[NMCycling] keto diet and training

[John Vance via Bike-racers]

If you're training to compete, keto will tank your training for about a
month until you adapt to the diet.  It appears that you never catch up
after that.

If you're not concerned about that, keto is as effective as any other diet
for losing weight.  That is, it works if you stick to it, and it works if
you don't treat it like magic.  It's just another way to induce a caloric
deficit.  People do overeat on keto and gain weight when they think it's a
license to eat all the bacon.

Try this tool, combined with a digital scale, if you want to ensure
compliance with your diet:
