I have now given up on Keto. It worked well at reducing my neurological symptoms but I gained a lb approximately every 3 days and I can't afford that. Now on a low calorie diet and will consider returning to keto when I am at a healthy weight. https://twitter.com/EnlghtnmntLibrl/status/991431599945216000 …

I get the best of both worlds if I do a low calorie keto diet but because fat has so many calories, I am constantly hungry and miserable. It will become an option when I am slim & doing a lot of exercise and can afford to eat 2000 calories a day. Can get 3 small meals for that

I think keto works well for people who get filled up quickly on fatty food. The stuff I was reading said many people only feel the need to eat small amounts once or twice a day. I am not one of those people, however.

I have been trying determinedly to lose weight for 2 months. In March, I lost 8 lbs by trying keto & then low calorie keto & then low-calorie non-keto. In April, I put on 8lbs by making sure I stayed in ketosis but eating whenever I was hungry. May will be 1200 calories a day

According to my fitbit, I'm burning 3700 calories a day. If I eat 1200 5 days a week, 2000 one day a week and 2,500 one day a week, I should lose 4lbs a week. Maybe not so much if my metabolism has been screwed up by the meds. But I will stick to this for all of May & report

Eating a ketogenic diet "ad libitum" doesn't work for everyone. Some people have to resort to a low calorie version of the diet. As ketosis suits your neurological symptoms, and you're planning on undereating anyway, why not revert to calorie-controlled ketogenic diet?

P.S. As I've mentioned before, intermittent fasting- e.g., skipping breakfast/ 16:8- can be a 'game changer.' P.P.S. I wouldn't trust Fitbit's calorie calculations for a moment. Speedometers and "flatter" spring to mind..

That doesn't suit me either. I have to do intensive exercise at 8 AM and at * PM. FitBit is in line with the general formula for a woman of my age, weight, height and level of activity.

Forgive my asking, but are you sure that you're not over-exercising? Doing so- especially if you're not recovering or getting enough sleep- can disregulate your metabolism, increasing insulin resistance and making you prone to weight gain...

Don't think so. It's only dogwalking. I have always done it.
