Anyone doing keto??

Just want to correct - KETO is HIGH fat but moderate protein....so be careful make sure you do research.

I think I'm doing KETO! lol I automatically cut out bread and cereals as soon as I start trying to lose weight. I eat tons of fruits and vegetables though and I looooove a baked sweet potato! Most of my intake comes from protein and fat.. I'm addicted to smoked salmon with poached eggs and spinach atm yummmm

Nope - you're not doing keto. You are eating fewer carbs.....nothing wrong with your approach at all.

With keto, fat is very high and carbs are very low (not merely low). Fruit and any kind of potato would be severely limited in keto. This is why it's CICO all the way for me (calories in vs. calories out).....elimination just backfires for me.

I just started 4 days ago & have lost 4 1/2 pounds. I LOVE this diet. Not only am I dropping weight fast, but I feel amazing (no energy dips throughout the day), I feel more focused & I'm really not hungry. I just eat my 3 meals a day & do not feel the need to snack like I used to. Plus I really don't even feel like I am dieting. The food I am eating is very yummy, I don't feel like I am missing out. I do miss sugar occasionally.

Started KETO again last Saturday and feel great. Last time I lost 12lbs in the first month. Got off track when my husband fell ill. Extremely motivated right now and and 6lbs off this week!!! In full ketosis and loving all my food choices. Making a batch of "cheese bread" this afternoon

I would like to try it, but honestly, I think I should wait until after the holidays.

there's a whole bunch of keto-friendly suggestions for holiday feasts if you google

I started out by cutting out a few carbs here and there and lost 4 pounds over 5 months. Since early August I got better about cutting out carbs. Then I read "Why We Get Fat and What to do About It" by Gary Taubes. That's when I kicked into the keto diet. I've lost 44 pounds since 8/10, losing 2-4 pounds per week. It was hard at first to pass up all the breads and fruits and goodies but now it's very easy to pass them up.

Thanksgiving dinner might be a challenge but I plan to keep as close as I can to below 25g per day. But, bottom line, I know I can eat up to 100g of carbs per day and still lose weight so I don't stress out about the days I miss the 25g target.

I am 5 days in today - My body was in ketosis by day 3 and NO keto flu! @nellyjones25 I'm on keto! @MANDRADE36 - my suggestion to you is keep it SIMPLE at first and make sure your macros are properly calculated. I have been trying a few recipes here and there - my next is a low carb soup i'm going to try.

anyone on keto or not please feel free to add me too!

Yes!! Keep it simple. The recipes to mock carb recipes get to be overwhelming. I have done a few but for the most part I keep it pretty darn simple. Had great results beginning of the year. Then I went through some crap gave up and ate and drank a ridiculous amount. Starts October 17th at 184.. am sitting at 164 as of today. Yay!! It really is a fantastic diet. I hate counting calories. I love that I can go out to eat and it is relatively easy to stick to keto. It's a do able diet in my opinion!!

Try the Low Carbers Daily Forum. It is a private group dedicated to LCHF lifestyle. There is lots of good information available. It is a private group so you must request admission but its well worth it.

I've been looking into Keto - I note several replies are months ago - I wonder -- anyone still doing this & how's it going for you?

I am doing keto. 75 days in and around 60 pounds down(No official weigh in until next month). Doing about 1600 calories per day. Good luck to you, and if you have any questions, send them my way!

My mom has been on the keto diet for the last few months. She has already lost 90lbs! I recently joined it with her. The only thing I have noticed that is bad is she has been having to take supplements because she started to lose hair! But other than that after you get past the first two weeks it is great and I have so far enjoyed it!

I just started the keto diet 3 days ago and I've already lost 5 lbs! I know it's water weight but 5 lbs is 5 lbs lol. I definitely don't feel bloated and gross anymore.

Yes just started Keto about 4 weeks ago and I’m down close to 25 lbs. I know that most of the beginning weight loss was fluid because I am considered obese. I need to lose 75 more lbs. to reach my goal.
