Hi,
I've been doing keto for about 10 years now. I have had multiple bouts of just low carb intermittently . Keto has saved my life! I just need some other friends who are also doing it so that I can feel a little more normal. If you are doing keto, feel free to add me!

    OK...how do I add any of you.
    I first did keto 40 years ago. Kept the weight off for years, until I hit a very stressful time in my life. Now that I have lived past most of the problems and gotten rid of most of the stress, I can do keto. I was not able to do the keto diet while under extreme stress. I am on day 43 and have lost 20 pounds.

    While you are still a sugar burner, your brain uses 100 carbs of energy daily. Then at about three weeks, the body switches to ketones, and your brain uses 40 carbs/ketones of energy daily. This is why you get the early weight loss. This is also why some people have to stay extremely low carb once they become a fat burner.
    If you eat your energy for the day, then your body won't pull any energy from your fat storage. All carbs inhibit ketone production. Alcohol can stall weight loss and excessive alcohol while on the keto diet can cause ketoacidosis. Still, some people say they can have a glass of dry wine on the weekend without any problem.

    I tried to add a bunch of you. My husbands and I are back at keto again (3 months strong) and always looking for food ideas and just info.

    Question: I adjusted my macros but the nutrition grid is based on all carbs, not net carbs. How do you combat this? I tried the paid version of mfp and it didn't help. Thanks!

    I've asked to add you all. I started barely 2 weeks ago and am 7 pounds down. Today, I completed my first 26 hour fast and it was quite easy. I've been reading Dr. Jason Fung's, The Obesity Code. I enjoy fasting and LCHF because all of my cravings are completely gone. Additionally, I've been sugar-free for 2 weeks. Looking forward to getting know you.

    I have been in keto for about three weeks and I'm lost as far as trying to figure out these macros. I have lost 4 pounds already, but don't know or understand exactly what I did to lose them. Anyone wanting to be my friend, please send a request. Looking forward to hearing from you.
