Keto Diet with weight loss surgery - What are your thoughts about it?

Hey guys I had my surgery in 2013 5 years out I've gained back about 20 lbs from my lowest weight (210 to 230). I know I have to eat better and thinking about starting this diet for the new year. Have you tried it? Did you like it? Did you not?

  • Yes it would. You would actually be doing something more like the Dukan diet which is low-er fat/low carb. It's still keto. All keto ever meant was that you were in a state of fat burning (dietary ket

  • No it really isn't "super high fat" in the original derivation. Atkins in his original derivation had food plans that averaged between 55-75% fat. That's a "skewed" percentage cuz whenever you take 1

    Perhaps as a precursor, clean out your diet completely. That may be enough to get the ball rolling and ease the transition into Keto. Keto is strict but manageable if you really want to do it. In

But you responded with that advice to @SteveT74, who is post op ....

If I could go back and edit my comment to clarify, I would. I was explaining what I currently follow (pre-op) and how I handle calories. I did mention at the end that I don't know how pre-op keto translates to post-op since most people follow low-fat post-op. But I understand...I'll be more careful.

I tried IF one day several months ago and actually felt empowered that day. However I've been too scared to try it since. I'm ready to give it a try again but have a few questions. When I'm fasting, can I have coffee and water and flavored waters? I assume protein shakes are out but sort of seem to recall that the coffee and waters are ok. Thoughts? Why am I so scared? lol.

You can have anything no-cal during the fasting window.

Thanks. That makes me very happy. Why am I so scared to do this though?

No idea why you think that but there seem to be quite a few people who think that not-eating for e. g. 16 h or so is kind of scary or weird or whatever.

Why do you want to do IF, btw?

I've had regain and can't seem to get it off. I want to try IF to get the regain off again but hope it also makes me more mindful of what I am doing.

Why do others do IF?

There is a whole thread on IF on this board. GreenTealael postet quite a few videos about several benefits of IF despite calorie control. That said, not everyone loses weight on IF because of over-compensating later in the day.

Yeah, I get that. I've been reading this thread for months now. Thanks!

Here's a great thread from my keto community about IF and ketosis https://www.ketovangelist.com/fasting-destroys-your-cells-and-thats-a-good-thing/ Also, Dr. Jason Fung, MD is the be all, end all when it comes to IF. Tons of videos and books https://www.dietdoctor.com/authors/dr-jason-fung-m-d :1311_thumbsup_tone2:

We have a huge thread on IF that includes a ton of Dr. Fung stuff among others.
