Perhaps too obvious, since this is the r/keto group on mfp, but take a gander at the reddit sidebar. There's a site for generating your macros (first link under Useful Links), a faq, and links to related subs.
For me, my second try (started in November '13 and was great guns until I fell off it in September) began on March 20th with the decision to eat maintenance calories until the carb craving crazies fled. That took about five days and I've been eating at a steady thirty percent deficit since then, lost more than an inch off my waist with a delicious and easy transition back in.
My priorities: protein is non-negotiable, figure out that goal and hit it every day - not really a keto-specific thing. Obviously carb limit. Water, drink a lot (I drink at least 60%, in oz., of my body's weight in lbs. every day). Get 3.5g of sodium (not salt!) a day, and some recommend adding a gram and a half more. Track potassium and magnesium. Enjoy your saturated and mono fats to satiation/calorie limit, increase the omega three polys, limit the omega six polys.
And again, there are some very sensible people over at r/keto - I didn't know about that place when I started out and I learned a lot lurking in-between my keto stints. There are more than a few good books out there too, I reference Phinny and Volek's "...Living" a lot. Lyle McDonald (The Ketogenic Diet) is more of a skeptic but the book is rigorously researched and he makes a lot of good points.
There are quite a few benefits to limiting carbohydrate, more to eating ketogenically. You may find, as I hope to, that eating this way helps a lot more than your waistline. But probably the most important thing to remember is this: no diet works for everyone. Hopefully this is a great fit for you, but you probably have to do it, and properly, for at least six months to find out. The first four to eight weeks see a lot of energetic changes, as your body produces more fat-digesting enzymes and mothballs the carb-digesting ones. Anyone who tells you they tried keto for less than three months didn't do their homework and didn't really test the diet. Which isn't to say there may not be reasons why some can't, but there's a distinct there.
Good luck!
P.S. Sorry about the wall of text, hope something helps.0 -

Hey - I've lost 10 lbs doing ️Keto. It's been a very slow process compared to most. Here are my specs.:
-40 year old female,
-desk job that is high stress and required VERY long days - 10-16h regularly.
Start weight was 160 ( estimated because I was in denial). I got down to 156 .... ( is because I was still trying to convince myself the scale was wrong and that I was only 146 lbs). I found ️Keto at this point!
- current now 139 lbs
- Height 5 foot 1
- Goal is 125
- Fitness goals: 1. Lift 4 days a week. 2. Set up an outdoor "gym" to do boot camp work during the summer ( but not handy
) 3. Eventually run a 10km run ( long term goal)
- Current nutrition target ( while sedentary). 1060 cal. 5% carb 5% prot. 90% fat ( note very sedentary!!!!) water 12 cups / day.
- Future nutrition goal - to increase cal and macros to find the balance once I get active again ... Slowly.
- Biggest challenges:
- 1. Work / stress / time
- 2. I spend every other weekend with my guy - who is incredibly active ( runs) but also follows the canada food guide - aka high carb low fat and medium protien...
Looking for friends to encourage me as I encourage them.0 -
