I eat salmon everyday along with 2-3 bananas on an intermittent fasting diet....and really it works out the same. Weight comes off effortlessly. And I don’t have to get my mind around fruit being bad = meat good.

And if you stop keto, you’ll gain it all back plus more. How is that different than other diets?

The lack of logic is deafening, and rambling on makes it deafening for longer.

Don’t plan to stop Keto (although I may switch to just low carb). It’s not really a diet, it’s a lifestyle. And it’s easy.

Does anyone here supplement their keto diet by taking ketones?

Can you share any insight about this?

A common misconception is that Keto is a high-protein diet. It is not, too much protein can lead to insulin production. It is a high-fat diet, with at least 70% of calories coming from fats.

Eat more high fructose corn syrup, mashed potatoes and grains. They are all good for you and will help out the social security situation.

I spent well over a decade in the United States military.
If eat less move more isn’t working for you it means that you are making excuses instead of moving enough more.

My personal experience and observations tell me that, by far, activity, is the most important thing a person can do for their long term health. Activity (even a simple daily walk) is good for your physical health. But more important, it’s good for your mental health. And most overeating takes place to compensate for problems with mental heath (depression, stress, etc.)

More activity=less depression, stress, etc.= less desire to eat that extra hamburger or slice of cake= further desire for activity because of the realization that you feel better.

"I'm down ~25lbs, in 3 months, doing Keto."

Sincere congratulations. I'll check back in 3 years to see how successful you are, long term.

I read the article you presented, which seems both scientific and sensible. One thing that was missing was a discussion of lipids, which one might assume might be negatively affected by the higher-fat component of a Keto program.

Honestly, I'm not trying to be argumentative -- there's just so much contradictory information about what's the 'best' way to eat for better health and weight control.

I've been fortunate to have taken off 110+ lbs, which I've maintained for nearly 7 years, by focusing on smaller portions of a variety of foods, and regular, pleasurable exercise.

I don't eat many of the favorites that made me fat for most of my adult life, but they're not totally off the table. They're there if I want them, and I know that there's room for them in my life, occasionally, and that makes it easier to make better choices most of the time.

If only there were simple, definitive answers that worked for everybody...

I think that would be a bad idea.
They’re young and should be burning tons of calories.
Besides, every weekend they would be out of ketosis.
I qualified for the PJ’s, but got hammered pretty much every weekend...

I do not. As a “health” adult, my body will balance itself on its fat burning needs and ketone production.

Now, that being said, athletes may take ketones. Or, the elderly may take ketones if they are unable to consume enough calories or are in a managed care facility that is relying on a high carbohydrate diet. I think Dr. Bosworth covers this.

I agree activity is very important, but there’s a saying in the fitness community. “You can’t out train a poor diet”.

Yup, just like The Atkinson diet.
