I've been using keto to cut to great success.
To address the typical comments that people say about keto:
Yes, I know calories in vs calories out is the key factor in weight loss
I'm still tracking calories and staying in a deficit
Yes, I know low carb diets result in losing water weight
I can tell the difference between water weight and fat. I've lost fat, not just water.
The main reason I like it is satiety. I can eat a big ass plate of pasta or rice and feel hungry again in 2 hours. But, if I eat a steak with some greens I feel satisfied for a solid 6 or 7 hours. I've been dropping about 1.5 lbs a week (800 calorie deficit) for multiple months while much never feeling overly hungry.
However, I'm not sure about it's long term health effects. Can anyone link me some studies or something?
I started getting heart palpitations and feeling really gross/heavy/weird after eating high fat meals after a few months. My lifts stagnated, didn't really change much. And I was sweating a lot.
What foods are u eating? whats your meal plan like
you can't make gains if you die of a heart attack or get colon cancer

Here's what I ate today, it's pretty typical of what I usually eat:
Breakfast: scrambled eggs, spinach, frozen berries
Lunch: salad with vinaigrette (oil+vinegar), chicken thighs, hard boiled egg
Dinner: Steak, collard greens
I pretty never eat snacks since I've started keto.
You'll have a higher chance of developing heart disease on that diet and some types of cancers. You can get satiety from healthier foods.

I use a hefty amount of olive oil in my salad dressings and cook my greens with butter. I eat more fat than protein.

Ketogenic diet.
Basically, if you keep your carbs low enough your body goes into a state called ketosis and starts using fat for energy instead of carbs.

low protein too
>>35154362
doesn't look like you're getting enough fat, do you actually exercise? I can't see you expanding much energy eating such a low calorie diet
unless you're eating like 10 chicken thighs and a 2lb steak.

I lift 4 days week and bicycle on my off days.
I didn't list quantities. I'm eating like 4 eggs, 2 or 3 chicken thighs, and 8 ounce steaks. All the veggies get cooked in butter or olive oil as well.
I'm cutting on 1800 calories.
> Can anyone link me some studies or something?
Literally millions of webpages talk about good & bad foods for cholesterol. Why do you need a study specifically disproving your stupid meme? I hope your heart gives out trying to process all that saturated fat, you keto faggot
>>35154565
>saturated fat is bad
meme
>>35154565
There are also plenty of studies suggesting that saturated fat isn't actually bad.
Stop trying to pretend that everything is clear cut black and white. There's tons of conflicting information and I'm just trying to figure which information to trust.
I think keto fucked up my heart real good. when I wake up I feel this pressure on my chest. I also feel out of breath all the time. my erections are gone as well.
