      Does the calories from burning fat give you the same feeling/effect as the calories from burning carbs

        I'm not sure what "feelings/effects" you're talking about? I don't actively feel the calories burning off throughout the day on a regular cutting diet. The overall effect of losing weight is going to be the same so long as you are in a deficit, keto is not magic.

        I have to assume you're asking how each approach (regular deficit vs keto deficit) affects your energy and mood while losing the weight, and that's a personal calculation that only you can answer by trying it yourself.
        Does adherence to a keto deficit make you feel substantially fuller than your choice of balanced deficit? Depends on your body. Is that worth the hassle of turning down every meal that you encounter with carbs in it? Depends on your schedule and living circumstances. Does it work within your budget and time considerations? Do you really enjoy certain carbs that would cause you to have a worse mood if you had to give them up, or do you not really care for them?

        The best diet is the one that you can personally stick to. If you try it and like it, then go for it. Personally I would hate to do it and I think that most people align with me. My overweight aunt is doing keto now and she's fine with it, but her vice has always been snacking on salami and cheese, so it's not hard for her.

        Not really keto resets a lot of your hormone production levels and other things like that.think of it like how fasting buffs your immune system by destroying it. You are basically resetting your metabolism and wiping a lit of chemical production settings clean. Keto shouldn't be used as a diet to live by, just a tool to being your levels back up periodically.

            but that's wrong. Glycogen supercompensation is proven to occur but you need eat approximately 10-12g/kg bw of carbs for ~3 days prior to the activity you need the glycogen for. Glycogen depletion does infact occur with a low carbohydrate diet. Not sure why you're saying otherwise.

      How is it miserable? You still can eat the best food (meat)

      Does the calories from burning fat give you the same feeling/effect as the calories from burning carbs

      You burn both fat and carbs daily already. Ketosis might change how your muscles behave a bit though, since you have no glucose for them and will have to use fat

      Ketogay here. You actually can't eat as much meat as you think, and when you do eat meat it needs to be fatty. Too much protein will also kick you out of ketosis, or at least keep ketone production low. You'll just use protein as energy. This is why the typical "1g of protein per lb of bodyweight" idea is moronic, because most of that protein is converted to glucose and used for energy. People really overestimate how much protein you need to build muscle. Hence why there was that one poster who got fit just by rock climbing and eating a ketogenic diet. Protein should only be 20% of your daily calories. Also, vegetables are totally pointless, I haven't eaten a single vegetable on keto.

      there's really nothing wrong with it. The only thing I miss is fresh fruit and milk, but I can make do without it. I eat a shit ton of bacon, eggs, and dark chocolate and I'm very happy

      Does the calories from burning fat give you the same feeling/effect as the calories from burning carbs

      At the end of the day, losing fat comes to calorie expenditure. However it does take more calories to digest fattier foods versus carby foods like rice, however minimal this effect is. The main benefit about the ketogenic diet is it controls hunger very well, whereas simply lowering your calories on a normal diet leaves you starving all the time

        Gluconeogenesis is demand driven. Eating more protein doesn't kick you got of ketosis. Staying in ketosis is about one thing: Not eating carbs. Period. You can eat nothing but protein for a while and maintain ketosis. You can eat nothing at all, and the fasting will put you into ketosis.

        Fat does a very good job at increasing satiety over time. So does protein. Protein also had a higher thermogenic effect than fat, so your point of digesting fat taking more energy is moot compared to protein.

        All that said, I'd been doing keto for over 3 years, and currently doing carnivore with "high protein keto" macros (5/35/60). No issues in maintaining ketosis. I'm just sick of seeing keto people practically afraid of protein due to a misconception about gluconeogenesis. After you've been keto a while, up the damn protein, or you're going to lose a lot more muscle than you should.

        If pretty much any of the armatard shilling in the last few months had been anything other than pure cope- this would not be necessary. And it is completely inconsistent with the idea that they are trying to preserve good will or infrastructure etc. with the populace in the course of an easy tactical and well executed operation.

      Take any news coming out of Ukraine with a grain of salt, but it wouldn't be an entirely strategically bad decision on Russia's part if they did.

      Wheat shortages due to the invasion has already had a huge negative impact on the world. Ensuring it stays that way would continue to pressure other countries to pressure Ukraine to come to the bargaining table.

    this absolutely contrary to your first question and pretty vague but I'm going to assume you mean "without cereal grains, diary, or nuts" because what is and what isn't a vegetable is some reddit tier argument.
    Yes tubers can easily replace carbs from grains, fat is where it gets a little tricky because your only real sources are animal fats if and with butter being "dairy" . You can always use pre-rendered products like tallow, chicken fat, or lard.

      Correct. Most posters who defend Russia simply distrust the media which is fair as they've been more than happy to air Ukrainian war propaganda. But justifying war that way is ludicrous. Ukraine is shale oil rich, runs some Russian pipelines, and is geopolitically advantageous for Russia to exert control over and that justified Putin's calculus to harm massive amounts of civilians and soldiers. To the Kremlin the result is simply picking the lesser of two evils but of course it was picked selfishly.

    It's easier without the vegetables since your stomach will shrink to a normal size and you won't have digestive issues. But yes it's easy to maintain calories in such a way. The only drawback is it's more expensive, but really food should be a high priority.

    I've been zero carb since 2017 and when I first started I worried about all sorts of stupid thing, like I thought I wouldn't have any energy, or that my muscles will disappear, or I'd starve. All that happened was it became WAY easier to control my weight and maintain muscle mass, and digestive issues disappeared overnight.

    A small caveat is that if you go low carb you should do it in the context of high quality animal foods and NOT with keto bars, keto ice cream and keto junk food generally. "Keto" is a way for grifters to sell you products. There's nothing magical about ketosis, it's just something the body normally goes through in various times of the day. The focus should be on food quality and avoiding modern foods, not on ketosis. If you eat properly, you will naturally fall into large windows of ketosis.

      You must not be doing keto right if you think it's expensive. You get to cut back on meat, and eat a bunch of fat which is high calorie. A jar of coconut oil is $10, which will last a long time and provide a shit ton of calories. And when you do eat meat you can buy the cheaper, fattier cuts like pork belly

      Maybe at first, but once your hunger adapts (assuming you have the willpower to obey your hunger signals and over-ride that ingrained 3-meal-a-day habit), you're basically doing OMAD by accident.

      Also, there's tons of cheap of Keto options. Brisket, for example. $1/pound if you catch it on sale.

    If you're >20% BF, you could literally eat nothing and "maintain daily calorie intake".
    My personal favorite diet is PSMF during the week and eating at maintenance on the weekends. You lose a frickload of weight quickly (~800 calories on weekdays, ~2000 calories on weekends), maintain muscle, and don't destroy your social life this way because you can go out to eat or to BBQs on the weekend.
    You only really need carbs if you're competing or bulking.
    You only really need fat if your hormones start to crash.
    There are plenty of ways to lose weight (and they're all CICO in the end), but I think this is the autist min-max way.
