CVVG7's Journal, 07 Aug 24

After consulting with my physician I decided to follow the “Banting” / keto diet even while breastfeeding.

I was sceptical about the hype of it but the results speak for themselves.

- I’ve lost weight in the first week
- I have more energy than I’ve had in a long (even with a 12m old running around!)
- I have no cravings! Promise
- By the end of the day I am still satiated from my first two meals so I don’t eat. This helps if you consider intermittent fasting along with the diet.

LCHF is the way to go for me!
63.7 kg Lost so far: 2.2 kg.    Still to go: 9.2 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.
Losing 1.9 kg a Week

Bear in mind initial losses will be the depletion of glycogen stores and associated water loss, once you reintroduce carbs the likelihood of rebound is great. A balanced diet with multiple small meals and a deficit will serve you better in the long run - responsible eating habits.

I'm not trying to put you off but just from my experience and I also tried keto and banting..a balanced meals and being in a calorie deficit is the way to go...I have lost 30kg and this is the only way for me. I wish you all the success

My initial 40kg weight loss was LCHF - 40/7/53@1500kcal. I was sedentary when I started and my training evolution would have been far easier if I used carbs, it took far more cognitive bandwidth to do and no one tells you you're going to be skinnyfat when you're done. So I had to then bulk for muscle mass gain. When I reintroduced carbs initial weight gain was 4kg. My muscle conditioning would have been far better if I stuck with carbs. Hindsight, it's 20/20.

Each to his own I guess

It works for me too! Just counting calories never was enough for me. I will stay low carb for life (been 6 years and going strong 😁)

I'll always be skewed toward Carbs, coz I workout, after Protein is sorted wether you swing toward fat or Carbs is just preference, figuring out habits that work for you is part of the fun. Best wishes 😁
