Keto diet for girls?

[Jess1020x]

I'm a 21 y.o girl trying to lose 20 pounds. I've tried different diets and I was losing weight, very very slowly. So I decided to tried keto. Today is my 2nd day and I'm feeling great, no carb or sugar cravings, no keto flu.

I've been watching a lot of videos on keto diet on YouTube and realize most of those YouTubers are guys, bodybuilders. And the female YouTubers who talk about keto diets..... aren't really thin or fit. I don't mean it in a bad way.

So I'm just wondering maybe keto is a great diet for only guys and bodybuilding?

It'd be nice if girls can leave a comment and tell me about your keto weight loss results.

Thank you.

No, keto diet can work for anyone. It's just that it is commonly used for high performance athletes, so that's where you see it the most. I've played with the keto diet and I'm no where near a body builder. Just make sure to tell your doctor that you are doing it. It can be dangerous, so your doctor should know what you are doing (and most likely won't recommend continuing).

It's also something that needs to done long term to get the benefits. You probably aren't in ketoses yet if this is the first time you are doing it. It takes a few days (or longer) to get into full ketoses. Have you bought any testing strips to be sure that you are in ketoses?
