Don't do it. It's a very strict diet, and if you don't do everything right this can put a strain on the liver to convert fats and protein into glucose. In addition your body may lose the ability to produce compounds called glycoproteins, which are vital to cellular functions. Always check with your doctor before going on any weight loss program.

Thing is, best diets we got kinda delivered alla us here on an evolutionarily sound ticket.

Thing for Moi is ... would a carbonized rat I swoopied outta NATURE with my own barest Wonderwoman hands taste any sweeter than a carbonized pizza says don't matter what cookin' instructions ur readin' right now FFS, gonna end up same as the rat cosya are Homecrafts Ditz, O Princess?

My problem with any diet got a high falutin' name on it is ... prolly this is crap.

An' I say this as sumone ain't anyways no kinda fat, tellya.

I am so Wraith Inspiration, sumtimes I blink entirely outta view.

Las' f*cker u want writin' on no arbitrarily marketable diet scheme imho.

Plus also, Keto sounds like a pianer-playin' frickin' dolphin.

Gals in my Yoga groop dig that kinda schwango -- but not Moi.

Hey Mark,

I've been doing low carb paleo/primal for a few years.

It's been very good.

Keto can be difficult on the body if not done properly.

What are your goals? fat loss? better health? better energy?

If you want to go keto, read/listen to the new book by Mark Sisson called Keto Reset Diet, on how to transition into Keto effectively. Leanne from Healthfulpursuit.com also has some real good info on keto.

All the best.

I would wait til the Tonto diet came out, at least it has meat!

It's a good point that we should all investigate where our doctors get their information... But it's a good disclaimer to point people toward people who finished medical school!

The only way I've ever been able to lose weight is through low carb eating. My goal was 20-30 grams of carbs daily. After a several year "break" from low carb dieting, it's time to get things under control again.

So, I was just checking on some of the latest research before starting up again.

I would prefer the Clouseau way, or eat anything that is pink.

Anyone try the Keanu Marshmallow diet?

It works best when paired with intermittent fasting. I lost 35 pounds using keto/IF

I am currently on it. Have lost 30 lbs in 4 months with no addition of exercise. My best advice...

Make sure to have a cheat meal when you plateau or start getting headaches.

I have used Atkins for years, on and off. It's the diet that works best for me. It's a tough diet to follow if you don't have good will power. I use it for big weight drops, then transition into more of a Paleo diet. The thing is, the minute you drop out of Keto, you are going to start gaining weight again, so if you aren't prepared or have a plan to maintain your weight, it's easy to see the weight rebound quickly.

Make sure you are ok to eat a lot of eggs, cheese, meat and salads. If you go out to eat with friends or family, try to find a place that serves a Ceasar Salad. Have a chicken breast added and have them remove the croutons. It's very common at most restaurants, so you don't have to sit around and pout while everyone else is eating.

Good Luck!!!

I'd not try this diet. I've been working on losing weight and building muscles for a few months already. I attend gym, run two times per week and do exercises at home following the tutorials from this . I should say, I'm satisfied with the result. In my opinion, it would be great for you to ask a professional trainer as he/she can choose a proper complex of exercises and the needed nutrition. Good luck!

This is such an old thread, Mark has gone back to being a Singularity

I use the Cato diet, all you can eat and you buy in bulk. Works for me.

I've lost 51 pounds in the last 5 months simply by counting calories and taking a 30-45 minute walk 3-4 times per week. The My Fitness Pal app makes counting calories a snap.

i stop paying attention to people giving advice on what to eat .. based of of what people ate before 10,000 years ago.. or because of the way are teeth and jaw are set up .. and the proceed to explain diets that require lots of refrigeration to afford to eat that way, juicer or blenders ..or food shipped from 7,000 miles away to be fresh or organic ..

humans evolved after cooking fires and stone cutting tools and tubers are easy to grow ..and store in the ground ..but need to be cooked ..human general stayed near sources of water ..and it is much easier to use those long straight pointy sticks to hunt fish.. than big animals that are not trapped in pits or stuck in mud ..and fish can be dried and salted .. and salt is easy enough to get by evaporating salt water .

Nope Mark; not long term. Just being on it for 1 month was all I could stands.

My advice; exercise for 1 hour daily, eat plenty of fruits and veggies, drink lots of water, and you'll be in good enough shape that, at 43 years old, if you dye your hair with shoe polish, may still get carded. Happens to me sometimes. I just don't use show polish.

I've been on a Keto diet for almost 3 months and I'm largely enjoying it.

I don't think I look much different but I feel healthier, I have more energy and I'm more focused.

The weird shooting chest pains have gone, and my left arm has stopped going numb

The most important thing in a diet, I'm bias about mine as I make $$ with it, is about learning how to eat correctly and learning how to keep introduce activities into your daily life (excersises/sports).

You have correctly learned to diet if you allow your self to pig out, once or twice per week, and you immediately know how to take all the measures to go back to your healthy lifestyle.

I have a very good friend who is doing the Keto diet - she lost 22 lbs in around 3 weeks - her skin looks beautiful and she is very happy and healthy.


She does take cheat days tho - and I think that with every diet plan there should be a break when you just eat normally (moderation is the key!)


I am personally doing a detox first - something very similar to the Red Tea Detox that is a huge seller on Clickbank and I can tell you I notice a difference -


good luck with whatever method you choose - here's to your health!

I'm not exactly sure what the "Keto Way" of eating is.

I've had great success with the Whatty Way of eating though. It's a simple 4 step process:

1) Open mouth;
2) Insert food;
3) Chew food;
4) Swallow.

Works like a charm for me.

I've got a free facebook group that I can add you into if you would like and have written numerous articles about keto.

Key importance is to get your electrolyte levels right as you lose a lot of salt when you start a low carb diet.

I would like to try this diet soon. Do you think it is important to take some vitamins while dieting too? I have found some on here, and I would like to order them soon. i need to lose weight, but I want to do it healthy

No need for keto, just go low carb - meat, fats and low carb veggies. You'll get all your vitamins and all the advantages of keto

It's harmful, I wouldn't recommend it.

Medically, professionals usually recommend an average of one to two pounds of weight loss per week when losing weight the "traditional" way. Is the keto diet any different? At first -- within the first several weeks -- you'll lose mostly water weight due to a decrease in calories.

Since my last post in November last year I am still maintaining the weight loss using WW and better food choices along with walking, running, biking, etc.


I've had a lot of conversations with people trying diets like Keto, Atkins, etc. and here's what I have learned. Not counting MEDICAL reasons for these diets (if there are any) most of the folks I talked to try them because they simply don't want to count calories. They want a list of foods they CAN eat and CAN'T eat.


In other words - laziness


I get it. I love shortcuts.



At the end of the day, whether you count calories or work off of food lists, the key is will power. Self control. What I like about WW is that their point system accounts for more than just calories. And they actually make it pretty easy with their app. When I shop, I use the apps bar code scanner to find the point values of what I am buying.



I am one of those that can't give up on one type of food or another. I like meats, chicken, breads, pasta, one-pot meals, stews, etc. So I still eat ALL of them. In moderation, in conjunction with exercise, and more of it whole foods rather than processed.

We're all different. Whatever works best for you.


And doctors hardly know bunk about nutrition. Consult an ACTUAL nutritionist.

I would like to try it soon. Which vitamins and supplements do you recommend to take while on such a diet? I would like to get any tips on it from you here
