jd_ Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Stay under 20 net carbs per day and you'll do it naturally. I feel those are a waste of money as well as the testing strips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsox24 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Agree with Jd. Just do the keto thing yourself. I've done it for 6 months twice and have currently been doing it for about 3 weeks. You can still eat like a king. Plenty of steaks, chicken, fish, burgers (without the bun), salads, etc. It's not as hard as you'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every study shows that ketosis based diets can take years off your life if done long enough and frequently enough. No beer either. Pass.

A lot of these studies started coming out recently too - given that there wasnt long term studies on it until recently completed one https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS2468-2667(18)30135-X/fulltext https://www.escardio.org/Congresses-&-Events/ESC-Congress/Congress-resources/Congress-news/caution-against-cutting-down-on-carbohydrates https://www.health.com/healthday/keto-diet-popular-it-safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bump City Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 If you're really fat and need to badly lose weight and then change your lifestyle then it's a good idea. If you're just a few pounds over weight and need to get back in shape you should try something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. NBA Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Ive done the no carb thing numerous times throughout my life and nothing makes weight fall off faster for me. I do 10 days on 2 days off for roughly 2 months and thats usually enough to get me from 215 to 195. Then I go back to eating carbs but in moderation and can hold off the weight until I go to Vegas or visit my folks or holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyF0cker Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 It's all too generic. If you're on a low carb diet and getting the right nutrients (eating a lot of vegetables and balancing your diet), it can't be worse for you than a sugar-laden diet. If you're eating mostly animal fats, it can certainly be detrimental to you. If you're not losing a lot of weight and it's a temporary diet - not long term, surely it won't have a significant impact on your lifespan.

People that are obese and on it will receive more health benefits from not being obese than the negative attributes of the diet. But frequently people put the weight back on and then go back on the diet - they yoyo their weight and eat unhealthy which is a deadly combination for the heart.. most people aren't replacing the lack of carbs with healthy proteins - it's usually meat.

Pass.The no beer thing is hard but at least can be replaced with hard alcohol. The only negative thing my doc warned me about was if i had any prior kidney problems (which I dont), then I would want to watch my proteins. The 2 times i did it I was about 20-25 lbs overweight (far from obese) and I did it with plenty of cheat meals and a few beer fests so it was pretty easy and afterwards I felt great.

KingKolzig Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 An alcoholic drink is a drink that contains ethanol, a type of alcohol produced by fermentation of grains, fruits, or other sources of sugar. Drinking alcohol plays an important social role in many cultures. Most countries have laws regulating the production, sale, and consumption of alcoholic beverages.
