl don’t start eating them until they go keto because the diet literally forces you to eat them. Before you were eating breads, pasta and cookies. Now you’re eating broccoli, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, nuts and berries. Stop blaming carbs. Carbs isn’t the issue. Eating processed carbs are. Keto is definitely a gateway to eat “healthier” but it’s not sustainable for a lifetime.

@@JBSCORNERL8 some people have very good reasons for cutting out the kind of carbs you assume to be healthy for everyone. See: lectins, oxalates, and goitrogens.

25 grams is a sweet spot occasionally less or more that is 10 on low end 35 on high end Try to maintain in the range but if one day in a month you hit 50 or 60 don’t panic just move back down . After major surgery I upped it to 35 As I had been running a heart rate of 120 for days and very little food so I craved just a bit more carbs for a few days that’s ok , the goal is balance over the long run slow and steady weight loss for instance will let you change your whole life style for lifetime sustainability.

I think this answers things for me. I weigh 195 and I'm active. I have some belly fat. I eat 5 meals per day (6a, 9a, noon, 3p, 6p) each meal ~500 calories. My goal is to noticeably burn some belly fat, though the weight itself doesn't bother me. I drink water and black coffee only... no sweeteners ever. Hoping to simply swap out 3 or 4 of my meals for just meat and cheese then see what happens. Dinner will still have green & red fruits & vegetables.

I have to take antibiotics for an eye condition (rosacea),but it messed up my stomach so I stopped and immediately got an UTI (twice!). I found that while on the antibiotic it was SO HARD to get & then stay in Ketosis (Low!), but when I stopped taking them it was easy! Can you talk a bit about how antibiotics can influence ketosis please? I’d REALLY appreciate it! And I BET there’s a bunch of people like me that are taking antibiotics and are having issues getting into or staying in ketosis while on them. And one last thing, if we HAVE to take antibiotics is there something we can do to help mitigate the effects on ketosis? P.S. D-Mannose was tried for the UTI but it dropped me out of ketosis WITHOUT raising my glucose levels! How is this even possible?! Thanks for reading this, hope it motivates you to make a video on these topics! 👍🤞

[@dietdoctor]

Antibiotics can affect blood sugar which is why so many people experience increased hunger while on antibiotics. The benefits of the medicine outweigh the negatives. Many people find it helpful to keep carbs as low as possible and fight the increased hunger with protein and fat rather than carb heavy comfort foods. --Kristin

I use carb manager to track my macros. If I have for example 40gr of net carbs and I go jogging and walk for a couple of hours, then it results that I've had only a very few net carbs. Is it correct? Which ones do I have to consider? The ones without the exercises or with? Thanks

[@dietdoctor]

We don't recommend negating carbs through exercise. If you eat 40g net carbs, it counts as 40g net carbs. --Kristin

[@STOPPOLICECORRUPTION]

Appreciate these numbers. Just wondering if you stay in Ketosis .... with 20 - 50 carbs a day, is there a benefit to fast over 36 hours ?

[@rogerscheuermann4409]

First, I really like the Diet Dr. Information and website. Question? I am 67 years young and I normally walk approximately 4-5 miles 4-5 times per week , pretty active. Golf, fishing, working in the yard, plenty of energy. I also do intermediate fasting, 16-8 but I cannot seem to lose that 5 lbs around my belly. Any suggestions? I have been on Keto for several years and lost over 30 lbs and maintaining. Do you think I am eating to much food/calories? Please advise or share a few videos with me. Thanks R.

I suggest changing habits a bit...once you are too structural in low carb and IF, the body reacts to being less effective in fat burning as it "knows" that the stavation period comes every day. ..

Ok so today is October 13th, 2020 to date this comment. I’ve done keto a few times, anywhere from a few day’s to a month or two. I started getting back in keto a couple weeks ago, with some off day’s with baby showers and birthday party’s. Now I’m strict keto. How many of you have gotten the “keto lecture” from friends and family? You know the one that says something like “oh that can’t be safe/good for you, you don’t need to do that, why don’t you do this instead?” Or something along those lines. My advice is to quietly do keto yourself and have your own little victories as you hit goals, enjoy the many awesome keto foods and meals, enjoy the benefits and communicate with other keto lifestyles online if you want. I think that other people are sometimes the biggest obstacles or greatest resistance to you doing keto. Show them your blood test results after you’ve been on it for some time :)

[@DJmisterpeluca]

A year and a half on keto and IF. I'm pretty sure my limit is 50g per day, it's way easy to mantain sugar below that while doing OMAD.

Intermittent fasting is a good way as it will help you to stay away from food for a specific time. Easy to turn on your ketosis mode. 💪

I'm 5'10" 145lb and I eat pretty high fat diet with protein, with my observation I notice I need to increase my carbs from 20 to atleast 50 because before it was just too hard to maintain weight (I was losing weight) and the reason is because I also combine keto with I intermediate fasting 16:8 and 18:8 and once a month 24h fasts. On top of I play volleyball that puts some cardio reps on my body. I think I want to stay at 150lb so will see if I'll get there

I started a diet a few days ago 3 days or so... i stopped eating rice and eat only vegetables and meat i dont eat breakfast or lunch i usually eat only twice a day and i go jog for 6.6km a day ive been eating yogurt cheese nuts and so some shakes for breakfast but im not really sure about the portion can I ask if im doing it right??? I mean ive been eating lower than 50g carbs since im active nowdays. Im not really sure about the portions. Does anyone have any advice for a portion size for breakfast lunch and dinner if possible Edit: I eat around 1300-1500 or less calories a day I dont go over 2000

That is going to vary as the amount of fat needed varies from person to person. If you aren't seeing the success you would like, you may try adjusting what you're eating.

@@thanoschristopoulos7718 the simplest and most powerful (but perhaps most difficult for typical westerners) is cutting out *all processed foods, grains and fruits.* You get meat (any meat, including fish), you get vegetables (we can include low sugar fruits like tomatoes, olives, and Avocados here) you get nuts and you get fats (butter, sour cream, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Tallow, Lard etc. No seed oils) and *that is it.* High Carb Vegetables to avoid: Potato, Corn and Sweet Potato. Moderately High Carb Vegetables to limit: Winter Squash, Jicama, Onion/Shallots (green onions are fine), Tomatoes. When you eat nuts, don't eat large portions of Cashews or Pistachios because they're comparatively high in carbs.

I am diabetic and overweight ( currently taking Metformin ) so i have been researching low carb diets such as Keto and even the more extreme carnivore diet and i am getting conflicting opinions? for example i read that too much protein is actually bad for you because it gets converted to sugars and can even lead to kidney/liver issues and yet almost all the meals i see advertised for a keto diet contain beef, chicken, fish and eggs, all high protein foods!!! the main thing i need to do is reduce carbs and sugars but what is the proper ratio for someone in my position with diabetes. Low or high protein, low or high fat? and should i fast periodically? Is there a danger that i could do more harm than good changing my diet so dramatically?

I just tested this morning empty stomach and blood sugar was 80-84 (less if fasting) which is normal for ketosis but ketone was 7.2 is that a good thing, or too high?

I eat keto, and I am Type 2 diabetic, but also have hypothyroidism. I take NP thyroid, but I read that one of the side affects of it is to raise blood sugar. It doesn't seem to matter how strict I am I still can't seem to get into ketosis, at least not for long. Have you heard of this before?

[@dietdoctor]

Your best bet to see if this is what is causing your trouble is to check your blood sugar.

Do you keep burning body fat right after eating as long as you are in ketosis?

So I wasn't trying to do Keto per say, just to eat mostly fiber and protein to restrict calories. That's been going well so well in fact that I can have 1,200-1,300 and sleep 8 hours. The thing is I need a little bit more calories so I don't have heart flutters and feel weak af work. Long story short I had a week bouncing from 1400-1700 calories and eating

[@petecoventry6858]

So when I did the blood sugar diet it was just under 25g per day and 200g of protein and 800cal.. So if I just do what I did but just leave out carbs - that's going to work too? I have to lose weight or I am going to die by the time I am 50 (I am 44) I am type 2 diet controlled anyway
