When I last looked up the literature, Keto diet was one of the least effective interventions.

That is, if you follow it, I'm sure it works.

But the vast majority of people drop out of keto diets very quickly. So it's lousy advice and an unsuccessful intervention.

It's a bit like saying to a patient "you gotta sacrifice -- you should doing 3 hours a day of cardio". If they do follow through with it, it will work. But the vast majority of people won't be able to maintain doing that.

I started keto in June of 24, lost 50lbs and added a compounded version of Ozempic in November to get through the holiday season with a little extra help. I'm on a fairly low dose, 50mg/week, and it's working tremendously. I've lost another 25lbs up to now and it's about 10x times easier to stick with keto, macro logging, and calorie tracking.

I feel like even with keeping my calories to about 1500/day I'm just fine, and the cravings for sweets and over indulging just aren't in my head.

I'm happy you have found something that works for you but the diet tribalism on this site is getting old. At least it's good to see the initial Keto comment getting downvoted to oblivion.

I don't think there are any studies yet combining keto and glp inhibitors. At least I can't find them. So yeah, you get personal experiences.

> I'm on a fairly low dose, 50mg/week,

50mg is a huge dose of Ozempic. 2.4mg/week is common.

Apparently I didn't math the math, I'm taking 1.25mg/week. I was measuring in units (.01ml) and the concentration is 2.5mg/ml.

There are different keto diets.

The epilepsy version is indeed hard to maintain, but can be life changing (increase life quality in epilepsy, bipolar, schizophrenia etc)

The T2D version is way easier. If you studdy it or get a coach, you will know all the pitfalls. But its like therapy, you need to want it yourself. Cant be forced into it.

Do you have any study or literature to support your claim? Because you answer a factual comment with a random thing on my mind comment
