Happy Friday everyone!
Yesterday was my one month keto-versary, so I thought I'd share my results. When I was first starting out, I scoured the internet looking for proof that this works, so now I'm giving back.
I have kept my carbs <20g daily and have lost about 13 pounds since I started. I haven't been strict about counting calories, but have been really strict about carbs. I drink whiskey almost every day and have really enjoyed trying new recipes and being able to eat like a king, er, queen! I've been totally content and have not cheated, not even on Thanksgiving. The pain and stiffness in my joints is GONE and I feel emotionally happier than I've felt in years.
For reference, here are my stats:
37 years old, 5'8" tall
Keto SW: 306 CW: 293
Now, it's only 13 pounds but I've lost a total of about 15 inches. I made some comparison pics as proof.
Can you tell a difference?

Thanks to everyone! To answer a few questions:
@snooziebunny: An average day's food is:
Breakfast: 2 eggs scrambled or fried with cheese and 4-6 pieces of bacon
Lunch: Low Carb Cheeseburger (No bun, tomato or ketchup) from Hardees or Wendy's and a side salad with full fat dressing.
Dinner: Cream cheese stuffed chicken breasts wrapped in bacon with asparagus or broccoli.
I'm not much of a snacker but if I get hungry inbetween meals, I'll eat a cheese stick or pepperoni.
@shannondurm, this is a way of eating that is low carb and high fat. My diet macros are 75/20/5, F/P/C. I'm not super strict with my macros but make sure that my carb intake is less than 20g net a day. I drink wine and whiskey...whatever you drink, just make sure you count it in your macros. If I drink wine, I make sure I count the carbs. If I drink whiskey I make sure to count the calories.0 -
