Just 1 Fat Chick on a Diet

OK I think what I am doing is very similar to the ketogenic diet of high fat and protein and low carb, but I’d really like to know more!

 I am cycling calories as follows

Mon 1500

Tue 1200

Wed 1800

Thur 1200

Fri 1500

Sat 1800

Sun 1500

Right now I have my macronutrient ratios at

Protein: 40% Carbs:25% Fat:35% and each day my macro. ratios are steady ie. high calorie days are still at 25% carbs, but obviously I am taking in more carbs with more calories. Looks like this…

Macs @ 1500
                       CARB PROTEIN FAT
GRAMS PER DAY 93g 150g 58g

@ 1200

                    CARB PROTEIN FAT
GRAMS PER DAY 75g 120g 46g

@ 1800

                    CARB PROTEIN FAT
GRAMS PER DAY 112g 180g 70g
Of those carbs 20-35 g are usable/fiber. More carbs obv more fiber. And under 12 g of sat fat a day!

Is this somewhat like the keto diet? If not should it be changed. What is the general opinion of the keto diet. If my diet and the keto are not similar, do you think I should stick to my own diet? I need opinions!! I only have 8 weeks left!!!
