Now this is for the person that wants to lose some fat.
After all once target weight is met, then carbs would be added in very slowly at the same time as fats would be reduced.
I added in the equivilant of 10 grams of carbs for about 3 to 5 days then added in another 10 grams, in the form of apples.
I started losing again once I added in the carbs, and the terrible funky smell went away too.
To be honest, the worst thing was the smell, I could smell something terrible when I was sitting. Had a bad complex about that.
Consitpation was pretty bad too.

But, for every 4 pounds of bodyweight I lost on a keto diet there was 1" loss on the waist.

Zone diet was very nice and healthy but I lost 1" for every 5 pounds of bodyweight.

Only diffrence was this.
Keto diet I was about 20 lbs heavier but 10 years older.
I was not useing gear at the time so that was not a factor.
I can honestly say fat loss was superior on keto diet over zone, but I could not stay on it, it stalled at like 6 or 8 weeks.
Zone diet I just kept losing all the way till I got to the point I had to add more carbs as I just kept losing weight.
I was pretty shreaded back then, but I got down to 163 pounds, looked skinny in clothes but great with not clothes.
Also had unlimited energy and actually looked younger.
That is a great diet.
