Keto success stories

I just started keto about 2 weeks ago. I'd love to see everyone's before and after photos on keto.

Most recent I have. I'm now at around 92lbs lost. Doing net carbs and pretty strict keto with one cheat day a month if I was good. I've found that the key to Keto is to "chase" the protein not the fat. Get in your protein and you'll maintain muscle and the other macros will fall into place.

that's great! I am planning keto, but have been doing well with keeping up the protein, so not sure if high protein still ok.

@SoCaLi4mTheVali

High protein is fine. (Also don't forget calories. Keto isn't a magic ignore calories in calories out remedy.) Ketogains has a couple of good articles on protein consumption while on keto.

That second article has links to a ton of other articles regarding keto and protein.

They also have a nice concise reminder on how eating keto really shouldn't be butter bombs.

Good luck if you decide to try out keto!

My wife and I started Keto on September 1. With the month coming to a close, we are both near the 10 lb loss mark. I'll keep checking back on this thread!

I started Keto last week (9/25/2017). I am 4.2 lbs down, as of yesterday. This week I am trying not to look at the scale that much. I didn't take any before/after pictures, but did take measurements. Plan to re-measure at the end of the month. I truly don't find this WOE that hard, which is incredibly surprising to me.

Down 54lbs since May 15/2017. Loving Keto lifestyle. I set mini goals of 10lbs and attach a goal date with them to keep me focused.
I need to take an updated pic and post a side by side

Check out ruled.me for a starter 30 day plan and meal ideas. It's been extremely helpful for a total newb!

I'd be curious to see long term effect on total cholesterol, 2-3 years AFTER the initial massive weight loss.

Here's one study (not 2-3 years), but from my research those who have lost weight and stayed keto, have had regular numbers. I'm sure it depends on the individual and eating habits.

That first pic is from 3 years ago at 190 lbs. I dropped to 150 in around 5 months. Stopped Keto and slowly gained 20lbs back. June first this year started again and dropped to 140 in around 5 months. Been maintaining with the goal of sticking with a low carb lifestyle and not gaining it back this time.
