Let me preface this with yes, keto does work
That being said in order to do it without ruining your arteries with sat fats, you need to spend, it gets expensive. None of the foods you listed are keto viable either

>>11971796
honestly if you're already working out, just cut out sugar, soda especially. I legit lost 15lbs by limiting my sugar intake and I did it seated firmly on my ass.

If you aint doing physical part time work or something, just fast.

It doesn't have to be "extended fasts", necessarily, some variation of intermitted fasting could also work but please be a man and do at least 24 hours continuously. Don't be an hour-counting pussy, that's not an attitude that gives lasting results.

Some people complain about brainfog and dreaming about food all the time hindering studies and I'm one of them, but you have to try to know how much it affects you.

>None of the foods you listed are keto viable either
Nnonsense. The pasta out, there is surely something keto friendly in the salat bar. Tex mex? The meats are good. A grill? meat and many veggies are possible here.

Also, is there an option of canceling your meal plan and getting a refund back? I recall when I was in college it was a hell of a lot cheaper to buy prepared foods or get fast food than it was to eat in the dining hall. I don't mean cooking stuff that takes a lot of effort, I mean bare bones basic stuff. Surely keto friendly versions of that exist.

Just eat less, you dumb motherfucker. Stop buying into a meme diet because you think it's going to magically cure your lack of self-control.

Eat largely animal products except milk and veggies. They are satiating and auto-control cravings. It is meant to introduce carbs after, not a permanent suspension.

this. fat fucks are so lazy

>>11971796
You could easily do Keto at school. Eggs & bacon, sausage, ham ect for breakfast. Lunch could be salad (Just watch the carbs in the dressing) with grilled chicken, hard boiled eggs, or any protein available. Dinner any combo of things from the grille, Tex mex, & veggies. Salad too. Get some almonds, pecans, & Polly-0 string cheese for your dorm room. I got through dorm living in college because I found a local butcher that sold prepared food. You got really good quality stuff for a decent price. Drink lots of water. I just lost 20 lbs in less than 6 weeks on Keto. Once you’ve been doing it for a few weeks you can even get by on 2 meals a day.

>>11971965
the thing about keto is if you legitimately adhere to its mealplan (and not be some atkins retard) you could forgo portion control and eat until you're full.
granted it still won't fix the underlying cause of them becoming disgusting lard beasts but it's one of the reasons why keto is popular among them.

>>11972888
It's all calories in minus calories out at the end of the day. Keto isn't magic. Saying he can stuff his fat fucking face as much as he want and lose weight is disingenuous.

>>11972927
anon you're severely underestimating how much food it'd take for someone to go over their daily maintenance levels on keto

>>11971796
Just do time restricted eating, started at the end of January and lost about 10 pounds.

>>11972940
I never said it was easy but it can be done. Don't underestimate the average Amerilard.

>>11971822
Also switch to almond milk or just water. Cows milk is loaded with sugar also

>>11971796
too fat;didnt read

dont be a pussy, load of up deli meats, bacon, cauliflower, lightly salted nuts, if you pictch your life stylr change to your rents they shud cover the expense

>>11972940
>>11972979
Also don't underestimate people's addiction to simple sugars.

>>11971796
>want to do keto
>have access to free grill

what is the problem here

>>11971796
Keto works, but in your circumstances I'd do one meal a day or alternate day fasting. Both get you into ketosis for weight loss, just not 24x7 ketosis. But you will lose weight, which is your goal, and you can stick with your meal plan.

>>11971796
Keto worn't make you lose weight unless you eat less. Keto 'works' because it might help you feel more full while eating less but if you binge, even if it's keto, you'll still gain weight

>>11971796
Keto is primarily dairy and protein. Cut out the carbs, vegetables are okay, dairy and protein and water is what you should stick to.

>>11973477
Anon this is wrong. Keto requires roughly 2:1 salad:lean protein with most of your fats coming from nuts. Cheese is okay in small amounts but it should never be a significant percentage of a meal and you shouldn't even think about drinking milk or consuming any other dairy product.

>>11973486
Lol @ certified retard. The only thing keto requires is keeping the net carbs low enough to stay in ketosis.

>>11971896
this is always how I handle unwanted weight gain, just stop eating for a bit and workout a little.

But i've never been anything but average weight, so I guess I can't speak having never been fat.

>>11973491
That's only at the beginning until you actually enter ketosis. Afterwards you're supposed to raise the amount of carbs you eat by a bit which are primarily made up of veggies.
You thinking the diet is just keeping net carbs low is the reason why people also think this diet is really risky and bad for your health.

>>11973444
That's not the only reason it works, but you're right that losing weight requires a caloric deficit.

>>11973505
That's Atkins, you mongoloid.

>>11973510
If you're eating low carb and no vegetables, where are you getting your fiber from? That sounds like an awful way to live

>>11973477
>>11973505
>>11973486
>t. read about keto in Cosmo one time

>>11973514
Name an essential fiber. I'll wait.

Alternate day fasting is better than keto. Alternate day fasting with fasted exercise is even better

>>11971796

I have been on keto for 2 weeks. I am not fat (Started at 145lbs, at 141lbs currently) it's just that I am kinda skinny fat so I want to get lean and lift. My diet consists mainly of boiled eggs or omelettes with herbs and cheese, avocado, various types of fish (mainly salmon though), berries, pistachios, greek yogurt, celery and other low carb vegetables. I have a lot of spices and some super hot habanero sauce which is nice sometimes. I only drink water, black coffee and tea. This requires discipline but what I find is that I am not hungry much and have no desire to stuff myself with carbs. Don't get me wrong I look forward to things I have planned to eat when I am done but no longer do I eat because I'm stressed out. A lot of the processed crap actually makes me feel disgusted.

Literally just fast. I'm on day 4 and planning to break it tomorrow

>>11973514
WTF does fiber have to do with ketosis? You sound like a vitamin deficient vegan.

>>11973544
I don't enjoy shitting out rocks

>>11973549
Good grief >>11973517 was right, you've never actually done keto have you?

>>11971796
This is an image board. Take some good large photos of these offerings. Contribute. Don't just frogpost

>>11973565
I have, I purchased keto sticks to piss on and got high levels. Maybe you're just used to a low fiber diet but once you eat a high fiber diet, it feels great. Shit just slides out effortlessly.

>>11973596
>keto sticks
Jesus fucking christ I hate you

>>11973596
>vegetarian confirmed
Fuck off faggot

>>11973596
>keto sticks
Wow what an expert.

>>11973602
I made pulled pork tacos and drank whey milkshakes today. I just eat a lot of vegetables with my meat. Carnist vs vegan are fucking stupid

>>11973606
It's nice to know how many carbs you can eat while still having ketones in your body

>>11973611
>whey

>>11973614
Wow must be nice to be able to pee on a strip BY CHOICE and not forced to by your parents your entire childhood
FUCK YOU

>>11973618
Why are you mad though, I didn't do that to you

>>11973625
Because those strips weren't made for you to diet on, they were made to make sure I didn't have to go to the hospital

do intermittent fasting, its what im doing right now, i started july 16th this past year, and have went from 275 pounds to 197 pounds, i still have 22 pounds to reach my goal though

>>11973649
Congrats on the progress

>>11973635
People who use them for dieting had no effect on your situation. That being said fasting > keto.

Try fasting

Easiest and fastest way to loose weight, and it saves you lots of money. Fast for 48 hours drinking about 1 liter of water every 24, eat around 1000 calories within a 2 hour window, repeat until you're not fat. If youre hearty you can go ahead and try for longer fasts but anywhere beyond 72 hours I recommend taking electrolyte supplements

>>11973614
Ketone strips are designed to catch diabetic ketoacidosis where the ketone levels get into the high teens and 20's, and that's all the manufacturers care about, they dont give a shit about accuracy, just that high ketone levels show up. They are laughably inaccurate at the ketone levels you get on a keto diet, their only virtue is they're cheap and readily available, and ketolarpers like you are too fucking ignorant to know better and keep touting them for checking ketone levels. You may as well claim you're in ketosis because your breath stinks, its roughly as accurate.
ketone sticks are a dead giveaway that you dont know shit about the keto diet and are just spouting shit from Cosmo or Teen.

>>11971822
Simple carbs turn into sugar.

>>11971896
I agree with this. Work you way down to OMAD with a 24-36 hour fast every so often. Best way to save money.

>>11972927
> calories in minus calories out

It's not that simple.

>>11975458
>>11971896
How many times a week do you recommend 24-hour fasting?

>>11971965
It's a lot easier to eat less when you're consuming primarily fat, as it's very sating. A spoonful of peanut butter will curb my appetite in the morning. But if I go near any kind of pastry, cereal, whatever, I'm always left hungry afterward. Yell willpower all you want, the body is a machine.

>>11973529
Fasted exercise is king.

>>11975475
You can do it as often as you want. 1x p/week...2x p/week. The more you do it the more comfortable you will get and you will find yourself fasting for even longer.

>>11975485
This so much. I find that when I have less carbs in my meal and way more fat I can go days w/o eating afterwards. Just Wednesday I made a pork belly bulgogi and cooked in butter. Also, cooked the veggies in butter. Coupled that with nuts + cheese + dark chocolate it filled me up pretty good.

I also recommend seltzer water to help make you feel full, too, while fasting.
