@catlover- A cousin of mine was following KETO for a while and lost a large amount of weight. She couldn't sustain the eating lifestyle of KETO and stopped. She gained the weight back.

Do your research to find the best plan for you.

This is true of any weightloss diet - WW, Jenny Craig, you name it. If you quit your program and return to the way of eating that got you fat and unhealthy to begin with, you'll get the same results again.

Butter
Cheese
Saturated fats from meats
are not healthy, no matter how it's spun.

Not healthy for the heart, liver, or breast tissue. I don't judge those that love it, buy into it, or follow it.
I just know it's not a healthy ideology for me.

What's unhealthy for the heart and liver is to be bombarded by sugar throughout the day. Healthy Keto is NOT all the bacon, cheese, and butter you want in unlimited amounts. Those of us who do it right, also include the right kind of vegetables in healthy amounts. We get our carbs mostly from those vegetables as well as dietary fiber.

"a calorie deficit is a must". For some this is not "a must", for most? Yes. Were I to go by caloric intake only to choose and decide what I wanted to weigh at a given time, I would fail. My reasons are different than a large majority of those wanting to choose their best weight.

Unfortunately for those that choose to lose fat weight, by caloric intake only, fat is not the only tissue lost. Along with fat loss comes muscle tissue loss, which almost never is considered to be a good thing.

This goes back to my other post stating: Eat less/Move more. In my opinion, way too many wanting to lose fat weight, choose going the caloric route only. This accommodates the "input" side of the equation".

Very few choose to do it the way I have for decades. For me it is almost the complete opposite. There have been many times that "output" was my only interest in reaching my desired weight and body composition goals.

Reducing calories(fuel in) as opposed to increasing caloric "output" is a much faster and less effortless way to accomplish one's scale weight goal. My preference has always been "body composition first", "scale body weight" the very last.

My view is those wishing to change scale numbers would be better served by thinking about incorporating both. Very few of the hundreds I have spoken with over decades about weight loss, and control, mention caloric output to me.

The "go to" is almost always centered around "calories in", and I have a feeling it probably always will be. In the 1 way you "quit" doing something. In the other way you physically "start" doing something, which most do not want to choose.
