[QUOTE="Matt Leiser, post: 86435, member: 15454"] No shit literally LOL. For me, no as I always ate a lot of veggies. My problem was always the amount of starches and added sugars that accompanied the veggies. I didn’t just start a keto diet. I started just by cutting down carbs but learned how to replace them and what worked for me. I realized early on my protein was too high so I cut it back and figured out how to work in the fats. Then read about the keto diet and figured well since I’m already half way there why not try it. I have heard stories of people making a complete 180 and just start keto and have problems with digesting the increased fats or processing the 7 to 10 cups of veggies a day when they didn’t eat any before hand. I didn’t experience this since I made the change over a few weeks. I think personally since I gave myself time to adjust I had an easier time overall and sticking with it. Candy and soda were never much of a problem, but the pizza, bread, pasta and beer took its toll. Since I was always a savory person I still get to eat savory food. I don’t feel like I am missing anything. It took me a little time to wrap my head around 70% of my calories should come from healthy fats since it was beaten in to me since I was a kid that saturated fat will kill you and cholesterol is bad. I know this diet isn’t for everyone but I can’t argue with the results. 349lbs to 286 in 6 months. [/QUOTE]
