If I lost six years of aging...............I’d still be OLD!.................😁
This study says they had several phases, but the calories were between 600 and 800 a day. Carbs were kept low to assure ketosis and protein was primarily used in the first phase.
This was in their supplementary file.
“No matter what diet diet...weight goes up and down and it’s all about calories and exercise.”
I’m finding that it is more about enzymes and mental attitude.
Keto is normally very low carb, but this diet was very low carb, moderate amount of protein and increase of very healthy fats. Other Keto diets are very low carb, high protein and high good fats.
Atkins and other ketogenic diets often start with 2 weeks of
eating no more than 20 gms. of carbs a day until ketosis is established and weight
is being lost every day. After the 2 weeks you might add 5 gms of
carbs daily for a week, if weight is still being lost, add another 5 carbs a week,
keep adding and weighing until your desired weight is reached and is stable.
Then maintain your weight at this level with no additional level of carb eating
for life.
