Understand once and for all here: Keto is not a low calorie diet .
First argument: you are coming from a diet whose main macronutrient, carbohydrate, has 4 calories. 1g of carb has 4 calories.
Now, you will move on to a diet whose main macronutrient, fat, has 9 calories. 1g of fat has 9 calories.
Will you be able to maintain the same amount of energy consumed per day? No. 9 is more than double 4.
Second question: your brain alone consumes 600 calories a day.
Just thinking and breathing, you have already expended the amount of calories you ingested in the day.
What is the minimum number of calories I can eat at Keto?
I searched for a minimum number, because I knew you were going to ask me that.
I went to countless sources. From Dr. Phinney to Dr. Boz, there is no mention of a Keto with less than 1,400 calories daily.
Not satisfied with the theories, I went to practice, calculating my own number of daily calories.
I put my data in several macro calculators:
- I did the calculation by tasteaholics
- By the very simple Keto Summit calculator (be careful, because the desired weight they ask for is in pounds)
- I used Perfect Keto’s advanced calculator
- The Ruled.me macro calculator
And so on. What matters is that, complex or simple, they all gave the same result: from 1350 to 1500 calories per day for my goal: lose between 300g and 500g per month.
Notice carefully: I am the person who needs the least calories to survive.
- I’m already at the right weight.
- I don’t practice physical exercises, despite being very, very (VERY) active.
- I work in front of a computer.
- I’m 36 years old.
- My genetics is the demon.
- The only thing that saves me is that I work with the brain. I really hope he’s working out mad as he thinks and writes all day.
What I mean by that is that I received a total of 1,400 calories a day (and as more than that, I admit), but you will probably receive a higher total.
If you are not at the ideal weight, if you are more active, do some physical exercise anyway, you will need more calories per day.
take the opportunity to fix some wrong numbers that I passed in the video. As I did not make a lot of mistakes, they do not harm anyone, I will not remove the video from the air, but note the correct numbers below:
A woman arrives at the doctor’s office.
She comes from a low calorie diet and needs to lose 30 pounds. the woman enters the office dragging her foot on the floor and speaking very slowly, because she no longer has the energy. Falling hair, malnourished system. It was 6 years with 800 calories a day. The person was a remnant of being human.
