Very helpful link! Makes alot of sense. Just started over the weekend. Wife raves about it and I have hit a plateau with my weight loss so am giving it a go.

I’m on Keto now for eight weeks. Have lost weight (35 lbs.) very easily...I rarely work out. I’m going to keep this going until I lose another 25-30 pounds and then just maintain.
Good luck to you all and add me if you’d like! 😊

I have been on KETO for five weeks and have lost 16lbs so far. I do 35-40 Carbs a day as I do not want to rush the process and give up everything. Once you figure out what macros will put you in Ketosis, your on your way to losing weight.

Fixed it for you.

Have to agree though! I was lead astray and made to believe I could eat as much fat as I wanted on keto but I ended up gaining fat!

I was definitely in ketosis as I had already been keto for a long time, several years on and off and a year completely on keto. After 5 months of a deficit AND keto I finally am around 19% bodyfat.

I make keto granola (I mix chopped pecans, sliced almonds, chia seeds, flax meal, sugar-free coconut flakes, coconut oil (unrefined) and some erythritol and then put it in the oven for 20 min at 325). I love this stuff in some almond milk (as cereal), or a little bit of greek yogurt, of homemade keto whipped topping.

There are a few who think ketones = unlimited food and weight loss, but they are a small minority. I don't see it that often.

I think what may happen for some people is that their maintenance and calorie surplus level may increase a bit on keto due to an improved health condition or increased protein intake. I know that I lose faster on keto but it helps with my autoimmune and inflammation, plus I was prediabetic.

The perception of eating more is common. If you are someone who found they were always hungry on a lower fat diet, experiencing reduced hunger from a keto diet can make it feel like you are eating more just because you aren't used to being able to follow hunger cues.
