A person on the plan lost 26 pounds in six weeks so I am thinking of trying it. Has any one here tried it?
I see the first person they interview is Gary Taubes. I'm a big fan of him and his talks. My doctor still tells people to go on a low fat diet. I like my doctor, but I don't think he's read anything about diet or nutrition since the 1990's.I just put on a free documentary movie called "Fat Fiction". It basically says "Fat Fiction reveals how the United States government relied on questionable evidence to support one of the most damaging public health recommendations in the history of our country: the “low fat diet.”

I have, and lost a lot of weight, but then regained. As @Aunt Bea says the initial weight loss can be rapid, but that is due, in part, to water and digestive solids loss. Eating fewer carbs will reduce water retention.Has Anyone Tried the Keto Diet Plan?
Absolutely!I've been on every diet on the face of the earth. They all worked .. until I went off them.
Very true, a simple equation, but hard to implement. It all comes down to calories.1 pound of fat= 3500 calories, divide by 7(days in a week) and that's 500 calories per day for losing 1 pound in a week.
Great work, congratulations!My most successful dieting has just been counting calories and trying to eat a healthy balance of food. No named diet. I am almost 200 lbs below my peak weight, and can offer no silver bullet.
There is no doubt that it works. Congratulations! You are doing great! I also do Intermitten Fasting. 17 hour fast.I have been on the Keto diet for 5 months. I fasted for 24 hours and then ate food according to this Keto diet food plan.
I have lost 35 pounds , and many of the bad symptoms of chronic IBS have vanished. I stay away from from processed sugar and flours.
Activity level has a lot to do with it, too.I tried the Keto diet but decided that it was not for me because fresh fruit has always been a big part of my diet and I could not give it up. Anyway, I went on the "Fit or Fat Target Diet" but it did not work for me like it once did, so I started counting calories and that seems to be the solution. I try to keep my calorie count under 1600 a day---even though I could have more and still lose weight. Here is the chart I go by.

Yes, I am doing that for about 5 days now. I had stopped for about a month and was eating every 6 hours. I gained back about 10 pounds. I already have lost 5, and I have started exercising more...I got complacent/lazy.There is no doubt that it works. Congratulations! You are doing great! I also do Intermitten Fasting. 17 hour fast.
I know what you are talking about. I regret it every time I have had to start over. I got it now though!Yes, I am doing that for about 5 days now.

For me, it's a natural plan, and easy to follow ..... and I walk everydayYes, I follow the Keto food plan. Not only for weight loss but for my health. It is the only plan I could ever stick with and I love it. If I eat off the plan, even one meal I can tell.
Walking every day is a future goal of mine. I think I sense some improvement since I am not eating certain foods. Oh yeah, I think it is easy to follow too.For me, it's a natural plan, and easy to follow ..... and I walk everyday
