[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2316631, member: 506169"] whether keto ( or Low Carb) is sustainable depends upon whether you feel it suits your needs. There are a multitude of different styles of Low Carb, I found that my BG Meter was telling me I needed to go quite low but not necessarily as low as to be in permanent ketosis so I eat between 20gms and 40gms of carbs most days - sometimes less. I would agree that any very low calorie diet is unsustainable, but nobody expects them to be since they are meant only for the short term, after which the dieter is expected to have suddenly developed a healthy 'way of eating' for themselves. For me as a thin outside fat inside (TOFI) T2 diabetic I didn't feel I needed to lose much weight, so rather than damage my resting metabolic rate by using calorie restriction I adopted Low Carb as a Way Of Eating (WOE). There are people in this forum who have been Low Carbing / Keto for over 5years and are in better health than for decades. There is nothing unsustainable about that! [/QUOTE]
