Is keto the superior diet?

[Anonymous]

In 2024, in 12 days I lost 16.8lbs eating a keto diet, where I've only lost 12.4lbs this go round eating a normal diet in 12 days.

So do I need to go back to eating keto to lose weight faster or continue eating a more sustainable diet?

I want to do the one that will ultimately have me stick with it vs lose the weight quickly only to gain it back like I did in 2024.

I have a lot of weight to lose. Like 206lbs to lose.

I would like to lose it in a year.

I know that will require lots of cardio and weight training as well which I have started doing as well. But I know diet is the most important component to losing weight.

If you can lose 2 lbs a week while staying healthy that would be very rapid. I wouldn't encourage you to lose more rapidly without medical supervision. the 4lbs a week you are suggesting could be dangerous.

At my weight, I need to lose rapidly as possible. At least for now.

Yes, i do not do a strict keto diet but seem to lose more weight when I eat more protein.

The superior diet is the one you can sustainably stick to while meeting your specific health requirements, so there is no 'superior' diet per se.

I’ve never tried it how about the South Beach diet?

I've never tried the South Beach diet or know what it entails.

It sounds a lot like Keto in the beginning of it. You cut out carbs almost completely. I wouldn't want to do that again.

Ok I understand

Depends on your genetics but it is a good diet generally if you actually know what you are doing.

Nope.
