i just wondered if anyone is having WL injections as well as following a strict ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting.

I'm not strict keto, but I avoid most carbs, and fast 16 :8 it's worked well, I'm at the end now but will keep to it mostly, adding a few more calories in each week to get to maintainence.

Hi. Is it possible that keto+IF could work so well that jabs aren't needed?

@SecretNameforMN for sure, but it depends how old you are I think, I've just answered another post where I explained how low I had to go with cals being menopausal, nothing had worked before for me because I was simply eating too much even at my recommended tdee, and constantly hungry, also mj works on insulin resistance which is a big factor in losing weight, a lot of people forget that,
If you've already tried and it's not worked for you then go for the mj, if however you think you can go it alone, and cope with the hunger and strictness of it without it, then yes go for that you'll certainly save yourself ££££.

I'm intermittent fasting, skipping breakfast, having protein drinks like Huel for lunch and a meal in the evening, protein bars sometimes. Low carb, not kept though. Have lost 5 stone and about one stone to go. It has made it pretty easy.

I'm sort-of intermittent fasting, since I never eat before 2pm. Though I do drink hot drinks with milk in the AM which will cause a blood sugar spike.

Keto makes me feel dreadful, so I am eating carbs and losing well on MJ.

When I tried IF without MJ, it didn't work! I guess I just ate too much when I broke my fast. IF with MJ works a treat though.

Unless it's because they haven't seen or don't want to respond to my post, it seems that nobody is using MJ or other injection as well as keto and IF.
