Agreed. There are a few things in that article that definitely rub me the wrong way and I'm someone who has had great results leveraging ketosis. I've also had great results by plain ol' calorie counting.
I can lose 15-20 lbs
in a month through calorie counting and exercise (and I literally just did this over Christmas, in fact.) I can lose 15-20 lbs in a month by incorporating keto and exercise. Both work for me. In my experience, keto takes less discipline on my part because the trade off of carbs is softened by incorporating more fat and protein which I like. I feel full longer, my energy stays high, and I don't
feel like I'm restricting myself necessarily because in what world does eating bacon or steak feel restrictive? Not mine.
