Can we talk about the keto diet?

Seriously. This is all I've been hearing about at ever stupid xmas dinner I've attended. It's like a competition.sizzld1 said:Just ask anyone you know who is on it. They seem to love talking about their diet almost as much as vegans.
take it up a notch and tell them how you used to be keto, but got tired of consuming factory farmed meat and now you only eat what you kill or findhal9000 said:Seriously.

I tried it for about a 6 weeks. The idea is simple. If your body doesn't have any carbs to burn it will burn fat instead. I lost about 12lbs in that 6 weeks. During that time I didn't exercise much more than walking a couple of miles 3 or 4 times a week. I didn't calorie count but I drastically reduced carbs and I ate no "bad" carbs. The worst side effect was constipation.
About 2 weeks ago I began weight training and playing basketball. My neighbor, (who is a trainer), says I need carbs for what I'm doing so I'm back to a more normal diet.
We'll see.

Yup. But try telling that to a keto person. They insist that being in ketosis is a normal part of our homeostasis.StinkinHippie said:

There's nothing to sell to make Keto work. All one has to do is stay under 25ish net carbs per day.
Intermittent fasting works on the same principles and gets the body to burn the same way with a less strict diet.
