Also, to further confuse you, Therapeutic Keto is used to treat various medical conditions.
The advice I've seen given most often on this forum is: "Pick a plan and stick to it." Regular LCHF eating is a no-brainer which requires no weighing and measuring of food or logging macro nutrients.
*******One further note. From experience I can tell you that when you're in ketosis, you will have little to no hunger. I have to be careful of that or I won't eat enough and my metabolic rate will drop lower and lower.
****************One even further note: Opinions are like eyeballs, we all have one. Or is it two?  |
Bluesinger- I couldn’t agree with you more. I follow Atkins because it Works for me and it is easy. I have been trying to figure out what the difference between Keto And Atkins is. You nailed it - using macros. I choose not to complicate it and just watch carbs. For the ‘most part’ things fall into place of you just eat natural healthy foods without carbs. It works. I’m losing - slowly - but losing.
