Good info from Lyle.

Having done this I can tell you that Lyle overestimates how many calories you need.

A Keto diet is just like any other. Creating a calorific deficit causes you to lose weight. The difference with Keto is that the theory tells us it is muscle sparing compared to a balanced diet. You be the judge.

The practical application is that you do not feel hungry when keto dieting, unlike balanced dieting. The downside is the monotony of eating all that fat and protein drives you up the wall eventually!

Most people try CKD or a variant for a few cycles (say 12 week cycles) and then gradually realise a balanced diet is always best.

A worthwhile experiment. And you get to look at purple Ketostix with your pee on them every day!
