OK I finished my estimates and my carbs were not as high as I thought.... but of course my calories are higher than they should be to lose... I tend to allow that when I am just working on getting back on track... I will do better to weight and measure my food tomorrow and plan to lower my calories as well as carbs0

Tea with a splash of half n half for breakfast, cup of miso soup for lunch, and then nice dinner, brick chicken leg with lime / bacon marinade and a sweet potato. #1 goal ? A good night’s sleep so tomorrow I don’t get so hungry!
Hope you feel better tomorrow and get a good night sleep!
Last time I got into ketosis I was getting in a lot of fat, medium protein and as little net carbs as possible and after 5 days I lost ALL hunger I was eating just cause I knew I had to haha but it’s an awesome side effect of keto!

Oh good to hear! What helps me is track into MFP as I go/eat so that way I know how I’m doing and how big of a dinner I should eat haha0 -

Day 2:
Today I had chicken with shrimp and green beans for lunch (picture included), later I had two small avocados with onion, and lastly keto bread slice with peanut butter.
Macros: 77g protein, total carbs 40g, net carbs 16g, 75g of fat
Good day! Will try and lower total carbs however the fiber content lowered a lot so not too worried about it today.

I just found you and I'm in! I've been eating low carb/paleo/keto for quite a while now but far too many cheats. I'm struggling trying to get them out of my diet. I'm also interesting in trying IF - thinking about an 8 hour eating window during the day. I won't post a before/after picture but I'll try to post lots of meals
Short Term Goals:- No Dairy!
- Total carbs 40/net 20
- Start exercising more consistently

I started strict keto on Tuesday. Said I was going to do it for 30 days, but plain to continue on. It's easier to say 30 days than forever. I'm hoping after 30 days it will be a way of life for me or a habit to eat this way. I will start posting my macros and meals starting this evening.1

This is perfect timing! I am 65F/30P/5C and trying to hit around 1600 calories. Some days I have to mess with the carb / fat ratios but getting easier to keep the carbs down as the days go by.1

I have bought these also to see if it really helps with staying and maintaining ketosis. I have decided to do a personal test with it.... 1st week without it and 2nd week with it, just to see how my body reacts and weight loss. I plan on duplicating the 2 weeks meal plans to ensure some measure of control. Results by the 16th.2 -
If I stick to my planned food for today I will be at 1250 cals, 16 carbs and good macro percentages2
