In this blog I’m going to share with you one of my experiences with the keto diet and why I’ll never do a keto or low-carb diet ever

And yeah I was not experienced with keto or low-carb diets and didn’t know the pros and cons of it

The first few days of keto were fun because I lost a lot of weight which was only water weight but the real problem is along with all that water I lost all the electrolytes

Most importantly sodium, because sodium holds the water

On top of that, I made the huge mistake of overconsuming plain water

Which led to more frequent bathroom breaks and I lost a lot more electrolytes

Now you must be thinking ” But what’s wrong with that?” well I got muscle cramps, serious cramps all over the body

And one of the things I realized was that I was avoiding the real work which was to be in a calorie deficit

The reason I started keto was I believed or let’s say I wanted to think that you are allowed to eat as much as you wish during keto without caring about calories

And that’s an escape, an escape from reality

So the point of this blog is to highlight the importance of all the macronutrients and not to eliminate any of them

The basic math I would recommend is from your total calories, you should be consuming 50% carbs, 30% protein and 20% fats

This means, if your total calories are 2000 then you should consume 150g of protein, 22g of fat and 200g of carbohydrates

How to calculate this on your own? Protein 1g=4 kcal, Carbs 1g=4 kcal, Fat 1g= 9kcal
