Hi all,
I'm 3 weeks into keto and have been trying to do it on my own. I have so far lost 14lbs. I'm super excited!

    I too am new and I am struggling. Without wanting to exhaust you, would you mind listing a typical day of food that you are consuming? Are you exercising? Are you taking supplements? Are you eating treats? I need basic, bare bones help. Thanks! And thanks for sharing :)

    1) Keep carbs low and mostly above ground vegetables.
    2) Hover around your deficit calorie allowance.
    3) keep your sodium intake to around 3000-5000 mg daily if you have no medical need for low sodium intake.

    Exercise, treats, supplements are perhaps "nice to do" not "need to do" things.

    Great advice. :)

    If struggling, I might consider avoiding treats for a while. I don't know about you, but treats were part of the reason that I became heavy. ;) breaking that habit helped me eat less.

    If hungry, feel free to eat more (fat and protein) for a day or so. Following hunger seems to work better for me when very low carb. I might have a day or two of 2000 kcal but it is often followed by a day or two of lower calories. Within reason of course.
