Hello, I was wondering what you guys think about the keto diet?
Keto is high fat, low carb, and a decent amount protein. Vegetables are optional. Most people only do keto for a few years and then revert back to their normal eating habits after they get the health results they wanted,...
It is easy to maintain a lean physique while eating low carb, high fat, and high protein diet or keto. What are the downside of getting most of you calories from fat and protein and essentially neglecting carbohydrates?
I see a lot of people having success combining IF and Keto. Are there successful IF weight loss stories out there that did not involve keto?
TLDR; I'm doing Keto+IF+calorie counting for weight lost for a surgery I may be having in 6-9 months. Learnt a lot about my eating habit just committing to IF that I wasn't aware of when I was just zombieing through...
I’ve had success losing weight in the past with IF, OMAD, 24-36 hour fasts, CICO etc. During those periods of weight loss I was in ketosis at least according to the keto strips. Based on that I do think my body...
How is it working for you?
I've had awesome success with keto, but I've been at a pretty discouraging plateau for a couple weeks now, and I'm thinking of giving IF a try to get me out of my slump. Before I got pregnant with my...
I’ve been on keto for 4 months now and I’m feeling great and just love how much energy I have on this diet. Since a week or two I’ve added intermittent fasting, 16/8, to see what it would do to...
Basically the title but I’ve been more or less doing keto with lower fat meats and staying under my calories that I need for the day on my refeed days. Does keto improve weight loss while fasting or does it...
Last year I experimented with Keto and I loved it. I was able to control my hunger and I felt satiated a lot of the time. I was doing this as a means of controling my diabetes. Then I got...
I recently came across a YT channel by Dr. Eric ~~Burg~~ Berg that got me started with a game plan related to intermittent fasting and a diet change. However, I have read that he is a Scientology donor and generally...
I lost 100 lb from a strict keto diet back in 2014, but I didn't specifically try fasting in conjunction with that until now. I'm 22 lb over where I was when I originally lost weight and I want to...
Hi all, I've been doing intermittent fasting for a couple of years now. Both during keto and with carbs. I do OMAD and it benefits my lifestyle and schedule. The difference I noticed with fasting on Keto and on carbs...
I’ve been fasting for about two months now for pre-diabetes. Yesterday I went to a heart health event sponsored by work and when they did the blood glucose check, my glucose was still high despite the fact that I was...
Hi everyone! I just recently started to do IF. Since im only eating 2 meals a day,im planning to switch to Keto diet which is mostly fat 70% and some protien. The ones who did Fasting + Keto how was your experience?
TL;DR: Has anyone else felt good while doing IF + carbs, but hungry when doing IF + keto? Should I go harder on carb-reduction, or put the carbs back in? I started IF in college, I would swipe into the...
Have specifically been doing 20:4/OMAD/ADF for last 2 months, and love it. I finished a 72-hr fast and remembered I have a bunch of ketosis urine straps in the cupboard just sitting around, so I used one -- and my...
I'm doing a 23/1 and reading sites and watching videos. I'm confused about two recommendations. In a 23/1 where you only eat one meal, make it a big meal. Thanksgiving dinner is an example of a big...
Thought I’d share my stats and notes from my journey thus far (which I just collected from some scattered scribblings and text messages I’d sent) also which include some fluctuations, in case someone can benefit from seeing them. I’m...

HI, I'm A Dietitian (RD), who's been experimenting with fasting for many years. I have been on a plant-based diet for the past 8 years, but recently reintroduced fish and meat into my diet for a 3-month trip to Peru...
I've been doing IF (18-6) for couple of weeks plus strict keto for every meal. Only water and coffee during fasting. Cw: 176 SW:190 Goal : 165. I'm very happy with the results so far. So it's beginning to be tougher and tougher...
There are many different forms of fasting. There is the 16/8 diet, alternate day fasting, and more. One of the more extreme versions is called one-meal-a-day (OMAD for short). This diet consists of individuals eating one very calorie-dense meal daily....
I’m female, 22, 169cm, 67kg I was doing omad and keto last month, then I got my period and stopped the diet cuz I wasn’t feeling well. I felt dizzy especially when I’m laying down. The condition continued after my period...
I'm interested in a weekly 24 hour fast because I recently did one and really enjoyed it. I lost 25 pounds over five months just counting cals, not counting macros. However, now I've been at a plateau for months. I...
I'm on a plateau. 5"9/185, goat 175. I generally do 16/8. I'm on a plateau. For grins and giggles, I picked up some keto piss strips, and I'm pretty deep into keto...
I’ve lost 18 lbs in 8 days. Not carbs at all. Fasting for 3 days, then eating bacon in the morning and fasting for 3 days and so on. For some reason I still don’t have pink keto strips. Is...
M 33 5’ 9” 185lbs. I started keto in July and did it for 3 months. I lost 15 pounds and then gained 5 back as soon as I stopped. Keto was fine but difficult for me to do any...
Hi all, I’m rocking the 16:8 and sometimes 20:4 and getting in long walks in prep for starting running again. I’ve been trying to do Keto....but I eat too much fruits and vegetables, and I love homemade bread haha. I eat very...
Hi guys! I'm 5'9 F SW 280, CW 250, GW 180. I am doing alternate day fasting and keto and am having a SUPER hard time eating enough calories. I chose keto because it makes a big difference in the...
I’m considering breaking my fasts with a keto diet for a couple of days to keep more ‘gains’ I’ve realised after breaking my past fasts properly, I just end up binging and probably losing any of my gains / ‘rewarding’...
I've seen Jason Fung say that keeping the refeeds in between rolling are best kept keto. I'm a vegan. Does this mean I should just eat a lot of avocados and then go back out into the next rolling fast?
I've been ADF for a few months and have maintained weight while gaining strength like crazy - eating without calorie counting and with carbs as much as I want. Strong and lightest I've ever been. It's great! However,...
My main goal for fasting is to lose weight. I’ve started a rolling 48hr routine with 1500cal refeeds. I’m not that active due to bad knees so I’m leaning towards strictly keto. Will going purely keto be that much more...
I’ve started a rolling omad routine with 1500cal refeeds. I’m not that active due to bad knees so I’m leaning towards strictly keto. Will going purely keto be that much more effective as opposed to a regular meal with carbs?...
I’m new to fasting. I am considering 16:8 to get started. From my research I’m seeing a lot of info on the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. Do you have to be on a keto diet for intermittent fasting to...
Will I be able to go back to eating carbs and sugar after a short period of being on keto? I also want to clarify that if I were to reintroduce those foods, I would be eating in moderation and...
I'm not a nutritionist but it sounds *too* restrictive. It's pretty just mushroom, avocados, soy, and nuts.
I'd like to try a 24h fasting once per week for a while to lose weight, but I'm hesitating to go keto. From my previous experiences I've found keto to be very efficient for short term weight loss, but every...
So for some backstory, I started keto and found out about IF through it. Ngl keto was great and IF was so easy for me since I used to unknowingly practice it before and also do fast for religious purpose....
So, I have been starting intermittent fasting and I usually do a 16:8 fast. Do I have to be on keto to see real results? I try to watch my diet and eating habits. Thanks for any advice even supplements...
I'm a woman in my late 30s, average height, 140lbs currently. Looking to get back to my pre-pandemic weight of about 125 lbs. I don't use a scale normally but I can tell that I gained pandemic weight because my...
I'm not getting the answer I'm looking for when trying to research this. Most fasting articles tell you ramp up, start with an 8-12 hour fast, then 16 and so on. After a few weeks, you can do longer fasts...
In the last few years, I have really struggled to maintain a strict discipline in doing keto with IF (or OMAD which just came naturally after some time). **\*Warning Long Post\*** In 2019, I was working hard in the...

I ate a keto diet for a long time and now I do Weight Watchers; my trainer thought I needed something more sustainable because I had some hinges on keto. I do a 60 hour fast once a week and...
Currently doing rolling 48s. It’s going great. I do Keto redress of roughly 1500kcal. I’m 1,9m and at 84.7kg and workout, therefore the high calories, makes it sustainable for me. During my redress I really crave some carbs. Can somebody tell...
Hi, i started with 121 Kg on 180 cm and got with keto to 80 Kg. The problem ist that i restricted the also the calorieson keto. Now i do IF with Keto. Monday to friday i eat once a day...
Last week I fasted Sunday night until Friday Morning and then ate Keto during the weekend. I thought that would give me some sort of benefit during this week where I plan to do the same regimen. However I’m unsure...
I used to do extended fasts (7+ days) a lot but haven't in a while. I don't eat a crazy amount of carbs normally but definitely not in ketosis.. should I ease into it by eating keto for a few...
What’s a good schedule you recommend for keto and IF paired together? I usually work out in the afternoon. I’ve done 23/1. It’s the most efficient for weight loss for me. But I have a hard time eating everything in...
Does anyone use a keto testing kit? Would you make a recommendation? IF turns the body into keto mode. But I never know when. Some say between 12 to 36 hours. Testing to know for sure would be nice.
Since you're not allowed to talk about 'cheats' on /r/keto, I figured I'd talk about them here. I've been on keto for about 10 months now, and had some great progress. When I added on OMAD IF, I lost a little...
Just curious what the positive and negative is of this and if its intermittent fasting? I do nutritional ketosis... I guess 7 days a week and generally eat 3pm-9pm 2000ish calories. I started doing it once just to...
My husband and I have recently started to Intermittent Fast and I also throw in OMAD 1-2x/week. We are also doing a very low carb diet. I’m trying to stay under 20 carbs while he is trying to stay under...
Like the title says.. those of you who've tried just full-time keto before (as in, eating regularly, even if its just OMAD), do you lose more weight fasting than you do just on keto? I know for some people it's...
I am starting IF BUT would not like to go Keto. I strength train 5-6 days of the week and run fasted 4-5 times a week. Would still like to incorporate carbs in my diet. Has anyone had success with...

I started Keto + 20hr IF last Sunday. By Friday, I was coming in with a GKI at .5 (47mg/dL, 5.1mmol/L) just before breaking my 20hr fast. I'm about three hours away from downing 16 (garlic parm, chipotle bbq, and...
Can you fast with Keto? I was going to do >1000 lbs for 3 weeks with Keto. It’s awful, I’m not denying that, but I have some urgent life callings I need to attend do, making this necessary. Need to...
I just realize that I’ve been looking at diet and fasting all wrong. For someone who is able to do 72 hours a week of dry fasting it doesn’t make sense for me to be on a ketogenic diet anymore. The...
In the past I have done keto, atkins or low carb in general with excellent results. This time, because my cholesterol is quite high, I decided to do IF and I do 18:6 (two meals at 12:00 and 18:00) or OMAD...
Starting out IF is not as easy as it sounds...let's be honest. I've been doing this for 2 weeks now and some days are better than others; so here's my question: How do you overcome the cravings? ...
Hey all! So I have briefly done Keto in the past and really enjoyed it. I had initially done it to fit into my wedding dress but now I'm ready to go full time and commit permanently. The problem I'm running...
So, I've been tracking every bite and every sip for about a month now. Been doing 16:8 IF with strict keto and maintaining between 1300-1800 cals a day because technically I shouldn't consume less than 1800 cals while breastfeeding. I...

I (M39) have been doing intermittent fasting for the last 6 months, with a reduced carb intake. Managed to lose about 25 pounds, after which I stagnated. 2 weeks back I started doing Keto with IF (16:8). I have been...
It seems like most people here advise keto when not fasting, I'm sure that works for them. But curious if anyone doesn't restrict carbs at all? My story: I was ~slightly~ overweight by about 40lbs. Was 190/6'0.5/ in 2019 with...
I have been “fasting” for 72hrs then one keto meal at 8pm then another 72hrs of no food. I do however drink keto coffee(butter, collagen,mct oil) every am. About 200kcal. Then water and keto electrolyte water throughout the day....

I’ve been doing rolling 48s on strict keto for the past week now. Between the 24 and 36hr mark I’ve been feeling an overwhelming urge to eat carbs and things with sugar. Are these just withdrawals from being addicted to...

I hear advocates of keto and fasting say that over time your body can become "fat adapted" and get more used to burning fat over carbs, even if you return to your previous diet. Is there truth to this? And...
Hey babes, I'm very new to the work of fasting and I'm so excited that this sub was created the week I decided to investigate more! From my reading so far, it seems like the first 24-72 hours of a long...
