So true!

~180K members of that subreddit. I guarantee you, if you cut your carbs to below 20g/day, you will lose at least 3lbs a week (no exercise required).

3 pounds a week is pretty unsustainable.

Edit: Since I got curious and followed a bunch of other studies, here's a cool calculator based on some of that research and the (admittedly flawed) NHANES data

It is sustainable when you're carrying excess fat. Your body will eventually reach an equilibrium. Each body is different, YMMV, etc.

that what called (by /r/keto people) "lazy keto". which works only for some people. and for me, for example, doesn't work. You still have to monitor intake (again, said by /r/keto people) It is just easier to avoid hunger and energy losses while being on keto diet.
