Hi guys! New here

I've been trying to lose weight for a long time, and when I was younger the only thing that worked was a low carb and low fat diet. But I was miserable. I've been doing the keto-ing for the past 2 days, and I've already seen my bloat go down to almost unnoticeable levels. I think I'll be sticking to this for the foreseeable future. I hope I am welcome here despite my inexperience. :)

    Welcome to the group. I love lchf. It's been an amazing month for me. First time in a long time I feel like I might make it to goal. Totally sustainable and I feel fantastic.

    Welcome. I've been doing keto for over 7 mo. Food is yummy. Nixed my chocoholic and carb cravings. I've lost just under 75lb and I'm so healthy it is insane. I'm seriously considering staying LCHF for life, as in under 50g net carbs. Currently I'm at 20g total.

    Congrats on finding what works for you!

    Hi
    I'm new too, started lchf 2 weeks ago after reading the book keto clarity.
    I came accross this group yesterday and have learned a lot.
    I tried Atkins many years ago with good results, I stopped because I was concerned it wouldn't be healthy, there wasn't as much information then and all health providers pushed the low fat angle (hey I'm one of the health provider's).
