Been following.
Couple notes:
Too much bacon
Too much bread
I would very strongly consider switching to a fruiting/spinach type smoothy for breakfast. You are eating fatty greasy heavy foods right now. You may be eating less than is typical so the weight may be coming off but isn't proper diet.
I would also consider following a program - like Faster Way to Weight Loss.
I agree with you on the bread and cereal amounts.
IMO. Smoothies are terrible for most people trying to lose weight.
The women I know always fall into this trap. Just because it's a smoothie does not make it healthy. Yet they never lose weight.
Eating a smoothie is a great way to raise your blood sugar and be hungry again in an hour.
Totally disagree on bacon or "fatty foods". You can eat mostly fatty meats and be in great shape if you work out and eat an ideal range of calories, don't eat a lot of sugar or simple carbs. I have some form of steak, red meat or pork almost daily. Lowers the hunger as well.
If you're already fat, you don't need to eat fat. Your body has plenty of stored energy. Burn that before you eat more. And that kids is why most people fail at keto diets.
People fail at keto diets, because people fail at diets. It's nothing unique about keto.
The rationality behind eating keto makes sense, but it's hard to maintain. The idea is that your body is reluctant to burn fats for energy, because it's harder. Carbs are basically a direct line to energy, fats take more breaking down, so the concept is to force your body into a constant state of fat breakdown so when you're in a non-fed state you more readily burn body fat.
It's why intermittent fasting a keto can see pretty rapid results if people stick to it, it's just most people fail to stick to it.
Intermittent fasting is probably the most straight forward way to cut calories as it's not a complex decision. It's just eat or don't eat. And people's bodies will adjust.
