[QUOTE="SirLance-alot, post: 2365522, member: 537817"] Thanks Resurgam. I'll agree with you that, on the Keto diet, I'm not hungry, per se.... but I'd say that I am "bored". Breakfast options, in particular, seem limited... and snacking seems out of the question - even carrots and celery are apparently not so ketogenic ?!. I like that you say I'm in an "excellent situation" - from my point of view, newly diagnosed, it does njot seem to excellent, and I did not recount my experience in order to seem in any way pleased or smug - this has been a really big deal for me, as an ardent Foodie.... I'm doing my best to deal with it constructively, but I predict (am CERTAIN) that I will fall off the wagon in the next few days, and buy a bottle of wine, or a fish and chip supper :-( So - you never restricted calories ? You see, that whole conundrum still baffles me. I have been told that the key to controlling many things - Diabetes (which I have), and Sleep Apnoea (which I have) - is reducing your BMI. Reducing your BMI, unless you can manage to grow taller, means reducing your weight. Weight loss comes from burning more calories than you take in. Exercise actually burns very few calories, so your best bet is to take in fewer. Fat is high in calories. A diet high in fat does not help calorie intake reduction, therefore should not help with weight loss. And YET - on my Keto diet, over the past 3 weeks or so, I have lost about 6 lbs. Not a lot, but probably healthy and sustainable. Is a successful Ket diet progam DEPENDENT on high calories ? It doesn't seem to be, in my experience so far, but high calories seem inextricable from the basic principles of the diet itself. [/QUOTE]
