    The one thing i don't like about it though is the completely loss of vascularity which makes you feel like your gaining weight and/or water weight.
    *It promotes binge eating.
    *It makes for an acidic environment inside the body.
    *It is usually a short term solution to a long term problem. If you eat the right foods at the right time you can incorporate quite a few carbs in your diet and still stay lean.
    *Much of the weight which is lost is water. Just ask anyone how much weight they put back on when they introduce carbs back into their system.
    *They leave you very flat most of the time. The number of bodybuilders running keto seems to be decreasing and the ones that still do almost always have a tough time filling out.
    *Most of all I dont believe it's healthy.

    I could definitely see that and just the making you very flat turns me off about it. I HATE THAT SOO MUCH.

    BUT my BF isn't that low as it is, so i cant necessarily blame it on that when my BF isnt even at a level anyone would expect me to see veins.

    Would the gaining weight issue still be prevelent if one does a cyclic keto where carbs are introduced back once a week? What do you think about combining/rotating this with a low carb diet? i.e week of keto a week of low carbs or something like that! Or perhaps combining with a 40/30/30 diet or a 40/40/20 ?

    What type of diet do you think would produce optimal weight loss results?
