    I think I have a keto diet figured out..I saw another guys post that also weighed 230 pounds and was going to start a keto diet. I will post the diet at the end of this post.
    I weigh 230 right now, and am between 5'9" and 5'10". I have been lifting off and on...but the question i would like answered is what I should do for cardio..I was thinking I could get up in the morning and run, then come back and eat my breakfast before school.

    I don't know about keto but I saw the 2700 calories a day and I don't know what your total calories is for the week but you should limit your calorie intake if you plan on losing weight since 1lb fat = 3500 calories. For a man of 230 pounds your maintenance is 230 x 13 and for weightloss is 230 x 10 x 7 (days) so as long as you keep your calorie intake below that you should be fine. Like I said I don't know about keto but make sure you limit your calorie intake to the right range.

    I was thinking that 2700 is high too, but I am no expert when it comes to losing weight. And the guys that were reviewing his diet didn't mention anything about it,,at least that I saw. You could be right though,,anybody have any comments on that?

    It could be that he didn't mention that because he had a lower body-fat percentage and had a higher metabolism. I would suggest getting a fat % reading and calculating your Resting Metabolic rate and comparing it to 2300. Honestly though even 2300 may be a bit too high if you're much too fat I was at 260, 5'10 at one point and am now at about 196 and I cut my intake to about 1800-2100 a day with one cheat day. Just stick to around 2000 a day, have a cheat meal eveyr now and then and most importantly if you're TOO hungry and feel you wont be able to control your hunger drink a lot of water. If that doesn't work have a HEALTHY meal otherwise you might find yourself gouging later on in the day when you've gone 6 hours without food and a pizza smells too good to resist

    Hope you know about carb-loading and stuff and know what you're doing. I never did keto so I don't know

    Good luck and keep us updated!
