Hopefully the title isn't too misleading. I have been eating Keto for a couple of months now, and after the initial bit of weight loss (now 7lbs), I have found that I have been more stable now or on a weekend even occasionally gaining a little weight, even eating keto.
One thing I have noticed is the argument going around that it's all about calories in vs calories out, rather than the carb intake. I have also seen the other side of the argument in low carb equals less insulin, so lower fat storage and weight loss. Surely it's a mixture of both though? I added in some nuts, and probably was having 2-300calories of the stuff each day without realizing as it was only about 4 or 5 at a time, but built up over an evening. This has probably led to a plateu in weight loss, so once I take them out, and cut the keto bread to minimum on a weekend, the weight starts to come off again.
So, I guess my main question is, when somebody is wanting to lose weight, should it not be pushed to reduce carbs, but also to reduce calories, rather than some posts I have seen that you can eat a large amount of fat?
Thanks.
