I Quit Keto - Updated 2024

#keto #ketodiet #ketorecipes #ketolifestyle #ketocooking #ketoweightloss #ketolife #ketogenicdiet

Hi, my name is Sahil and I run Headbanger's Kitchen here on YouTube. I started out as a heavy metal cooking show which eventually somewhere down the line turned into me making Keto Diet recipe videos because I was on the diet. A huge spike in my viewership due to those videos inspired me and kept me going on my Keto journey. Over time though I realized it wasn't the diet for me as I found it unsustainable and restrictive. Since I did it purely for weight loss I preferred to move over to something more sustainable for myself. And that's why in 2019 I stopped doing Keto. I continued to make recipes for a while as my numbers and audience dwindled and finally when it made no difference what kind of video I uploaded I stopped making new Keto video recipes.

Now I am focusing more on just good food, delicious food and dishes that can fit into almost any diet. If you like the show, do stick around. If I'm not your cup of tea anymore that's ok. I thank you for watching my videos and wish you all the best.

Like many, I went off keto 2 years ago, gained back half the 50 pounds I lost on keto but more significantly, I became a borderline type 2 diabetic and a hardcore carb addict. I felt like crap. I'm back on track, in ketosis, feel great, and lost the weight I gained. Thank you for your huge contribution to the keto cooking space. We get your creative need to broaden your environment, and glad it's working for you. Wish I could but it doesn't work for me. Working out regularly now and never felt better. ROCK ON!

Keto or not, your cooking vids are the best. You have a knack for simplifying recipes and making delicious food.

I still eat a ketovore diet. this way of eating for me was never about a weightloss diet trend its about controlling blood sugars as I am diabetic. I am so grateful to you!! I loved watching your videos and still do. Rock On Sahil!! with love from Texas 🤠❤

It may not be a fashionable diet any more but keto is a big part of how I manage my fibromyalgia. I just bought your book and I love it. I'm very grateful for the wonderful archive of recipes you have left behind, and personally I love the heavy metal soundtrack. I still enjoy watching you even if I can't eat a lot of what you're cooking these days, just as I love watching other interesting creative people make things I don't plan to replicate myself. I hope you remain on YouTube, but I wish you a lot of success wherever your journey takes you.

The irony is, I wasn't keto when I found your channel. It was just great recipes. We're keto now and it's doing great things for our health. It's probably not forever, although I think low carb will be. And even still, your recipes are amazing.

I still love watching your videos, whether I’m watching my carbs or I’m not. I’m not much of a cook but I find your personality absolutely delightful.

It's an age thing for me, im 70. Up to the menopause I could eat anything and remain slim. 5 years into menopause my health was in decline. I was diagnosed T2D. Both my parents had T2D. I didn't want to have their later life problems. Keto was and is a lifesaver for me. I've tried increasing my carbs to 50 per day, my weight sped up to where I was before. Keto for me has improved my joint health, no more pain, no more drugs. I have a preference for the kind of food I ate as a child in the 1950s. That chimes with my Keto diet now. No pasta or rice, a wee slice of Sourdough bread with the occasional bowl of soup. I'm healthier and happier with my meat and two veg, occasional cold potato salad for resistant starch. I'm ket for life.

I "relapsed" yesterday. I had fried chicken and worst of all, ice cream. I woke up, not feeling like death warmed over as I'd feared, but feeling pretty okay. Mind blowing! But i will go back to keto because it keeps my blood sugar at a level my doctor and i are pleased with. That was my reason for doing the keto diet in the first place. I was starting to feel completely out of control, however, and was really tired of just the same few things over and over. Your channel has helped, though, with your 3 ingredient meal videos. There are different things to eat now, and the variety and simplicity of the meals you've demonstrated are fun and appetising. So I subbed this morning, and will be watching as many recipes as I can in the future. Rock on, my friend, rock on. (Edited to take care of a whole bunch of typos.)

I appreciate the honesty with which you do everything. Thank you for not becoming anything other than yourself. On a side note, I broke my jibbajabba mug😭 from the early days. I will always treasure our London meetup. You are such a patient person. Hopefully, I will see you and meet Deepti when I visit Mumbai next year

I’ve been keto since 2015. I love Indian food and thank you for all you gave the community. I’ve made many of your recipes. The hard part of Keto for me is that I have to cook all the time and need to plan. Eating in restaurants is a trial but doable. The lack of diabetes will keep me parked here. There isn’t one path for all. Best wishes for you on yours.

[babehc]

I still have your cookbook and still using a lot of your recipes until this day. I fell off keto bandwagon 2 years ago and it really didn’t help me at all. I binged on carbs like crazy and my health deteriorated. I recently started keto again and hopefully will be able to restore my health.

I could not sustain keto for more than a couple of months when I first tried it back in 2018. But last year I discovered carnivore and it has opened my eyes and helped me understand the secret to unlocking my metabolism. Now I'm carnivore for life. But I always remember that cool headbanger keto dude. Good to hear you're thriving and broke free from whatever chains were on you. Rock n roll and keep kicking ass!

[marylou]

Very happy to hear from you Mr. Headbanger

As a Keto content creator I'm here to say that I support Sahil, being a keto creator is difficult... He's always been supportive of me and my channel. I'm exploring the idea if keto is truly all or nothing... I don't think it is, I think metabolic flexibility should be a bigger focus than most in the Keto/carnivore space will acknowledge... Keep making great content Sahil, we'll keep watching!

[monas.]

I’m still low carb and still love ya, Sahil!

[jillgerstenberger]

I love your stories. Maybe you can shift more into talking about culture and travel. I think this would be really interesting with all the changes happening around the world right now. Even seeing how you guys live is really cool. 🙂

[sonaliw]

Thanks Sahil for being so honest . My partner and I follow your recipes. I am on keto since 2017. High fat, high protein keto is unsustainable and has cardiac risks. We follow a low fat, high fiber keto diet. Ever since we started I find it hard to eat carbs, there's bloating and joint pains and a sense of doom. I guess keto is a way of life now.

[stevekovacs]

I eat Keto because I have to. I'm T2D and it helps keep my glucose numbers low.

[davebarry]

I very much enjoy your channel. Not only are the keto recipes amazing (my curries are much improved) but also your sense of humour and attention to detail. Fully respect that your life has changed etc. I will remain a happy subscriber/watcher. Be well my friend.

[KW-K]

I love your personality and simple style of cooking.
