Lose beer guy (already quit drinking 2 months ago), hopefully help psoriasis and have more energy, sleep better. I am a pretty active guy, climb and workout in the winter and canoe, hike, mountain bike in the summer (600+ miles last year on dirt). Realizing that none of that matters if I am not puttin the correct fuel in my body. Quote HistoryQuoted:

First question... What is your goal/s? Carbs are great for quickly replenishing the necessary nutrients that muscles need for performance. A low carb diet, Keto for example, has shown to have a lot of health benefits and positive metabolic outcomes, over the long term. You can drink and not have a beer gut, the main reason beer contributes to weigh gain, is the non-nutritional calories (empty-calories) that people tend to overconsume in addition to their regular dietary habits. Calories in > Calories Out == Weight gain. In a low carb diet, Keto in this instance, Protein is a goal, to limit muscle loss, Fat is optional to keep energy levels up and reduce hunger, and Carbohydrates are a limit. You need to self assess and discern if you can make the change to a Keto Style diet, as initially it will be a complete change in dietary habits, which only can be successful if you are acutely aware of what you are consuming, and how much. There is a significant mindset shift that generally needs to happen. Other posters have listed a lot of resources regarding Keto, check them out. A good starting point would be the GD thread I know is floating around here (I havent posted there in probably a year, need find it myself). Reddit also has a great subreddit /r/keto that is full of a lot of good resources. |

Eating a carb heavy Standard American Diet I was very groggy and headache and body ache every morning. Like a very mild hangover just groggy. Waking up was really a bitch. Now I spring from bed energized and ready with hardly any grogginess. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Something not mentioned yet is a keto diet totally eliminates sugar crashes. People's diets are so horrible that they have sugar crashes between meals. On keto there's no sugar to cause a crash or withdrawal. I can really feel it the next morning when I have an occasional "treat day". The other thing that keto has done away with is my chronic hand pain. I had a repetitive motion that I had to do early in my career that left me with a lot of lingering hand pain. After working with my hands for even a few minutes they would cramp up and be sore. They don't do that anymore. |

Do yall ever worry about the sodium intake for this keto diet?
I'm fairly young, 26, 6'3" 205lbs, and have had high blood pressure problems for the last few years. Running has kept it in the prehypertension phase lately. Always been curious about levels of sodium and keto together. |

Real ARFCOM KETO thread - https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/Official-Keto-thread-Now-with-roll-call-poll-/5-1872921/
But since we're discussing it I'll post here - Long-term effects of a ketogenic diet in obese patients TLDR - CONCLUSIONS:The present study shows the beneficial effects of a long-term ketogenic diet. It significantly reduced the body weight and body mass index of the patients. Furthermore, it decreased the level of triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and blood glucose, and increased the level of HDL cholesterol. Administering a ketogenic diet for a relatively longer period of time did not produce any significant side effects in the patients. Therefore, the present study confirms that it is safe to use a ketogenic diet for a longer period of time than previously demonstrated. This is from 2004! Why does our medical $y$tem hide thi$ kind of information? THere are some potential negative effects for certain people. Get a good GP and get checked regularly. |

It's basically meat, fats (butter, oils, etc) and some vegetables (which should primarily be thought of as a fat delivery system and fiber to keep things moving). Some people swear by their favorite meal planning app but it just adds more hassle imho. Basically make your favorite meals, use more butter and oil than you usually would, and take the carbs out. For example, steak, with homemade garlic butter, with asparagus cooked in butter with some cheese on top, and leave off the potato. Fry bacon, then fry eggs in the bacon grease. Cook high fat-content burgers, put cheese on them, whatever veggies you like with them, and eat without the bun. Smoke a brisket without sugar in the rub. Deviled eggs with no-carb mayo. Deep fried chicken wings with no breading. Chili (no beans) with some fat added on top (Cheese / avocado / sour cream / whatever you like) Etc. ETA: The mistake most people make with keto is they eat way too much protein and not enough fat. Fat is the key to feeling good on keto. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Let's compare the obesity rate from 1977 to today after 40 years of "low fat" diets riddled with carbs... looks like taking the advice of the 1977 science is what fattened this country up. |

People can bash keto all they want. I don't care. June 1st of last year I started keto. I'm down 63 pounds, off my BP meds, blood test are all good, and overall feel great.
Went back for yearly check up with Dr and she was shocked. Asked me what I was doing. I told her remember the keto diet you told me was horrible for me and didn't work. Yeah I'm doing that. But at least she admitted that she is definitely going to have to do some new research into it now. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I was eating primarily rice, vegetables, and chicken every day. You would think that would be healthy, but I never dropped a pound eating that way. I started losing weight almost immediately after starting keto. 
And rice as in? 
I know for a fact that if you eat rice, vegetables and yes even a bit of chicken within reasonable amounts you will be fit and healthy. Then again if you eat 50 pounds of chicken and your rice is floating in 1000 calories of oil, then that's a different story. |

Another benefit: I'm down from 240 to 220, halfway to my checkpoint at 200. I started this on January first.
As of now I'm off my BP meds and I'm staying around 124/80 without even bothering to RELAX for a few minutes before taking it. When I was prescribed BP meds I was able to read 180/100 or even higher. 
I'm monitoring my pressure every day and there is a very direct correlation between weight and BP for me. Of course, your mileage may vary, but dropping to a very healthy weight range can certainly have additional benefits. How many prescription drugs will you be able to STOP taking when you drop 50 pounds? My next appointment with my doctor isn't due for a few more months. I plan to shock him by walking into his office 40 to 50 pounds lighter than on the last visit and with normal BP and off meds. Should be fun. |

I'm gonna just throw this out there for all the people considering keto. I did it for well over a year, lost weight, and felt fantastic.
TAKE A FIBER SUPPLEMENT. Your gonna throw off your digestive tract a bit, and I had a terrible case of diverticulitis (I'm early 40's). My gastro guy believes that colon pressure increased due to the low volume of waste being produced while on keto. Take metamucil (or some other type of low carb bulking fiber) every day, and you'll be happier. And if anyone wants a recipe for billyjoebob's homemade quest bars, let me know. Better then store bought, and less then $1 each to make. I even started mixing psyllium husk fiber into each of them. |

Incorporate more fats into your daily intake if you find hunger to be a factor that prevents you from meeting your caloric goals, provides you have the caloric "budget for it. For myself, I used a very low carb Keto Diet (less than 10 grams net daily) to drop body fat weight to my target while maintaining as much existing muscle mass that I already had. Now that im at my target weight, I'm doing strength training and incorporating a low carb diet (<50 grams, still technically Keto) to essentially lean bulk muscle mass. Different goals, but the fundamentals are the same. |

It cleared up when I stopped taking it but the damage was done and when I started eating nice delicious salads for my midday meal it caused a diverticulitis flare up that lasted the better part of a year. Before that happened though I started feeling great again so I knew I could control the arthritis symptoms by changing my diet. Now I focus a lot on gut health and it's helped a lot. I have settled on a pattern of using psyllium husk with my morning meal of eggs and bacon at work. (At home I usually skip breakfast) I find it easiest just to gag it down. It's not so bad really. I have an empty drink bottle that I put some water in. I don't fill it all the way. I add the psyllium, I have a little funnel with a wide stem so it flows quickly. I immediately cap, shake, and drink. Then I add a little more water and repeat, or simply chase with some water. The flavored stuff didn't work for me for some reason, I get the plain husks or husk powder. I also have the caps and citrucel caps. Those are great for convenience. I also ingest probiotics for gut health. I've had absolutely no side effects (like gas and bloating) from them. Gut health is an entirely different but interesting topic that is not incompatible with keto diets. It's kind of important because your typical keto diet doesn't have the resistant starch that is so important. Very very easy to fix though. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 3 meals a day. You go ahead and call bullshit. I don't give a shit if you believe me. I don't need your approval. I'm telling you what works for you didn't work for me. Keto did. If your diet worked for me I would be singing its praises instead. |

That's ok. It ain't rocket science though. No one's overweight with 3 meals of plant food a day plus a chicken breast. It's just physically impossible that's all. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Great job, OP. Keeping the extra weight off in your golden years will do wonders for your back and knees regardless of how many jumps you have and how many 20K ruck marches you've done.

*Snip* There's a reason why there's no such thing as an overweight vegan, and just eating one chicken breast a day puts you in that ballpark. Why don't you just quit clicking on keto threads, nobody wants to hear your opinion and you embarrass yourself. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I agree with other poster. Protein target, not too much, not too little. Carbs are a hard limit, don't go over. Fat up to your calorie limit,but no need to add extra if you aren't hungry. |

I’ve lost 35 pounds since January 8. I’m off one beetus pill. I plan to lose a certain amount and switch to a maintenance eating. I’m never going “off the diet”.

Not while losing weight. If you are at your ideal weight, I don't see much harm in having a few once in a while. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted:
It's actually good to every now and then (2-3 weeks for me) modestly cheat. It triggers something in the body to break plateaus and such. IE one or two beers or a couple slices of pizza. Quote HistoryQuoted:
