    There are quite a few doing a ketogenic diet in the Low Carber Daily group. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group you're welcome to join.

    I have been following a ketogenic diet for about 7 months now, and still enjoying it. I have lost 40 lbs to get within 5-10 lbs of my goal weight with relative ease while eating a modest caloric deficit. I have never carb cycled in and out of ketosis though. I just try to stay here. ;)

    If you are getting "keto symptoms" it probably means your electrolytes are out of balance. Consider increasing your daily sodium to 3000-5000mg per day. I know it sounds like a lot but the water weight lost on a lw carb diet can lower you salt levels causing fatigue, headaches, a chinless and ill feelings. More salt really helps.

    Increasing potassium and magnesium are often helpful to low carbers too. Good luck!

    Thank you nvmomketo. Your post was very helpful, I will join the other low carb group. Mfp is not as easy platform as facebook, hard to track notifications. I wish I could give suggestions to mfp owner about how lame current mfp layout is. It's horrible when compared to instagram or facebook !!

    Agreed but one thing to make it easier is to click the star at the top right on a thread you want to follow or continue to get notifications on. You can track them easier and you un-star at any time.
