Is Keto the best diet for burning fat? Currently at 13% BF and

Keto is worse for burning fat than other diets because carbohydrates help prevent muscle catabolism. Carbohydrates also ensure maximum muscle performance which means the workload can be higher which also preserves muscle.
Keto is a reddit meme for idiot lardasses who can't put down the memes and the bacon and butter

any deficit is fine

keto tends to be good at controlling fat people's hunger, though

I saw a study somewhere showing that the group on keto lost more weight than the group on a normal calorie restricted diet, but the extra weight loss was basically water. lol

You need carbs and you are healthier at around 8-9%

no, but if you stick to it you're bound to lose some weight since it's quite hard to eat that strict and overeat, plus the lack of carbs helps control hunger. But there is nothing magical about keto that makes you lose more fat than on any other good diet with the same amount of calories, and the lack of carbs makes high intensity exercise less productive.

Yes Keto better than low fat for loosig weight in the short terme (till 6 months). But dont forget Keto is harder to maintain and restricts you choices of food heavily

it's not better. it has been proven to be exactly the same as other isocaloric diets. the only extra weight loss comes from water weight because you don't eat carbs, but that comes back when you start eating carbs again.

>this whole thread talking about carbs being "essential"

holy broscience /fit/, goddamn, never change

No. Carb cycling is waaaaay better.
Still, keto is much easier to follow in the short run, but impossible to mantain in the long run. Just do a round of keto for 3 weeks and see how it goes.

If the keto flu is too much for you or ir your lifts sharply decrease maybe ketogenic diets are not for you. Just go for a deficit with any macros you like.

On the other hand, if keto doesn't bother you, you should do your homework and try a few carb cycles. It's a pain to plan, but it's completely worth it.

>>this whole thread talking about carbs being "essential"
uh, sure, buddy.

>>39584355
there are essential amino acids
there are essential fatty acids

that's it

your body can produce the few carbs it needs

>>39584237

relax.

99% of all these fatasses are 7% higher bodyfat than they think.

so his 5% goal is more of a healthy 12%.

The 'keto flu' symptoms can be pretty much avoided with enough electolytes and water. Lots and lots of both. Can't avoid the early shits though...

>>39583971
try it and find out. hating keto seems to be the cool thing to say around here but it's legit

5%bf is unhealthy AF

would recommend also doing ostarine or LGD or such at the same time, which will let you achieve your goal faster with less/no muscle loss. Otherwise you'll be in for a hard time.

>>39583971
13% is great why do you want 5%? Just keep lifting,get stronger

Keto is shit for performance, but it's one of (if not THE single most) best muscle sparing diets there is. It's the one thing it has going for it.
