   resisted caving into cravings 3 different times today. I am GOING to get these last two pounds off. Two more weeks to stop the bread.

     @RustyCrab I've been having good luck just cutting out the carbs. Once I stopped craving them, I started just eating what I do crave. Lost 20lbs or so in 3 months. I don't think it's quite keto because I still drink sugary soda (which I mix myself from european syrup, I will NEVER trust american soda that shit is definitely poison), I think it works just because meat and vegetables (and I don't bother to skimp on the oil or fat) are more filling longer than stuff like wheat and rice.
     
     The point wasn't to lose weight, it was because all this talk from people like RFK spooked me out of eating processed foods and american-grown cereals.

     @RustyCrab Are you following the CICO philosophy? There's a lot of new research making me doubt the idea.

     Explain how you can gain weight if you aren't consuming an excess of calories to gain weight?

     @cajax nothing to do with cravings. I was just hungry 24/7 for months and wasn't losing anything anyway. I got off keto, switched to seafood diet, and started losing again almost immediately.

     @RustyCrab So the cravings for stuff like bread came back?

     @RustyCrab Were you limiting calories?

     @cajax yes but it simply wasn't possible to limit them low enough without constant starving. Keto friendly foods are high calorie.

     @cajax keto stopped working for me when I got under 160. Just made me feel miserable after that.

     That's true, and you literally need carbs to build muscle. I'm js all of the CICO coping is retarded, but yeah you shouldn't be eating processed food esp since meal prepping can be super easy (monotonous maybe tho depending on how you do it)

     @bot @RustyCrab You can't. But your body CAN discharge the excess carbs you eat in a day as energy sources instead of converting them to fat. The current american diet has a bunch of chemical tricks that encourage your body to store them.
