    Hi,
    I'm new to keto diet too. In 5 days lost 4 ponds and i'm very happy. Need to lose 8 more and I'm looking for buddies to inspire and help each other.
    I'm a runner and looking for more energy.
    How can I friend someone in this app? Which button do we press??
    Thanks guys.

    That's great, as long as you understand that it was mostly water, and that if you ever switch back to a balanced diet, you'll see a sharp weight gain initially due to gaining that water back.

    I'm quite determinal and will stick to this diet. Except not being able to eat fruit, everything else seems fine to me..

    Forgive me canadjineh but what is CICO and WOE. I'm new to all this and those terms are unfamiliar. Thanks.

    CICO: Calories in, calories out. Meaning that weight change or lack thereof happens as a result of the balance between the calories you eat and the calories you burn
    WOE: way of eating

    you can have fruit,just most people eating keto will have berries as they are lower in carbs and higher in fiber

    Thanks Tracey :) . What shall I eat if I have 9%carb, 75% fat, 16% protein?? Whatever I choose I can't lower carb to 5% and bring protein to 20%. Tried egg white, or smoked salmon, or full egg, cream cheese etc.. nothing increases protein and lower carb.. this is what I find difficult. Can't still work out what would increase, what would lower numbers..

    can you lower your fat a little and up the protein to say 20%? how many calories are you eating?

    drink more water to make sure you arent thirsty. sometimes when a person is thirsty they can mistake it for hunger. chew some gum,suck on some mints,go for a walk. or have a small snack and fit it into your calorie goal.
