1. What This Plan Is (Important)
This is a hybrid plan:
- Low carb (not extreme keto)
- High protein
- Moderate healthy fats
- Calorie-controlled
π Unlike strict keto (which is very high fat), this plan reduces fat slightly to keep calories and WW points low while still controlling carbs.
Typical keto uses 5β10% carbs and very high fat
π but for weight loss + diabetes + WW β we adjust balance smarter.
π¬ 2. How Weight Loss Actually Works
Forget confusion β itβs simple:
π You must be in a calorie deficit
π Protein keeps you full
π Low carbs stabilize blood sugar
Low-carb diets help because they:
- Reduce hunger
- Improve insulin control
- Increase fat burning
βοΈ 3. Your Ideal Macro Formula
Use this daily structure:
- Protein: 35β40%
- Carbs: 20β30%
- Fat: 30β35%
π This is the βperfect overlap zoneβ of:
- Keto benefits
- Diabetes control
- WW compatibility
