I'm not hear to argue, and am happy to hear all comments and opinions, but if you are saying keto or IF is required to lose weight, than that is not my experience at all. I did lose weight eating casual low carb in the past, 3 meals and two snacks, but for whatever reason, it does not seem to be enough now. As a previous commenter stated, I need to drop the casual and be more deliberate. I'm not opposed to keto, and if low carb doesn't get it done, I will ratchet the carbs down to a keto level. Thanks for commenting.
