There's a lot of back story involved with this post but basically unless I'm counting calories, and following the ketogenic approach (under 20 grams of carbs a day) I feel like a failure when it comes to weight loss. Weight seems to come off slower, and I've found myself caught up in binge cycles... I will stop limiting my carbs and tracking only calories but I soon stop tracking and constantly binge.... I then go back to Keto and restrict super bad.
I know consistency, and lifelong changes are the goal but I can't shake the feeling when I'm eating anything I want in moderation that I'm still being 'bad' as I tend to make terrible choices when I allow myself sugar.
I'm back on keto at the moment and being really strict. I'm miserable, and I have been for about 3 weeks now, but I feel a binge coming... I'm an all or nothing person in every single thing I do. I stopped visting the keto reddit as I felt some that place triggers some of those all or nothing mindset feelings.
I originally lost 200 pounds via the ketogenic diet and calorie counting (370-170), and then regained back 40 pounds of that which I've started to re lose via keto and calorie tracking. I'm just tired of the all or nothing mindset and I'd like to do things in moderation.
Any tips or suggestions? Also note this is not an attack on the ketogenic diet , It worked incredibly well for me and I'm thankful I was able to lose the weight I did. I think mentally it may have triggered some kind of weird behavior in me, or at least the keto militants contributed and made me feel like I'm somehow wrong for wanting to try CICO alone (unintentionally?).... I just seem to give up before I give it a proper go even though I know the science behind it, and I know it does work.
