Hi I am back after a break (as had a baby ☺️)
Is there anyone else doing a low carb high fat diet?

    I started last year and felt amazing - fell of the wagon when I fell pregnant but back to it now and really excited to feel the benefits again.
    Its nice to see some likeminded souls

    Oh no bettylawlz! Are you waking up with cravings or not feeling great?
    Yeah I hate counting points and stuff but do find this app helpful for keeping to my macros ratio (more or less).
    My biggest barrier is the cost of everything!! This way of eating is virtually unheard of in the uk do not many products geared towards low carb eating - hence I end up ordering stuff of Amazon and paying a pretty penny for it!

    I'm more on the LCHF end then KETO. I have a few more carbs from extra vegetables throughout the day but I eat zero bread/pasta/potatoes and limit the starchy veggies. I love this WOE and won't ever go back. I've been on it since before New Years. Love Love Love. The only thing I miss is popcorn but I make sure to allow it in my macros from time to time (usually once a week as a treat).

    Hi! I am new to Keto (as of Tuesday) but an old hand at yo-yo dieting. I think I have an addiction to carbs or something...the more I eat, the more I crave (and bloat ugh). But this seems to be breaking that cycle for me. I am feeling good after the first couple of days and have energy and no bloated feeling

    I just started Keto today. Purchased Keto OS (arrived yesterday) and started on it today with Keto OS shake and Bulletproof Coffee. By afternoon my Keto Stick showed that I was Negative (in Ketosis). I'm looking for help on getting my eating plan in line as I had very few guidelines before beginning. Found Ruled.me online which has helped. I feel really good after my first day!

    Good luck!! I found mariamindbodyhealth.com and ibreatheimhungry.com really useful and would really recommend reading grain brain and wheat belly if you need any motivation!! Once I started really looking into what excessive carbs do in the body it really helped me stick it out!!

    JUST MAKE SURE YOU EAT SOMETHING WITH CARBS IN IT BEFORE BED AND YOU WILL WAKE UP IN THE PERFECT BGL ZONE. I CHECK MINE EVERY MORNING AND EVENING AND ALWAYS WAKE UP 10 POINTS HIGHER THAN WHEN I WENT TO SLEEP.

    Yep always happy to get support from likeminded folk!

    I find it really hard as none of my friends or people I talk to about this way of eating seem to get it - they think it is just a really faddy diet whereas I feel that I have become enlightened to just how bad the average modern diet is and don't want to go back - whenever I slip back to old habits I feel like crap - heartburn, bloating, lethargy and it really affects my mood too!
