    Yeah it’s pretty wild considering how fervently people buy into it, but if you’re an evidence-driven person keto is not particularly attractive for weight loss unless you just personally enjoy it.

    Scroll down a bit, we already have someone who swears the magic is real (and CICO isn’t) because they lost weight on keto, and their partner estimated their calories to be waaaaaay higher than before starting the diet. It’s a very compelling narrative if you come into it wanting keto to be true, which is why there’s almost like a religious fervor built up around it. But it’s never played out that way in an actual study

      My body loves Keto, as I have some strange non-diabetes sugar issue. But vegan keto is insane.

      My point was just tallying food calories in is a shit way to be as reductionist as the pic is being.

      Drinking straight olive oil while not being on keto is not gonna go great for weightloss, but is fine on it.

      At no point did I say the CICO diet doesn’t work but go off I guess.

        Right, sorry, to correct my mistake, here is what you actually said

        CICO is flatout not the mechanic used.

        My sincerest apologies for so severely misrepresenting your words. Have a good rest of your night with your olive oil shots
