All i want to say, is that…a fad or useless diet or meal plan would NEVER create well over 100 podcasts, a forum, keto fests…stable science…not to mention @richard results, as well as Carl’s results.( and many more)
I mean, i never see threads about ANY SCIENCE and long term RESULTS except with keto!
Who wants to post and inform endlessly about Dukan, Weight Watchers, any fads! Hey, even juice fasts!
You know what I mean?

Not sure popularity is a good metric on which to judge efficacy, TBH.


#3

exactly my point!


#5

Yes, its a lifestyle, not a quick fix diet.


#6

“Keto” isn’t a lifestyle or a diet. Its a physiological state.
A state that can be reached a myriad of ways, including diet, exercise, fasting, sickness…

I don’t do this anymore, because I am sick of the idiots, but i found;

When posting before and after photos on facebook, and receiving responses like omg what did you do? do you have a meal plan you could share? etc etc etc

My formal response would always be “A complete lifestyle over haul, keto is not a quick fix, it’s a lifestyle change, you have to be prepared to change your mindset in regards to food and exercise”

No one was interested after that.
The only thing they are interested in is the QUICK FIX!@ and for YOU to do all of the hard work for THEM.
Fuck that.
I can’t talk to keto beginners anymore, they just don’t get it. I will happily help someone who’s 5 months deep and is lost for advice because I know they’ve actually stuck to it, not someone who’s within the first week and is posting ‘can i eat this/that/this and that’ without actually doing any research.

I will never leave Keto. :smiley:

I Totally understand. I’ve talked to a few people but they just kind of glaze over if you know what I mean!
They’re just so steeped in brainwash that I could go as far as saying look up Ketogenic, but to explain about it ??? I’m getting to the point where The information is landing on deaf ears.
I do not have to save the world I’m intrested in saving myself. I’m now 2 and a 1/2 months in.
I’ve had a few cheat days and it’s just not worth it. I plan to try to be better starting today. Un-neto Keto is ridiculous-o!
