the studies all say that a ketogenic diet is at its best up to 8 weeks, then your LDL and HDL will skyrocket as well as serum cholesterol

>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.

A little over 3 weeks of progress. About 20 lbs in those 2 pictures. No strength loss on my lifts, actually they've been going up. Cravings are pretty awful, just learn to control it, but then again I'm a carb junkie. Probably why I'm fat. I have a cheat meal on Saturday then I don't eat anything Sunday. Works pretty well actual and all this carbs kill the Sunday Cravings.

Fuck it, just exercise to lose weight like a normal being. I can't handle having zero water retention.

The only problem with keto is that it subjects your body to fuckloads of stress.

You don't need a keto diet. Either just do more exercise, or put some fucking muscle on.
Starting keto soon. Just go to buy the food!
Anyone got some nice recipes that are easy to cook?
did 100% keto a while back
I felt sharp, but weird
didn't feel right at all
I still eat high fat and protein, but I eat whole grain too

>long-term effects
>in obese patients
You might think it sounds impressive, but actually look at the data. The study was on obese people with a bmi over 35 who were cutting calories and losing weight, which on its own is enough to show some improvements in bloodwork. Their LDL went from a high 158 average to a high 131 average after 24 weeks on the diet. They saw the biggest improvements within the first 8 weeks during the most rapid weight loss period, then things got much slower for the rest of the trial.
What this study is showing is that if you put obese people (people with an even worse diet than keto) on a keto diet, they'll lose weight, which will cause some minor improvements in biomarkers that the keto diet is likely still working against. There was no point in the 24 weeks where the subjects could be called healthy, they only went from horrible to really bad. If you've got a BMI of 35-40 and your diet goes from lots of grease and lots of sugar to just lots of grease, you might drop some pounds and see a few improvements in your labs, but this isn't evidence that a keto diet is compatible with being healthy

My left kidney hurts, I probably have a stone. I don't see a real point to keto unless you need adrenaline for some reason.
If anyone else wants to try keto, go for it. Just always keep carbs handy to safely abort it.
