Also r/keto on Reddit, very good source.
But in short, reduce carbs to <50g per day, (I do 20g) increase fat intake and have moderate protein. Ensure your hitting your Protein goal, try not to go over your Fat goal, less is even good.
Still on Keto with OMAD (1500+ to 2000 cal meal) for the most part unless I get super hungry. If hunger happens I will just eat split keto meals up in the day, or have a 25 gram protein shake with a tbl spoon or 2 of EVOO for fat in the A.M. I have also been getting away with some chili with beans at times for extra fiber since I know what my carb threshold is. This might been the easiest "dieting" I have done. Keto works well for me, but this has been the easiest without worrying about meal planning and other shyt. I'm usually not even hungry until late evening, so I eat around 6-7pm. I'm working out less than 1hr with Max-OT (4-6 reps per set) and 30 mins cardio post workout for fat burning & more importantly heart health being 40.
Donated blood yesterday after the gym and my bp was 106/60 after a month on keto. I had chili and mad water preworkout so I didn't pass out or anything when donating. I'm usually fasted pre and post training. I was hungry today and ate a whole Walmart rotisserie chicken ($4.88) with boarshead gourmaise chipotle mayo (publix deli).
Will have mashed cauliflower (sour cream and chives) with some fatty meat, (pause) later on. The mashed cauli by birdseye been my saving grace. Can eat 2 whole boxes for dinner, but I just do one. Has about 9 grams of fiber total. I also use psyllium husk and get another 15+ a day.
My cheat meals are less wild if I have one. I ended up trying Cauliflower Crust Pizza from Pieology with various meats, shrooms and pesto instead of marinara. Carbs ain't even super crazy for the whole pizza, about 72 in total. My boy was super fat adapted, eating 2 a day, 3x a week and still in ketosis.
I didn't weigh in this week, but I know I'm down 15+ since Jan 5th. Another 2 months I should be lean (abbed up) enough to star in Baywatch 2

Did Keto religiously last year for about 7 moths and dropped 60 pounds with no exercise at all (Was working full time in the day and full time student at night).
I laid off the diet and gained back 20 pounds.
Late last month I decided to get back on the diet but this time I've added exercise at least 3 times a week.
Right now I'm doing the diet the same exact way I did in the past (which I honest should adjust because my numbers were based on no exercise at all).
When I work out I run a mile and then lift weights concentrating on one area (arms one day, legs another, chest another, etc. you know the basic stuff already).
The tough part is I work full time in the day and part time at night (I'm running my own business part time until it generates enough income to be my full time job...I'm almost there) so the only time I have to workout is in the morning, so I'm in the gym at 5:30 am - 6:30 am.
Back when I did Keto the first time I just wanted to slim down, now I'm looking to slim down a bit and get toned. No major bulking up goals, I just want everything looking and feeling right.

Yeah this diet is amazingly effective ice So far. I lost 10 lbs in like 2 and half weeks.. I was 210, and wanted to lose like 20 lbs. I might ride this wave to 175 though. I just worry about gaining back water weight

This exactly what I say to people, diet is KING, killing yourself doing cardio everyday is not optimal
Keep it up

This is my current situation. Friday was the 1st day I could get around on just 1 crutch so I went to the grocery store and got rid of my junk food over the weekend. Started keto today. I still can't workout though because I can't bend my knee cause I tore my PCL too. When I get off this other crutch I'm gonna start walking either on the treadmill or outside since I won't have bend my knee much.I just want to give it a go for about 6 weeks to cut. Gained some unnecessary weight during my ACL surgery recovery.Ate like shyt because it was more convenient.
I'm still hitting the gym, only cardio I can do is a bike. I just need to get focused on a better diet.

Has anyone tried taking it to the next level and doing carnivore (meat only)? I've been seeing some interesting results from other people just doing animal based diets.
I mean....I'm pretty much almost there at this point. I'm doing Keto and eating mostly ground beef, eggs, some cheese, butter, and low carb (6 - 8 net carbs depending on the size) tortillas.
When I get tired of ground beef I'll have some chicken and on rare occasions I'll cut up some sausage
for lunch. I try to get some vegetables in there as much as possible but most days, my diet ends up being 90 - 100% meat. I've been working out at least 3 times a week (mild cardio and moderate weight lifting) and I've been seeing great results on the scale, and my performance in the gym has been increasing in pretty big strides.

Bought the urinalysis test strips and tested myself. I have a high trace keystone based on the test optimal range. I’m officially in the deep end of Ketosis 
.
One thing I know is when I get off this extreme 20 carb diet it’ll be already for me to have a moderate low carb diet of under 100 or even 50i can wait for summer time.
Might make this a annual diet around this time of year starting in February. That’s perfect for right after all the holiday party’s I’m fukk up my body with
and give me time to get my body right for summer

and give me time to get my body right for summerStopped by my day 1 homie's work when I was in the area. It's one of the friends that you may talk to a lot but never see that much depending on life. Haven't seen him in over a year.
Dude was shocked how lean I was now. He is also doing keto, he is on it yearly because he is one that thinks he over eats carbs, but I'm a lot more structured with Keto at this point, tracking everything.
He is the type to roast you with jokes if you looking larry, like a stick or just anything else in life, but he was actually complimentary
shyt kicked me into overdrive
This is def the best I know I have looked, without really trying.
(30mins low volume 4-6 reps weights /30mins cardio /Keto+Omad/IF)
I'm at the point now where I'm up at 4:50am, hit some pre/caffeine, then hit the gym after nature calls
Weekends, my gym opens at 8am so I am sitting here snoozing off and on for hours.
The Omad is still in effect 5-6 days a week. I can even get by with 1-2 cheats a week now, but not doing any for the next few weeks unless my weight is dropping too much.
