Looks like there's research out showing keto burning more muscle than regular diets

So why bother with it then? Every study I read myself shows the "lbm loss" column larger AND disproportionate to the other diets. How tf can a PSMF diet even possibly work as advertised? The only reason it works at all is because it has some calories. You'd be better off just sticking with the same 30/30/40 proportion everyone sane uses and just halving your servings lol

Any evidence this isn't the case? I've used low carb in the past and did not like it.

To make matters worse, nearly every study brags about keto burning more visceral fat than the other diets while IGNORING the obvious fact that this means it did not burn as much subcutaneous fat lmao.

I went full Keto once and wanted to die, even after the "flu" wore off. Now I just keep my carbs moderate and I cut them down when I cut. I never go below 100 grams/day anymore

PSMF isn't keto, tho.

Percentages aren't always optimal for macros, either.

It's better to meet your protein and fat minimums and then fill in the rest.

I went anorexic last year on keto (it was my fault to keep going though). Don't do it lol. No reason to ever starve yourself when cutting.

Never understood why people do it, at the end of the day it's cals in vs cals out. Carbs play a pretty big role in the human body, Japanese and Italians live until they're old af and they consume tons of carbs.

I have a friend who's like 225 lbs at 5'4 doing keto, he's lost 25 lbs in a month which is good, but that loose skin is gonna hurt. I tried telling him numerous times that it's not for him but he's still doing it
There and back again twice, a deep red's tale.

Macro ratios are the most over rated thing ever. What matters is protein and calories in calories out.

I like about 50g of carbs a day because carbs+trt make me bloated and I don't like that

Keto is kind of retarded but whatever

I'm skeptical, there's also research showing a flimsy piece of cotton over my mouth can save lives too.

This guy gets it.
You don't feel like you're starving because your body may be eating it's muscles?

The studies I've found also do a tier 1 chit fuk job of controlling for demographics that would impact results such as age, sex, etc...

Why are all nutrition studies like this lol?

brb 30 people

brb all old people in one group

brb claim keto burns more belly fat because of young people

brb now the data looks like keto burns muscle when you look at it yourself

PSMF works because your're cutting fat over a short period. you're more likely to lose more muscle the longer you're cutting, psmf will work so long as you lift heavy and keep your protein intake up
