I started Keto on 4/1/17.... lost 50 lbs and felt like a million bucks. I got off keto about 2 weeks ago because I'm human and I wanted to eat whatever I wanted for a little while. I have felt like a$$ ever since. Bloating, gas, heartburn, headaches, sinking spells, joint pain.... things I haven't dealt with in a year. My dumba$$ is going back to keto tomorrow.
So I am within 8 pounds of my target weight as of this morning. I have modified keto in the following ways and still have lost 2 pound in the last month.
I just stay away from "gratuitous" carbs - i.e., the baked potato, breads, beans, rice, ice cream, etc. If a dish I want has ~some~ carbs - i.e., green bean casserole at Easter - I have one serving. I stick to light beer and limit myself to two or three once a week.
I am certain I am not in ketosis, but I've lost enough weight now that ketosis was only yiedling about 1 pound a week. With the summer upon us, I now should be able to increase my outdoor physical activity enough to continue to lose as long as I eat at a slight calorie deficit.
