Yes I thought that was a lot in a short time too. I still think most of mine is because I feel like crap with no energy and i'm not eating as much. IMO the weight loss is less about keto and more on the lack of calories. I'm giving it a few more days before I switch. I really wanted a diet that let's me eat bacon, pork rinds, and brisket!

My sisters are in a 2 year "Keto" medical study. One has lost 100lbs. plus. The other 80 lbs. They both are off all their meds....Cholesterol, diabetes, blood pressure. They still have a year to go.

There must be some dietary component that gets them through these issues that folks seem to bring up; or I suppose it could be a regional based genetic predisposition.

Are there people on this diet that are not having to supplement? They get what they need from basic food and meals within the diet's constraints? It still baffles me that your body somewhat fights against this mode and yet it is considered a good place to be.

Felt miserable most of the time. Lot of headaches, muscle cramps, and low energy. Still got 40-50 pounds I want off so sticking with it through the weekend and trying supplements to see if the headaches go away. If not I'm moving on to something else that doesn't keep me feeling like this.

Going to not take Ibuprofen tomorrow and see what happens. Probably shouldn't use a full mio electrolytes thing in a day either but I am tired of these headaches and cramps. I'm sure lack of energy is a side effect of both those.

It doesn't take much to see that diets vary a lot by region. That is why I don't instantly dismiss certain diets per-se. I was just getting too curious about all the supplement chatter that I had to ask. I'm not a supplement hater either. I am supplementing protein at the moment. I am doing quite a bit of strength conditioning and my body needs some extra protein and it is easier to make up a quick shake with whey powder, milk, and chocolate syrup for a recovery drink. Now, I could get that protein by just drinking more milk, eating more lean chicken, yada, yada, but I do like the shake. It tastes good.

You're correct. Some cultures have been eating what they can for hundreds of years and that, is what their bodies have adapted to. I use the supplements to avoid the keto flu and to ensure I get an adequate daily amount of vitamins and minerals because my greens intake is not up to snuff. I also believe we are a more knowledgeable society and educated on proper nutrition.
Another reason I like keto is the amount of protein I have to take in is less than, what I used during the conventional low fat diets. I do miss some of the protein shakes but the side effects are rather off putting.

Sticking to a diet has little to do with calorie in/calorie out...
You put me on the same calorie deficit level diet of a non-Keto vs a Keto diet. I guarantee you I will be hungry, HANGRY, and ready to be off of the non-Keto diet within a month. Having done it with Keto, I don't miss the calories, I don't have cravings throughout the day, and I feel significantly better throughout the day... I don't want to quit this diet at all, and that's after 35lbs of loss. Typically, I get 8-10lbs into whatever diet my wife drug me into and get tired of starving all day. Then I quit and yoyo back up.
It is a pretty powerful thing to find a diet that easily lets you lose weight, makes you feel better than normal, and keeps you from being hungry.

Once your body adjusts and the hunger cravings are no longer there it is easy to maintain your eating in check. Prior to going on the Keto eating plan, I could eat a pan of food with bread or tortillas just to have cravings an hour afterwards, even with my stomach still filling full.
