I am not cutting down or belittling the keto diet. I my try it but I will still manage my daily caloric intake. And I refuse to fast, ever. You cannot take your eyes off the speedometer, ever.

I think fasting is fine, but I’m not here to tell you or others that you need to do it. My longest is 10 days, with many in the 4 to 9 day range. In fact, that’s the ONLY way that I’ve actually removed significant weight. And my fasting isn’t like a Jesse Jackson hunger strike*, instead, just water, salt, and black coffee.
Yes, some hunger, but mostly at the beginning and when I have to smell food prepared by others (such as at work), but otherwise just low-level stuff.
*years ago, Jesse Jackson went on a long hunger strike for ‘civil rights’. After a few weeks, a reporter asked him why he didn’t appear to lose any weight. He said that he gets ‘help’ during his hunger strike and rotates in others to continue it. Figures.
“I will still manage my daily caloric intake. And I refuse to fast, ever.”
If it works for you, I’m happy for you. Didn’t work for me.
