CKD vs 'traditional' diets

lol
In retrospect that does sound funny.

Anybody here tried a Keto calorie restrictive diet AND a 'traditional' calorie restrictive diet (by this I mean the usual hi Carb/prot, lo fat type).

How did results compare?

Yes, always lost strength restricting calories without cycling a reduction in carbs ALWAYS. I have honestly never known anyone who hadn't just started working out who could maintain strength for any real length of time with a genuine calorie deficit while keeping carbs high and fat low.

So are you recommending a Keto style diet, or what?

Yes. If you just want to "lose weight," any kind of calorie intake restriction regardless of macronutrient profile with occasional calorie increases to reset metabolism will fit the bill to cause "weight loss" in all but the most Endomorphic humans. If you want to preserve strength and muscle over the long-term, make low/no carb cycling a part of your diet.
