Comment on What would happen to your body if you only ate 750g of 2% cottage cheese every day for a month?
Skkorm@lemmy.world 5 months agoDid keto for a while preparing for some on-camera work. I’ve never looked more cut and never been so miserable. 9/10 doctors do not recommend. The 10th one has an eating disorder.
I agree on those stats. Don’t forget: Atkins himself died from heart disease. But hey, at least you have the pics to prove it.
Were it me, the potential for humor would be impossible to ignore:
Me: “This diet is miserable, don’t do this.”
Also me: shows pics looking more shredded that a bowl of mini-wheats

I lost 40lbs on keto and after the first week of keto flu, I felt great. No sugar crashes, no energy level drops and overall, more energy than usual. I stopped after six weeks as I couldn’t deal with the lack of flavour and texture in the food I was eating. I reached a good weight that I’ve maintained, 7 years later.
One thing it taught me, was to reduce the amount I eat and to balance things out if I eat more carbs than usual.
