Hi everyone,

I used to be on MFP and got pregnant fell of the wagon. My son is now 1.5 years and I haven't managed to lose all the weight. Looking for friends to help keep me accountable and I'll keep you accountable.

I'm down 5 lb since starting keto a week ago and down 30 total since pregnancy. Keto has been great and I'm already feeling wonderful. It feels like the right lifestyle choice for me.

Less be low carb frannnnndsssss.

    Hi! Feel free to add me as a friend. I'm not quite Keto as I have a bit more protein (60/30/10 ratio instead of 75/20/5), but am still very much Low Carb.

    I'm starting back with my very low carb/keto & I have a son who will be 2 in January so I feel your pain!!! I lost 25lbs and got off my blood pressure meds in the last year, but I need to step up this weight loss and get back on the low carb wagon.

    That's still keto bro. It's more along the lines of what some folks called optimal keto. The hight fat ratio of the Standard Keto Diet (SKD) is best for maintenance. A lower fat & higher protein ratio is better for weight/fat loss without losing lean muscle mass. I'm currently running at 55%f/40%p/5%c.

    Thanks for the info. I am newer to the "keto" terminology. I've been aware of Low Carb for about the last 8 years and have done a lot of reading about it. I even have the original 1972 Atkins book which actually is much different than the new ones. I think it is closer aligned to what Keto is, but that term isn't really used to describe a diet type, but ketosis, which is the body running on fat instead of sugar.

    I thought a lot of the strict Keto-followers kept to a 75/20/5 ratio, but it's good to know there is variation out there.

    You can add me, just started keto about a week ago. It'll be nice to have some friends on the same train.
