Is Keto a good option if your goal is increased strength and endurance (obviously in conjunction with the right exercise plan), or is it primary for people looking to lose weight?

Keto is typically used to lose weight. It’s incredibly hard to gain muscle while on keto (as carbohydrates are a much more efficient vehicle for protein synthesis versus fat)

If you’re looking for strength and endurance you should just do a high protein low carb bodybuilding diet

Losing weight is simply a matter of calories, so if you feel like it’s easier to eat less on Keto then it’ll be easier to lose weight. Personally, I’ve been Keto for about 2 years and have lost roughly 5lbs throughout that time while all of my lifts have increased in both weight and reps... it’s just a matter of what you make of it

Getting married in September, have a vax only policy for guests. My fiancé’s sister is bringing her unvaccinated spouse to the hotel where all the wedding festivities are being held b/c she is too scared to fly on an airplane without him.

Any ideas as to what (if anything) to do?
