Has anyone gone on the Keto "diet"? Some of you may remember my discussion about a medication I am on that made me gain weight. I'm having trouble getting it off, so yesterday I started it. My dad started it last week, and has lost 13 pounds. It's pretty popular, and I know another lady who lost 75 pounds on the Keto diet.

@JimBo452020 when I do strict keto I don’t go over 20 carbs a day, but now I’m really just trying to maintain. I just eat low carb , drink mostly water and exercise almost every day.

I don't observe in a form of regulated diet, I just try to keep a balanced meal of fresh fruits ,vegetables and meat and carbs. I also make sure to keep myself hydrated by drinking more water.

It's a high fat, low carb diet. It has worked for a lot of people. You eat meat, eggs, cheese, nuts, some fruits, but stay away from things like bread or sugar. For instance, my lunch today was grilled sausage, grilled onions and zucchini, deviled eggs, sliced tomato, and cantaloupe. My dinner was chili. It allows for good fats, so don't let the high fat part scare you.

I tried that and it really worked. The problem was it was causing my BP to escalate. So I had to give it up.

I am trying it, but I need to be a little more disciplined. There are lots of keto options out there. Just remember to exercise to tone and firm as you lose the weight.

Oh, I totally agree with you. I don't want saggy skin like a lot of people get after losing weight quickly.

@ScribbledAdNauseum That would be so disappointing. One does all that work, and then has to deal with that. Some people get skin removal surgery, but insurance doesn't cover that so not that many people can probably afford it.

@AmbiePam My uncle used to date a lady who was very strict with her keto. She fasted for long periods of time too, and ended up with lots of saggy skin.

I did Atkins for years which is basically the forerunner of Keto. Now I just try to eat healthily.

If you do a keto diet, you will have to be on it the rest of your life if you don't want to gain your weight back. I think just a low carb diet works better. Yes, the weight loss will be slower but you are less likely to gain any back.

I have had a lot of experience in diets and dieting---it is easy losing weight on any diet--it is keeping it off that is the problem!! ONLY 1-2% keep their weight off for 5 or more years--and that's on the 'successful' diets!!
