From someone I follow in X. Still holding her loss weight as of last month: "I started keto in 2018 weighing in at 251 lbs at 5’6”. In 2019 I hit a stall at 200lbs and maintained that weight +/- 5lbs until 2021 when I began a slow regain until I hit 220.2 lbs in August 2022. I never cheated in that time and was eating carnivore. In August 2022, I asked my doctor, an obesity specialist, for an RX for Mounjaro after reading about it. He counseled me on the pros and cons but felt it could help me. Since then, I’ve gone from 220 to 156 and will fight like hell to maintain knowing the relapse rate is high." A post a month ago in response to a stupid comment about keto being like a fast: "As someone who RELIGIOUSLY followed keto and then carnivore for over 4 years, I can tell you that my food noise, obesity and comorbidities did not resolve until I took Mounjaro 2 years ago. This drug has saved my life." End quote from 5 weeks ago.

How many years should she have "just keep working low carb"? She tried for 4 years…Before she woke up to the fact that LC/keto/carnivore/fasting does not work for weight loss for everybody, especially not for her. She used the medications correctly with her doctor's supportand now maintains a healthy weight with high protein, moderate carb/fat diet, resistance training. If as they indicate in the story, snacks are now high protein, less high fat keto junk on the shelves, we may all get healthier.
