It never fails. Anytime a keto thread happens on a public forum for curious people just asking about what people eat and their experiences, it gets invaded by a number of skeptics who simply feel the need enter a thread unrelated to them to tell people their own beliefs on diets in general, and tries to dumb down everything to a calorie deficit.

There's no point to argue against those people who clearly have a closed mindset that this is a gimmick. It's almost like if they want to come to these threads to disrupt for the sole purpose of destroying the subject in principle.

No one brought so called 'pseudo science' (or actual science in most cases) until a few came in just to call the diet a gimmick, or post a brainless calorie intake deficit chart as if people are too dumb to understand the concept of diets.

Guess what? Running and exercise can get you in a weight loss process (aka calorie deficit)
Guess what? Having a restrictive diet can get you in a weight loss process (aka calorie deficit)
Guess what? Cutting sodas and solely eating veggies can get you in a weight loss process (aka calorie process)

You aren't telling anyone something new by blabbing about this.

The difference being, keto helps with hunger that tends to happen with most diets and making it easier to stick to for many. Those who have done it, and got past the initial setbacks and side effects, usually can attest to this being a personal experience.

Those who have also tried intermittent fasting, will attest that being hungry will happen but you will get in a fasted state where you don't even feel like eating. Whatever works for people, if gluten free diet gets someone tot heir goals and can live a lifestyle of it, all the power to them. If someone is running 5km everyday, eating a bowl of fruit and yogurt and a bowl of oatmeal, an gets to their goal and can live a lifestyle out of it, all the power to them.

This is a thread about keto dieting.
