i am about to start a "keto diet" where you eat a lotttt of fat and protein and basically 0 carbs except the little that you get in greens. and you "carb up" one day a week. has anybody done this? experienced people only please. what kind of fat loss can i expect? im just trying to lose the last pounds of fat on my body so i look lean for summer (:
Ahh, the ol' low carb diet. I'll tell you one thing, it works for sure but you gotta stay strict on it and when you do have carbs, do not go overboard.
Here's the thing with carbs, they are very addictive, whether you realize it or not. You will most likely go through withdrawals when you first stop and it is hard to contain.
Does it work? Most definitely, but you have to stay true to it. One other thing, if you go off it and go back on the carbs hardcore, you will gain weight back very fast too. Usually, just doing the diet alone without any exercise will see significant results. But, I think exercise would be good too especially if you're packing in more proteins/fats.
I did a low carb diet a year ago and managed to lose 30lbs in about 3 weeks. I kind of fell off the wagon and have been trying to get back on.
Best of luck.
(Rating: 5) awesome! im verry excited! but on this diet they tell me to do a "carb up" once a week. where all day i get to eat carbs (as long as i dont go overboard!) so hopefully allowing me to eat carbs once a week will keep me motivated!
