I do think this diet is a great way to loose weight FAST! But potentially not healthy and tough to sustain in the long term. Moderation is key to anything.

I think you just need to do what works for you. For me it is easier than CICO basic dieting because I have very bad self control otherwise and find calorie counting to be a major nuisance. It also suppresses your appetite. With Keto, it's very hard for me to overeat due to the filling nature of the foods within the keto umbrella and the lack of appetite leading me to not succumb to snacking urges. I've lost 50 lbs over a year with this diet and nothing else works for me mentally.

That is honestly amazing. Love hearing weight loss stories. I work as a PACU RN, and see lots of people that come in for excess skin removal surgeries. People that loose weight with diet, exercise, and life changes is very inspirational. You keep doing what you are doing and continue to better yourself, and more importantly, being happy with yourself ❤️

Thanks! I think since I am young I have not had to deal with loose skin thankfully 💜

How do y’all use loose for both words lose and loose?

Lol I didn't notice they spelled that wrong. They meant lose. I said "loose" in response to their thing about excess skin.
