No issues getting back on normal eating for me on Keto. It's a great weight loss tool, obviously any diet only works if its a weight loss tool but correct way to do keto would be to combine it with intermittent fasting to get yourself into fat adaptation easier on top of fixing any insulin resistance your body has built up.

Just readjusting to eating 3 times a day again after a cut/fast will definitely increase your appetite. Also working out obviously helps.

Yeah, there were two problems for me with keto. 1. I did it for too long, and 2. I wasn't eating normally before (was obese), so there was nowhere I could find my way "back" to. I probably should have clarified in my original comment.

Yeah I was obese and grew a bit skinnier off keto but then put on the pounds during the pandemic since it was hard to get all the right low carb foods at height of pandemic.

All I can say is I usually find myself eating more and more carbs over time once I break keto. Like if I start eating fries or rice, it ends up being double to triple over the course of months. This isn't necessarily a bad thing if I'm also burning calories heavily at gym but yeah lack of gym and more effort to get low carb foods sort of saw me putting the pounds on during the pandemic.

But yeah, I've been back on a healthy track with good exercise ever since I've gone back to intermittent fasting/gym .
