Ending Keto Diet?

Question

So I'm interested in doing the keto diet for a month or so. I'm currently 5'5 and 136 lbs, I've always been around 120lbs (except when I was pregnant) and over the past 8 months I've gained 16 lbs so I wanted to try keto until I got around 123 lbs. What I was wondering is what happens after ending the keto diet? Like I want to be able to eat apples and fruits. I'll still maintain a good diet but not so restrictive with the carbs.

Answer

Keto is sort of a permanent lifestyle choice.  If you start and go off of it you will likely gain everything back.  It's a tough way of eating.  I've been on it about 3 months now.

Answer

Yeah I’m doing a paleo-ketogenic in diet and thing is you get used to eating better (and less!) and for me anyway I’m really enjoying it now. After 3 months of a strict diet, sometimes I do eat the odd potato chip or small amount of beetroot/sweet potato as it’s all about macros and your ketone levels will always go up and down - AND your muscles can always do with glucose you get from your carbs. 
You definitely won’t put all your weight back on if you come off it, however you’ll probably get your water weight back.
Some people even do a ketogenic-cycling diet I.e. do 1-3 months of strict keto to start and then 2-3 days strict keto, 1 day carb loading, and repeat so there’s options. But seriously since starting keto my skin looks flawless and even my periods have got better. I’d suggest sticking to it. Good luck whatever you choose.

Answer

Try paleo! I’ve bounced between the two and the only thing I’ve found is you will gain a little water weight back, especially if you start eating things like bread again. Paleo was a great transition for me, and you get fruit :)

Answer

Just gonna say....
I started in February.
I dropped from 185 to 140.
So it’s been 5 months.
The last 1.5 months (Mid may to now) I haven’t been able to cook at home (been hoteling after selling our house until our new place is ready).
I don’t feel good when I do dairy, so I avoid that. But I don’t eat great. I snack on Oreos, I have a donut once in a while, and bread is back in my diet.
I haven’t gained back pounds.
I’ve only plateaued in weight loss.
Soooooo

Answer

You honestly won’t gain all the weight back as long as you don’t eat like shit and as long as you make healthy choices. You’ll probably gain back some water weight which is usually what you lost during the first week
