I have same problem.
on my *ss, not ads.
Once again, dann you autocorrect!
You wind up loosing weight and feeling great. It can also reverse diabetes.
But for me, it really took off when I moved up to doing 48 hours or 72 hour fasts followed up with a low carb feed (basically a big meal) and then right back into fasting for another 48 hour - 72 hours. That's when my numbers became perfect, the weight was flying off, and basically it was effortless because I was "fat adapted", meaning my body preferred using the ketones to sugar and as long as my body was making ketones I didn't get hungry. If I did eat a bunch of carbs, I filled up instantly and felt like hell and then felt like I was starving for days after until i got back to fat adapted. No easier plan than "don't eat". Did that for about five months, lost 80 pounds. Getting back into it now after the holidays screwed everything up. Starving now because I ate tons of carbs on Xmas. So.... hungry ....
Lots of people just do different variations. One meal a day ammounts to a 23 hour fast every single day. That works for a lot of folks. Others just skip breakfast, that ammounts to less food AND a 16 hour (roughly) period of not eating. The goal is to let insulin naturally sink to a low level and stay there as long as possible, that's when the body cannot store fat and cannot stop you from burning it. So they longer you fast, the longer the insulin stays low and they longer you are in fat burning.
I saw a video on Netflix about keto where parents of severely autistic kids were transitioned off the standard american carb diet and onto keto. These were kids who were non-verbal, lethargic or violent. After a month or so, the two kids featured had much more level behavior and began speaking, responding to questions, things like that. Miraculous. But the brain loves ketones, it will survive on sugar but it LOVES ketones.
So you can lose weight by taking in more calories than you expend?
By oversimplified, I think you mean correct.

Got that right Dr. Nowzaradan
I can’t tell if you’re trolling, or just not up to speed.
Maybe an analogy would help.
Dems are always yammering that “tax cuts won’t work” because they see the economy as static, a pie with only so many slices, and that neither businesses nor individuals ever change their behaviour in response to government action.
A diet is the same way: your body doesn’t burn the same set, fixed, exact number of calories every day, independent of what you eat, when you eat it, or your activity.
By changing what you eat, how often, you can fool your body’s adaptive systems, and lose weight in ways conventional wisdom say are impossible.
I’m not trolling, and I understand metabolism.
I have been into fitness and nutrition for 30 years.
I eat mostly vegetables, fish/chicken, and fruits.
I take prebiotics & probiotics.
I lift, sprint, walk, do yoga, meditate/breathing exercises, and sleep minimum 8 hours.
You still need a caloric deficit to lose weight.
I understand ramping calories and re-feeds.
The main problem with diets is that you eventually get sick of eating that way all the time.
I think a ratio of 80/20 on whole foods/processed foods is a good way to go. What this basically means is that 80% of what you eat is whole foods: Meat; fish; fruits; vegetables; and nuts. Then you can still have the slice of blueberry pie or cake or the fries. So long as that stuff is no more than 20% of your diet.
I'm thinking most people who are unhealthily obese have junk food as much higher than 20% of their overall diet.
Ok, we’re talking past each other, then.
My best success has been with either the protein-sparing modified fast (whey protein powder every 3 hours, plus multivitamin and green veggies 1x/day, and a weekly 1-meal refeed), *or* zigzag diet (800-1200 calories one day, 2400-3000 calories the next, lifting weights on high-cal days), and never going above 200 g of carbs a day.
That second one fools your hormones so that your metabolism doesn’t drop off a cliff on the low-carb days.
The protein sparing died always gave me chapped, cracked, skin, due to lack of fats & fatty acids.
Dann you autocorrect, in advance.
I use Fitnesspal app. 50% calories from Carbs, 30% calories from Fat, 20% Calories from Protein. Limits Total calorie intake to Weight Loss Goals.
I follow something similar to your zig-zag manner of caloric cycling.
I try not to follow an exact schedule, as natural organisms seem to thrive on random occurrences.

I LOVE this stuff..!

Hey why is one side of that yuge street (with your shopping cart) so desolate..?
U should think about getting an electric bike.
Stupid diet. Poisons oneself from too much protein
Look fat slobs. Learn to excercise and eat less overall and more vegeatables. Got it ?
Because the lanes that cart is in are for massive cart traffic, only.
It’s really two bridges right next to each other. They passed inspection recently but then a month later a ship spotted a 7 meter tear in a steel girder. So the one bridge was shut down, but now they decided to replace both with a new bridge that will take 10+ years to complete.

“Normally, ketosis is considered a pathological condition associated with diabetes.”
yet another ignoramus spreading misinformation on FR. you are ignorantly confusing ketosis, which is nothing more than the benign condition that occurs when the body burns its own stored fat and ketoacidosis, which is a potentially fatal condition resulting from uncontrolled diabetes. the two conditions are totally unrelated except for having the syllable “keto” in both words.
