Stupid question but is a lettuce wrap from carls Jr considered keto ?

I’ve been on keto for 4 months now and I’m feeling great and just love how much energy I have on this diet. Since a week or two I’ve added intermittent fasting, 16/8, to see what it would do to...
I’m just over halfway through a 7-day water fast and woke up with what I have to assume is keto rash all over my chest and back. Is it safe for me to continue fasting?
In your experience, what fast length do you start to get positive results from the keto test strips? I've read that 16-18 hours should start going into ketosis but started testing after 18 hours and it's not registering anything.
Got a lot of questions about the benefits and cons of these two diets, so I thought I'd do a write-up comparing them. Feel free to add thoughts, comments or concerns.

I've seen Jason Fung say that keeping the refeeds in between rolling are best kept keto. I'm a vegan. Does this mean I should just eat a lot of avocados and then go back out into the next rolling fast?...
Hi, I've been doing keto for the past 5 days (don't plan on stopping any time soon, I've done keto a lot in the past). What difference will it make starting a fast whilst already doing keto? Will I lose...
Most of potassium rich foods that I can think of have carbs.
How could you help recover muscles, while on ketosis? Unless isometric workouts would play a role in muscle recovery, I’m not sure. Any help?
I’ve noticed some folks saying that after their 5 or 7 day fast, they will do an OMAD and eat keto. This will allow them to keep off majority of the weight that they lost during their fast. Is there...
Like the title says.. those of you who've tried just full-time keto before (as in, eating regularly, even if its just OMAD), do you lose more weight fasting than you do just on keto? I know for some people it's...

I’ve lost 18 lbs in 8 days. Not carbs at all. Fasting for 3 days, then eating bacon in the morning and fasting for 3 days and so on. For some reason I still don’t have pink keto strips. Is...
Does anyone use a keto testing kit? Would you make a recommendation? IF turns the body into keto mode. But I never know when. Some say between 12 to 36 hours. Testing to know for sure would be nice.
My keto strips expire in one month. I'm on hour 60 of fast and still showing no ketones. Could they be expired early? Or another reason?
Can you fast with Keto? I was going to do >1000 lbs for 3 weeks with Keto. It’s awful, I’m not denying that, but I have some urgent life callings I need to attend do, making this necessary. Need to...

I know, it depends! But I would really appreciate hearing personal experiences with weight loss while intermittent fasting —comparing lbs dropped while sticking to keto in your eating window vs eating carbs in your eating window.
Just curious about it and I want to know, For People doing a regular Plan not Keto ... etc Thanks an advance
I still eat carbs, like potatoes, bread, chips, rice, pasta. Yet I’m noticing my breath is getting worse, especially right now where I haven’t ate for 18 hours. I floss twice a day and brush for two minutes. Is this...
I'd like to try a 24h fasting once per week for a while to lose weight, but I'm hesitating to go keto. From my previous experiences I've found keto to be very efficient for short term weight loss, but every...
Currently 42 hours into my fasting and yet the keto straps claim that I am not in ketosis. Any idea why that could be?
Any suggestions for this routine? Thinking this would be a great way to shed fat fast and might try it soon. I’m 6 ft 4 inches and 290 lbs, just to put it out there.
A couple of months ago I went up to 40hr fasting on only water. I got what they call a keto rash. Upper body all red, warm and itchy. I got scared and devoured high carbs. For context I am...
Last week I fasted Sunday night until Friday Morning and then ate Keto during the weekend. I thought that would give me some sort of benefit during this week where I plan to do the same regimen. However I’m unsure...
Like what are some substitutes for the things you can’t eat on Keto, like ice cream, rice, bread, etc?
I am aware of the specific kind of bad breathe you get when your body is in ketosis ( I usually get it 14 hours into fasting) and currently following a 18:6 plan). I was wondering if the breathe will...

Just looking for opinions on which people have found more effective for not only weight loss but also maintaining that loss.
Hi all, I've been doing intermittent fasting for a couple of years now. Both during keto and with carbs. I do OMAD and it benefits my lifestyle and schedule. The difference I noticed with fasting on Keto and on carbs...
I currently weigh 141lbs at 5’2 and I have a goal weight of 110-115lbs. I’m thinking of doing 5:2 fasting with keto on refeed days. I know it’s different for everyone but I was wondering if anyone more experienced at...
What is more benefitial in your opinion? I’m comparing two situations: 1-you eat moderate amounts of carbs/fat/proteins and fast occasionally for 24-36 hours. 2-you are on a strict keto diet but you never fast, so maybe sometimes intermittently like 12-16 hours but...
My main goal for fasting is to lose weight. I’ve started a rolling 48hr routine with 1500cal refeeds. I’m not that active due to bad knees so I’m leaning towards strictly keto. Will going purely keto be that much more...

So currently ive been playing around with range of different fasting times and periods to try and find the sweet spot between doing longer then 24hr fasts (48/72's) with rolling OMAD keto in-between vs being on a strictly OMAD keto...
No pictures. Started with IF 8/16 then switched to early time restricted feeding 4/20. 4h feeding window and 20 h fasting period. Works amazing! Never hungry, very happy.

Just watched the latest vid about the snack fasting. He keeps talking about a therapeutic keto diet, 400-800 cals, less than 20% protein and of course low carb. But he never gives examples of exactly what foods would be good...
I'm doing a 23/1 and reading sites and watching videos. I'm confused about two recommendations. In a 23/1 where you only eat one meal, make it a big meal. Thanksgiving dinner is an example of a big...
