Keto actually isn’t Adkins. they’re both low carb but Keto is a bit more strict recommending less then 20 grams of carbs a day. it also recommends a diet of 80% fat and 20% protein. Ive been on it since Aug 1st and have lost 60lbs and dropped 6 pants sizes. I do miss beer though.

Well done!!
Right. No one of normal or somewhat overweight lbs needs to be on full keto. You simply MUST have natural starches every day to feed the gut bugs. 50-80 g carbs a day is still quite low for Americans. You don’t need full keto.
First, congratulations on your weight loss! That's inspiring and I need to lose some myself. I'm going to have to look up the Keto diet.
Second, I was on Atkins a very long time ago and went from 238 to 172 in about five months myself. I seem to recall it being a zero/near zero carb diet for the first few months followed by a slow re-introduction of some carbs, although I don't remember how many that was.
It was also 20 years ago .....
Ok, you've inspired me. I'm looking up Keto as soon as the holidays are over.
