[QUOTE="CROM, post: 168961, member: 16642"] So far my experience with low carb/low calorie dieting (keto) is that it SEVERELY slows down your metabolism. Granted I’ve lost about 20 lbs but I am sure half of what I lost has been muscle. Currently I consume 1500 to 1600 calories per day. Go to the gym 6 days per week (for 26 years). Walk 4 miles 5 or 6 days per week (jog a little of the way) and often do a little exercise at home. Yet I am at a point where I have near zero ketones in my urine or blood when testing and feel hungry all the time. Should I switch to low calorie dense foods that are high in water and fiber…such as vegetables, fruits, cooked whole grains, oatmeal, cooked beans and legumes, nonfat dairy and soy products, and lean animal proteins? Keto is about almost no sugar consumption which means fruits are out of the question. Would trading fat for fruits work better for weight loss? Do you consume the same amount of calories on both diets or can you eat more on low calorie dense foods? Any insight from experience would be awesome. [/QUOTE]
