You may want to know. Keto diets are good for weight loss, but have side effects.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I'm slowly losing weight. My target is getting in to the 130's and staying there...while keeping my fitness. I work out daily; either a good swim, or a decent bike ride.
I won't go to a high fat /low carb "keto" diet.
The logic to me is in the portions and the hunger factor. If I go to be a bit hungry, I lose weight. If I eat unwisely, I gain weight.
The diet demands we have are far stronger than any drug addiction; we've been programmed to diet prefs before we could walk and talk...so it's no wonder that it's hard to change our diet.
My recommendations are simple....ease up on the carbs. Cut out/reduce breads, rice, and potatoes.
Boost your proteins and fiber.
Boost your fresh frruits and veggies. Even frozen and lightly cooked is better than none.
Ease up on your pure sugar; Splenda/sucralose is a good substitute.
I'm at 145 this AM and I plan to be in the 130's by the time the holiday "feasting" season rolls around.

Reducing portions reduces calories; one must reduce calories to lose weight. It's physics. Fat and sugar are high in calories and low in nutrition, protein is higher in calories but lower in nutrition than carbs. That's science, not my opinion.
Fresh fruits and veggies are great. Except for a few, cooking destroys nutrition, but they are still good for you. Dried or frozen are excellent choices.
Fiber is important too, and you get it from fruits and veggies. Fiber and good nutrition can curb hunger.

Posted by OldMetalHeadThe hardest part for me is not falling back into old bad habits after meeting goals.

Posted by JonnaBononnaI had finally gotten back on track after gaining back most of the weight I lost a couple of years ago.
Posted by JurneeI have to say, as an overweight karate instructor, this is the one patch that I was ok with never getting.

Posted by DotLewis7 March 2020 - Diet Diary - Been quiet around here lately. I've not been on vacation, just keeping a low profile and trying to stay on top of things. Are those things incompatible?
