My drunk inhibitions wouldn't let me do Keto

Granted, I still stay in pretty good shape and exercise regularly, usually stretch each morning and do a quick 30-40 slightly elevated and wide-spread pushups (hand distance as spread out as you can, does well for the entire upper body) and 30-40 inclined bench situps - then about 3 times a week I go to the gym to do some basic machine workouts, and some form of cardio between incline treadmill, elliptical if I have some work reading I am behind on, or the ladder machine we have which I really like

Not sure why I am going through all this but figured I might as well

Congrats! I know some folks in the legal field, and passing the BAR is no small feat!

Anyway congratulations!!

Thanks guy - I had a conditional hire position lined up that I was working part time at, so it was also nice because if I failed I'd also be fired haha

Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled Keto training (apparently that is the thing around these parts now)

You can Keto if you stay away from the beer and stick with the clear hard liquors.

One plus is you get buzzed much quicker on Keto, makes it much cheaper to enjoy yourself that way if thats your thing.

But as I've said before, Keto is hardly necessary. Is it great for fat loss? 100%, but if what you're doing works for you, keep doing it.

I have never and will never put any of my clients on keto. It's not good for your body long term. Hell it's not good for your body short term.

There is literally nothing that supports this.

Just to clarify: Yes, some people are genetically dispositioned to not respond well to Keto and will see their lipid profiles just skyrocket on it, but thats a small portion of the population.
 
I feel (and look) better on low-carb diets. Keto is not for me simply because I find it too restricting.

This is the key.

I too feel and look better low carb, but I'm not a ketovangelist either. I think its easier to stick to things long term once you realize that you don't have to be militant to sticking to certain rules inside of any "diet" or eating style 100% of the time.

I keep my carbs pretty low on most days (higher if I'm going to do something crazy rigorous) but sometimes, I just need to crush a pizza.

A huge chuck of dieting is mental. I try to tell people it's more of a life style change than a diet. That way its easier for them to let go of all this garbage they love so much because they realize that this isn't something temporary it's more permanent. Which is also why diets shouldn't have so many restrictions. Rather a good diet is flexible with how your body operates.

Some people don't have the self control to do anything that isn't restrictive.

I'm all for balancing things out and trying to be as nonrestrictive as possible, but different things are going to be ideal for different people, whether that be mentally, metabolically or physically.

Low carb diet is what I'm doing. I'll have carbs in the morning and 1st lunch (i have 2 lunches) and lay off the carbs after that. Have looked into keto and it did look extremely restrictive.

I'm pretty dilligant 4-5 days a week to keto, but the weekends I let loose. Ice cream, pasta, pizza, fries, etc.

Why do you cut loose on the weekends? Kinda wastes the 4-5 days of keto because you are back where you started.
 
I don't do any restrictions, but I do control myself. Ice cream, a couple of bites instead of the whole pint. A beer, not two or three. Freedom fries, yes, but once in a while.

Because I want to enjoy myself. Depending on what I eat, it could spike me 4-5 pounds, but my body is getting better at handling the spikes. I probably overstated what and how much I'm eating. I do cheat on the weekends but not like I'm going to the chair. Plus I still do intermittent fasting, and will occasionally do one meal a day.
