Im a believer in keto now that Ive tried it.

Good for busy people who dont have time to do cardio and wanna burn fat.
Even if you only go slightly below your daily calorie intake, the effect is much more noticeable.

Regarding going keto and gaining muscle, no problem at all.
You can do both.

I dont wanna lawan sifu, but just from my experience. Proof in the pudding, ppl told me they noticed my growth.
I tried it in the first place cos someone suggested to me.
He has allergic seasons and his hormones would go haywire afterwards
he fix it by keto diet for a while or so he said.
And ppl who are diabetes also practice it under doctor supervision etc.
I didnt listen that well, just picked up a few here n there.

Im not sure about the mechanism also, but I made sure I get enough nutrients and only slightly go below daily calorie intake or dont even go below.
No starving, dont feel hungry. (instead always feel full cos milk/cheese and oil aha )
Diet doesnt mean starve. Diet is just what you eat.

Im an ovolacto vegetarian in the first place anyway, so I always look out for these kind of things.

Before this my rambo method was eat a lot, and burn the fat away by exercising.
Didnt work that well.
I was underweight > 80kg > 65kg.
Gained a lot of fat, not much muscle.

Now around 60kg, but Im going steady gaining muscle and losing fat.
I know cos my butt is a good indicator lel.
Relic from my 80kg excess eating was my butt, somehow that part is really hard to burn off.

Its your body, so its your decision. My personal experience, this method is better for me compared to the calorie excess and exercise.
I think the human body is very adaptable. I feel like going keto just makes your body change "fuel type".
If youre doing strength training, your body wont just stay the same just because your diet is not optimal or something.
If you have the required nutrients, then your body will grow.
Lift weight everyday, eat enough but just cos keto diet wont gain muscle? Dont think so.

It might be less optimal, but to what degree, no one could say with absolute scientific certainty.
Probably not for everyone. Most ppl would prefer the "tried and true" methods.

One thing though, the menu could get boring.
But I like making caprese. Never get tired of those.

Yeah whatever works best for you. Different people different preference.

But Im actually having problems doing OMAD. My appetite is normal, no hunger.
My problem is cos it's one big meal a day, and I already feel so full halfway through.

Im quitting keto next year. I miss pizza too much.


Btw I dislike measuring progress with weight lost. Waist size or physical appearance is a way better indicator.
Each week see abs more defined. hehe. That's good enough for me.

I found out this after looking for a keto place to eat around KL.


Pretty expensive though.


For me, my body doesnt have any problem adapting to almost anything so far.
Went straight one meal a day no side effects.
Even for fasted weight lifting. I guess Im lucky that way.


The problem for me and most ppl are probably sustainable lifestyle for long term.
That's the part that we have to figure out on our own.
