Considering the KETO DIET?🤔 Click the link in my bio☝️ for everything you need to know🤗 (health effects, what to expect, training and lean gains on #keto, getting into ketosis, even beneficial supplements)! Or go here ➡️➡️➡️ https://www.noexcusesnutrition.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-keto-diet/ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Overall, keto *can* be very effective for fat loss, but it’s NOT magic - you STILL need a calorie deficit to lose weight📉 and you STILL need vegetables, lean protein, and anti-inflammatory fats for overall health.🥬 You also need to consider what’s mentally healthy for YOU! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve done keto twice✌️ myself and followed up with #reversedieting to get well over 300g carbs daily at one point.🍞🍠🥞 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve also used keto to help multiple clients lose weight in a short amount of time (typically sedentary, significantly overweight). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ☝️HOWEVER... keto is not necessary or even beneficial for most people and here’s why: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1️⃣ A low carb, moderate carb, or even high carb diet can also work with the proper CALORIE DEFICIT, 2️⃣ Keto is not sustainable for everyone!😩 While there are more and more keto options, you’re still cutting out entire food groups (grains and starchy vegetables). 3️⃣ If you STOP doing keto, you have to transition carefully (I help my clients with this) or you’ll gain the weight right back.😟 4️⃣ It can lead to a skewed perception of what’s “healthy” or not, an irrational fear of carbs, and over-restricting and under-eating if we’re not careful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉When choosing an approach to reach your goals, keep in mind whole body health, mental health, and sustainability. ASK yourself, “Are there any health risks?” “Am I creating a healthy relationship with food?” “Can I do this long-term?” Because if you can’t, the results will only last as long as you can stick to it. 💯 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Controlled research studies to support my points are listed at the bottom of the article #ontheblog.🤓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Learn something?
