New to Keto

KacieHetrick

Hello everyone! Any advice for someone new to Low Carb/Keto? I started January 7 after being stuck at the same weight for a couple of months and have been attempting so stay low on carbs for 2 weeks, usually netting under 50. My diary is open! Thanks in advance! Also I lift 3 days a week! Down 6 lbs in 2 weeks.

Thanks!
Kacie

I suggest you check out the mail low-carber forum group here on MFP. It's where of us Ketofiles hang out:

Know that the weight loss will slow down, but don't get discouraged! Enjoy that whoosh effect. Join the low carb forum listed in the post above ^^ They are very supportive and helpful. Make sure this is something you can stick to long term, otherwise you will put back on the water you lost and it can kind of shock your body if that's done quickly! Just wanted to put that out there. I enjoy low carb, but moreso use it to balance my macros now since I'm a carboholic

Make sure you keep the fat up, don't eat too much protein(1 gram per kg of body weight has worked well for me) , that has slowed me a few times (I'd say gluconeogenesis). Watch the sugar alcohols as there are a few that will cause insulin responses. And as previously mentioned, patience!
