Message: [QUOTE="80shusky, post: 2738495, member: 5992"] Different things work for different people and body types, how much weight you want to lose etc. My wife wanted to lose about 30 lbs to get back to her college weight. She is only 5' tall and not big in general but after our daughter was born 6 years ago she gained around the middle and didn't like it. She has tried a sort of modified Keto. Idea is reduce carbs and sugars, eat more protein and more healthy fats. We have removed most bread from our dinners, no rolls or buttered arthur avenue which I love. She eats her burgers and sandwiches without rolls or bread. Sometimes I play ball, sometimes I have the roll for my burger. We go light on rice, pasta, potatoes stuff like that. She doesn't abstain from them, she just has less. She exercises some portion control. Eggs and fruit for breakfast. That type of thing. She has lost 20 lbs in about 4 months without daily exercise and her pants are just about falling off her. That stuff around the middle she didn't want is most of what is coming off. She cheats and has a few beers on the weekend, or a burrito, or a wrap with her sandwich now and again but it is working without any inconvenient side effects. Important to note though that she isn't sticking to a true Keto, just enough to stay in ketosis most of the time (she tests) and portion control and controlling without eliminating carbs. Also important to note that she takes multi vitamins and augments them with other vitamins and takes a little fiber. It is working really well for her. She wants to lose about 10 more and then figure out how to maintain it. Everyone's experience with every kind of diet will be different based on their body. I've even lost 5 lbs in interim just by reducing my carbs in the process I'm guessing. I've been a steady 190 lbs for the last 10 years and am down to 185 without really doing anything other than skipping a roll or pasta here and there. Kudos to you [USER=1047]@August_West[/USER] for trying something that seems to be working for you and feeling good about it for the most part. [/QUOTE]
