Currently down about 120lbs after 8 years of going up and down. Net loss is 200lbs, given I had some regains over the years. Now, I’m down from 300lbs to 178lbs and ever since I passed 185lbs, I’ve had a lot more oppurtunities with women.
It feels weird, not gonna lie, it just sorta happened out of nowhere. A lot more women smile at me, talk to me, and look at me more. The attention I started getting just feels like a glimpse really. Not massive amounts, but noticably more. I’m still 10lbs away from being done entirely, as I do still look a bit husky at 178lbs.
Though, it’s not just women, but people in general have been treating me better, even strangers. I will finally reach normal weight for the first time ever in the next couple weeks (173lbs according to my BMI) and I can’t be more excited to finally see it!
For those who lost weight, what was it like for you? Did people start treating you differently?
Why is keto unreasonable?
First of all, main and only principal of weightloss is calorie deficit. There is no other nonsurgical way to lose weight rather than from calorie deficit.
Now, keto is unreasonable in weightloss because it’s a low-carb diet. Lack of carbs (primary source of energy for humans) makes weightloss harder because someone on keto would feel less energetic for quite some time due to at least adaptation to said metabolic proccesses. In general, forcing organism to get energy from some less efficient and not-quite-as-good metabolic transformation is something that comes from a belief rather than reason.
I don’t mean that one can’t lose weight on keto. But it does increase discomfort during weightloss which increases the chances of giving up on it.
