I guess the breakdown is like 70-75% fat, 10-15% protein and the rest in carbs on the keto diet which is likely less than I consume now. I don't count calories or anything else for what I eat currently but I also believe I read you should eat like 1.5-2 grams of protein per pound of body weight to be actually building muscle, so I imagine I'm in excess of that presently.
From what I read the keto diet allows your body's metabolism to function differently by eliminating carbohydrates significantly and thereby burn fat as the primary source of energy; is this wrong?
That’s the run around of Ketosis.. But a few factors to think about:
1. Your performance will be doodoo
2. Demonizing a food group almost always equals failure in a diet
3. You won’t lose any more weight than any other diet.. Calories in vs calories out is the golden rule.
4. Most people run the diet in conjunction with the bro science of IIFYM, which can alarmingly raise your LDL and triglyceride levels
The keto diet has its place, such as for someone who would benefit to have ketones in their blood like an epileptic patient, but it’s an overrated fad diet.
