Thank you, Johannes! Haha I totally get it, carbs are delish :)

Hmmm, I would say that because it takes time to deplete your glycogen stores and actually get into ketosis in the first place, it seems to me that sticking with keto a little longer would be most beneficial before returning to a more normal diet with a calorie deficit... I think that going through the process of getting into ketosis can be sort of uncomfortable, so if I were doing it I would want to make it "worth it" by staying on keto AND creating a caloric deficit for awhile, hopefully prioritizing the burning of my body fat for as long as possible before adding back in more protein and carbs... But I think that staying in a caloric deficit should theoretically produce SOME fat loss regardless of macronutrient breakdown, so I guess it would just be kind of a matter of preference!

Interesting question!! How did that experience affect your friends? Did they have a positive outcome?

Thanks for your comment and for reading, as always! :)
