Anybody have input on this. Is it worth giving up my carbs? Sounds good but not sure.

Keto diet....
- Thread starter Sweetjones
- Start date
Some people love it, and do well with it. I'm not one of those people. Keto left me feeling like shit, no energy, no pumps, lack of performance and loss of strength. Results also weren't anything great compared to traditional dieting in my opinion. I prefer a properly structured defecit with the right macro ratio. I've also seen Keto diets wreck lipids pretty bad because of the higher fat intake
I think it depends on what your aiming for.. But personally im not a fan high fats macro count makes me feel like shit.. plus I like to keep my protein on that upper level.

Yeah ill stick to my normal diet. I might just kill someone without my carbs!
Ive tried it and I lost weight. I also lost size that I worked my ass off to build and my workouts were in the tank. I literally couldnt finish reps I was smashing before I did it. Not worth it IMO. I do 50/30/20 and thats my sweet spot.

i certainly dont recommend it whatsoever.. no low carb diet is sustainable and ultimately leaves you feeling so horrible that you dont even know what to do with yourself... you cant stay on a diet like that for too much of an extended period of time... well, you can, but its going to hurt you long term... some people stand by it and thats fine, its on them... however, if your asking me, no fucking way...
I've been doing it 2 months and lost 30 lbs and although the good results much of what was said here is true with energy levels and pump... low energy in the gym and little to no pump.. something not sustainable but has worked for me

it will work but only for a short time and then you end up worse off than when you started...
I think it's good to use if u are overweight or looking to lose some weight quick. LBS melted off me but wasn't worth me not getting a pump and no vascularity besides days I carbed up.

I freaking hate keto diet personally.
it only works well with people you don't respond to carbs well, higher bodyfat people, endomorphs mesomorph types.
I made a keto diet for one of my buddies, he ran 75g carbs a day and he was still squatting 6 wheels for reps. that's just how his body works. carbs bloat him up and make him fat. for me, I can eat 600g of carbs a day and it just makes me hold a little water Lol. if I eat 75g carbs a day, I will be as weak as piss and as flat as plywood.
for most people I wouldn't recommend Keto. I also wouldn't recommend Keto is youre trying to gain muscle. its only for specific body types when trying to Cut.
for the average person, low carb works better then Keto. personally I can cut on 300g of carbs
Keto also involves cycling. you need 1-2 refeed days, where you go high carb to replenish glycogen. but I much prefer Low carb cycling over straight Keto. I will go low carb for 6 days then have one high carb day.
Keto changed my life. I had brain surgery & was in the ICU for 10 days. I spent a month and a half in bed then finally made it to the couch for another month. I weighed 250 with diabetes & lost 4 lbs a week with no exercise. Finally started running & working out, it changed my life. Now I use it to bulk then blast weight off. It's not for everyone but I still had pizza night to carb up. You can't cheat at all or you won't Keto adapt
All good points but I'm sticking with the carbs, just keep pushing forward and see what these sarms can do for me along with some hard work

Appreciate the feedback man. This is why I love this forum. Any question at all gets a top notch informative response

keto diet is straight booty bruh!! loose all your strength , motivation... and libido goes down. not to mention it takes weeks to get fully adapted , i ran it for two weeks, lost about 8-9 pounds but it sucked, everything was flat...
stick to a high protein med carbs and low fat diet trust me
stick to a high protein med carbs and low fat diet trust me
You probably weren't eating enough fat experiencing that bro... diets higher in fat show higher test levels.. those initial few days or weeks is known as Keto flu not getting enough fats and sodium/electrolytes
