Hi there. My name is Tammy and I am beginning the keto diet today. Are there any other Ketonians out there? I have about 40 pounds to lose.

Hello! I just posted about a ketogenic diet. Maybe we can follow and help each other. I'm kind of new to.it and need help sticking to it!

What is it?

All about keto here. Just joined community today . Keto diet or lifestyle is better explained by linking you to a info page. An easy to understand source can be
A ketogenic diet is quite simply any diet that forces the body into a process called ketosis, whereby fats are burned instead of carbohydrates for use as energy. A proper ketogenic diet calls for the dieter to consume high amounts of fat, adequate amounts of protein, and very low amounts of carbohydrates.

Hey there! I have loved living a low carb lifestyle for awhile but my Dr. recommended the keto diet. He said I need to adjust my macros that I am eating too much protein. He said it can actually turn into sugar causing even more inflammation...ugh! So here I am, on day 1 and it is going AMAZING! I am not hungry at all, exercised, and getting in my water intake. I would love to have some like-minded support on here. If you are also looking for that, Add Me!

There is a great group (LCHF) to join where a lot of people are doing ketogenic diets; I've been researching different macronutrients and lifestyle eating options for the past few months before deciding upon sucrose free ketogenic for both optimal brain and body health.

I have been doing it 4 months now and lost only 26 lbs and over 10 inches, I find it holding myself in ketosis after being very strict for 7 years before starting it. But I upped my exercise this month so I hope to improve.

Try intermittent fasting - start with a 16/8 ratio (i.e only eat between say 10am and 6PM( and move towards a 18/6 ratio (12 till 6) - this will help your body burn up any glycogen you introduce in your diet and get your body producing ketones for longer throughout the day and as you sleep.
