I still lose weight like I did on atkins, but, with no unpleasant feeling. I just felt I had a lot of energy when I work out with no hunger pangs and weakness.

I found out that you'll lose fat faster with restricted calorie. Dieting is the most potent fat burner there is. Working out alone does not burn that much compared to dieting. Even if you bust your butt in the gym for 5 hours. Let me show you:

My basal metabolic rate is around 1800 calories. This is my metabolic rate at rest. A lb of fat is 3500 calories. If I eat only 800 calories daily, my body is burning 1000 calories worth of fat per day. In 1 week, that will be 7000 calories which equals to 2lbs of fat loss.

I can finish 5km in 30mins at a comfortable pace and I only burn 400 calories. If I run for 1hr, I burn 800 calories. At this time, my body is already stressed and in a lot of pain. If I do this everyday for a week, I'll be burning 5600 calories. However, my body will suffer with possible injuries. No one can sustain this much stress on the body.

So, if we want to burn fat effectively, diet is the only way to go. Working out like a slave for that long period will only harm your health in the long run. We see that working out is certainly not the best way to burn fat.

Would that 800 calorie deficit gradually decrease your metabolic rate thus leading you to starve yourself more to notice weigt losses?

You will still lose weight regardless. Your body is still burning calories to keep you alive. I've seen people fasted for a month (0 calories) and are totally fine. But, this is not for everyone. The best approach is still diet and excercise.

One should really steer clear of this type of food if you're trying to lose weight.

everyone will lose weight, bar none, if they burned more calories than they ate.

Starve? Depends on your food choices..1pc cinnabon vs a whole roasted chicken..calories is almost the same..when i do a cut..i just eat clean and the amount of food often too much for other people...my bmr is around 3k cal, when i cut its around 2200, that consist of 1kilo of thigh fillet, 500g of sliced bananas, half a dozen eggs and sweet potatoes...again, clean food has a bigger volume than processed ones..

We see that working out is certainly not the best way to burn fat. It's just too much work. But, don't get me wrong. Working out is very beneficial for your body. But, as for fat burning, it's not as efficient as dieting. To get the best of both worlds, we combine diet and exercise.

As an added bonus, dieting will also help you lose water weight as you shed those excess sodium from your body. You'll be seeing around 5lb-10lbs weight loss within a week. Some even overnight. Your waist line will also shrink and also other parts of your body, like your butt. lol.

Anyway, I'm talking way too much already. Ok, thanks, bye!

I did keto for a year..lost a lot of weight...stopped coz my 3 major lifts went down, not becoz i lost strength, its becoz of physics, you need weight to move weight..never felt any negatives effects once i adapted... i too am doing IF, nearing 4 years...i can eat anything as long as ive reach my marcos..

They dont realize what fat is for....stored energy. When will you tap into it if one keeps on stuffing food at the first sign of discomfort..

Nakakaputi ba ketogenic diet? My friend invited me to this group where people post their amazing transformation pics. One common thing - lahat sila pumuti at kuminis! Their fat pics were taken during the filter era naman, so I doubt it's filters.
