Hey all,
I haven't started a Keto diet yet/ Low carb diet. I was recommended by someone to join this page and it would be interesting to know if anyone had some useful links / recipes / routines for a diet such as this.
You're all doing incredibly well in such a short amount of time and seem to be keeping it off! Well done all of you!

27 lbs in 4 months.0

I've lost about 14 pounds since I started keto about a month ago. Prior to that I was doing extreme dieting such as not eating anything except water and fiber gummies for a week at a time. I would lose weight but I would gain it back as soon as I stopped the dieting. LCHF is a lifestyle for me now.0

11 pounds in two months is good, no matter what may happen with some other Congrats!
There is a thing called PISS, Post Induction Stall Syndrome, that happens to a lot of people. You drop a ton of water weight initially, as you mentioned losing most of what you've lost so far in the first 20 days, and then there's a stall. Usually its just a couple weeks for most people, but after my initial loss period when I first started keto, I didn't lose anything else for a month or so. I looked for all kinds of things that I could have been doing wrong (and there's nothing wrong with paying close attention to make sure you aren't getting hidden carbs or whatever), but in the end I was doing things just fine and it just took a little while for things to really get moving after that initial burst.0 -

Thanks, Radiii, that's good to remember! Don't think I've ever heard of PISS, but that seems very possibly what I'm doing. I'll definitely watch for carb creep and keep doing what I know to do. Eventually, it's gotta give, right? When that happens I'll be the happiest old lady in town.
Perspective. I've gotta keep perspective. Thanks.0 -
Day 65 and I'm down 12.4 pounds from my start weight. I think I'm in the middle of some PISS myself, but I'm cutting dairy for a couple days just to see what that does.0

I've been doing LC for about 8 months and am down 35. Halfway to my ultimate goal of 70. I get frustrated sometimes that I'm losing slower than others, but I'm still losing so I try to remember that this is all about ME and not about other people, and to keep going.0

Check out the sticky post at the top of the group. " Start HERE. LCD Launch Pad". There are FAQs, open discussion threads, and etc. There is a massive recipe sit list near the bottom of the list.

@Becky_W25, read the Launch Pad which is at the top of the LCD group page. There is more resources there that will help you decide if this is the right way of eating (woe) for you. It's full of tips, recipes...that are invaluable! This is the best group on mfp for the consistent support we all need to make this woe a success! You are welcome to send me a friend request too. I have found that by looking at others diaries to see what people are eating has helped me too. Best to you!0

Definitely check out the Launch Pad. Tons of resources & links there. If you're looking for something more specific once you've looked through there, ask away!

I've been low carb for 3 months and loss 40 lbs 0

Thanks. I should clarify, the 300 isn't from keto. I wasn't diagnosed until after I lost the weight, then did an elimination diet, and that's when keto started. I maintained with keto, and gained, and lost. It's only a tool.0 -

I'm cutting back on the dairy to see if it helps me get back on track too. Not eliminating, just reducing. The scale budged this morning, but tomorrow I half expect it will be back up again.

Day 114, lost 47 lbs, blood pressure is 116/75 with a 60bpm heart rate. Starting a strict keto diet now to lose these last 8 lbs and sticking with it!0

I've been Keto since August, but only trying to lose weight since January. I've lost 3 lbs... however, the health effects are worth it to keep going. Also, I've noticed a lot of strength gains in the gym and clothes fitting better which makes me feel better about the loss. I also haven't been great at tracking on the weekends and am working to get better at it. I'm pretty sure it's what's been holding me back.0
This one is before the weight loss
