I regained 18 of it A few months after release and want it to go away. One of my doctors and nutritionist say the weight gain isn’t just due to fat but rather muscle regrowth. However, I still want to go back to the size I was when I was released because I feel some of it is fat. I used the Ketogains calculator to figure out my macros again and it says 145g of fat and only 85g of protein. Would it be ok if instead I did 130g of protein and 100g of fat?

Don't cut back *too much* on dietary fat. My point is really only that when you are having a hard time losing weight, there is no need to intentionally add a lot of extra fat to your food in order to reach some magical ratio/percentage or "macro." That's not hos keto works when your main goal is fat loss. (And how much weight are you trying to lose? The less you have to lose, generally the more difficult it is. The more weight you're trying to lose, the faster it generally comes off -- at least at first. So if you're talking about just the last 5-10 pounds, it might take a while.)Tuit Nutritionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708859914305178756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-58675094042290032032019-12-22T17:06:53.282-05:002019-12-22T17:06:53.282-05:00Amy, THANK YOU for posting this!

I was limiting myself to 1,200 calories a day and working out 6-7 days a week yet seeing no results. I completely feel it is because so many Keto articles focus on high fat and not even high protein. I am restarting a combination of Keto and Whole30 right after Christmas and reducing the fat intake by a lot, instead working on protein. Thank you again because it better explains the issues I was facing.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584140094533796529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-52327302200823727752019-08-28T09:54:54.393-04:002019-08-28T09:54:54.393-04:00Hi Amy,

This is somewhat irrelevant to this particular post, butI would like to know if you have found any research papers(not garbages ones from uninformed news reporters)that compared low carbohydrate diet vs extremely low carbohydrate diet(which we call keto, <20g net carb). I think I might have read one that compared the results between the two which concluded that there is no difference in long term but perhaps you might have more information!aaaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17154832016381210349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-65896609168506664692019-03-28T21:54:05.881-04:002019-03-28T21:54:05.881-04:00*Shrug.* Sorry...I'm not an expert in what the...*Shrug.* Sorry...I'm not an expert in what they do.

I would recommend a PSMF only in cases where someone seems to be doing everything right on a "regular" low carb or ketogenic diet and isn't getting the kind of fat loss they're hoping for, or for someone who, for some reason, wants/needs to get body fat off *quickly* -- with the understanding that the PSMF is intended as a *short-term* thing. For the specific purpose of fat loss, most people can benefit from increasing protein and decreasing fat a little bit if they're already low carb, but they don't need to get down to the crazy low levels of fat intake and total caloric intake that a PSMF typically calls for.

Grea...Oh my goodness...sorry you went through that. Great that you lost weight, but that isn't the way you would have wanted to go about it. This is such a problem in the keto world now. This fearmongering around protein is entirely new and entirely unnecessary. In the past, low carb diets were never about limiting protein, and they don't need to be now -- *especially* when the goal is fat loss.<br /><br />I wrote a very detailed article about hair loss on keto for another site that will be published soon. I'll try to reply here when it's out and send a link. But it;ll grow back. It's just an effect of lowing a lot of weight in a short time. (Hair loss because of this is very normal and not uncommon...happens to a lot of women on keto. It'll grow back, don't worry!)

I have been doing Keto since April 2018 and have lost 44 Lbs. (I am a woman at 5'5 and 55yrs.), all at the expense of my muscle being lost as well. Unfortunately I was using a Macro calculator that had my protein at 50g/day or less, and my calories about 1000 per day, 20 net carbs all from non-starchy veg, and trying to add fat to everything but still keeping calories low was such a difficult task. I felt it was low all along for calories and protein, but I persisted through all of the interrupted sleep and excessive night thirst, leg cramps. Quite a lot of my hair fell out and now I have a lot of loose skin. But I have lost all the weight I need to! I just want to let other people know if you have these symptoms you NEED MORE PROTEIN. Switch to the macro calculator she recommends. I have recently started adding in more calories now at 1400 or more, and Protein up to 80g day sometimes 100g. I feel so much better and have not gained any weight not starving, in fact am trying to maintain, and it is actually harder for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10985157986422342052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-23959059648765164202018-12-08T14:11:47.760-05:002018-12-08T14:11:47.760-05:00*misleading*misleadingTuit Nutritionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708859914305178756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-28024400401691691552018-12-08T14:11:24.772-05:002018-12-08T14:11:24.772-05:00Generally speaking, when you read the FULL TEXT of...Generally speaking, when you read the FULL TEXT of these kinds of studies, rather than just the abstracts, or how they’re reported by the media (including Science Daily), they turn out to be the weakest, most horrible, abject GARBAGE masquerading as “science,” and the researchers should be ashamed of themselves, second only to the reporters who create sensationalist and MIDLEADING clickbait headlines to either scare or entice the public.
