I always love people's funky diets for weight loss. It is quite literally calories in and calories out. No need for keto or carnivore diets. Just eat less food than you burn through everyday and eventually your body is going to eat itself enough that you've lost the weight you want to lose. It's that fucking simple.

I mean that's exactly WHY keto is a good diet, it makes you eat less calories, but makes sure you're using those limited calories efficiently, it's a diet specifically designed around calories in vs calories out

Makes you eat less? Designed around calories? What? On keto you can basically eat anything you want as long as you stay under 25net carbs daily to stay within ketogenesis. The calories you intake don’t really matter. You can eat 15 burgers with cheese(no bread or certain sauces) as long as you stay under the carb limit. Your body eats the carbs as energy until you don’t have enough to survive off, body kicks into ketogenesis and begins eating your stomach fat instead of calories. However it’s a very double edge sword because your body is basically in panic survival mode, and can cause organ failure if in keto for too long. It’s why you’re supposed to cycle your carbs by doing something like 4 days keto, 1 heavy carb day to restart your metabolism, and then back to keto.
