Hey! I also need keto friends, am also new to this and also struggling for consistency. Some days, great. Some days, terrible. (hello, mountain mudpie...) Let's do this new thing together!

Me too. I just started the keto diet yesterday I was at a standstill counting calories and no weight loss For a while now so I thought I would try this.

Im starting wih it too or trying to anyway. Im getting no where lately and need to lighten up on carbs at least.

Have any of you tried fat bombs? I know it sounds gross, but I had a hard time hitting my calorie targets and was starving. They are unbelievably good and satisfying!

I've been on the keto diet for a while now. Lost 11 pounds first 3 weeks. Now I'm stuck.

Also I'm trying keto. I lost in the beginning but nothing for the past 2 weeks
I did forget to bring cream to work for those 2 weeks and drank milk in my coffee. Could that be the reason?
I am getting frustrated and depressed.

I'm starting as well but I'm finding it quite easy on the food part.
I just have a big omelette at noon with 2 eggs, mayo, cucumber, cheese and ham/bacon and a big salad with meat at 8pm. that's my food for the whole day.
If I feel like a snack I just have some peanut butter or some nuts.
I live alone and work from home so I don't need to pack food, that helps a lot.

Things I'm struggling:

• dehydration and its symptoms (dizziness, dry lips)
• constant water drinking and peeing
• since I'm fasting as well, I no longer feel hungry, just a 24/7 weird feeling in the stomach
• there's no way I can exercise like this, I feel weak and tired with minimal movement (I measure 2000cals intake per day, should be enough)

Hi all, just starting Keto with a view to help slim down and be healthier. Please ad me I need Keto friends and accountability and guidance! I'm good and the support side

andilee0902

I replace 2 meals a day with Keto shake, keto chow or keto bar. My other meal is a keto friendly meal. Snack is fat bomb or sugar free jello. Also found Rebel ice cream for up to 8 carbs per pint

blonde092

Also new to Keto and would love some support! I live with my fiancé who refuses any type of diet or excercise. It is a STRUGGLE to make cauliflower rice with coconut oil while he is eating fried rice and crab rangoons. 😑 Anyone feel free to add me and we can do this together!

andilee0902

I've been doing intermittent fasting for over four months and just started low carb eating a couple of weeks ago and my weight is starting to go down again, so yayyyy!! I have learned a ton reading the Diet Doctor website. I've been on a lot of sites and done a ton of research and Diet Doctor is top notch for Keto understanding and really great recipes!

I'm new to keto too. 34 yrs old. I Work from home, 4 kids. My youngest is 8 months and breastfed. Also looking for keto support

I can’t figure out to add friends either.

I’m doing ‘dirty keto’ (if it fits my macros, I might eat it; I’m NOT super strict about cutting out all processed foods, artificial sweeteners, etc and will never tell someone they are ‘doing keto wrong’ (I have experienced this from others...)). Today was day 20 for me. I’m down 11.2lbs so far. Having keto friends on MFP would be nice! Feel free to add me as a friend 🙃

Are you replenishing your electrolytes? With keto you lose a lot of electrolytes and just drinking water may not be enough. You need sodium, magnesium, and potassium. Don’t be afraid to add salt to all your food! I also take a magnesium supplement daily. When I forget to take my magnesium or don’t get enough potassium or sodium for a couple days I feel terrible.

I’ve been on keto a little over a month. I have struggled and looking for friends that will help me too. Feel free to add me or anyone on this thread can as well

andilee0902

My question is...I'm not sure if I'm eating enough protein. Unsure of calorie intake also. My carbs are usually between 10-15g and my fat intake between 70-100g

andilee0902

It's 6am here and starting the day with just black coffee for now. Not hungry yet. I hope my keto friends have a successful day. Reach out if you need a kick in the butt or just want to talk

Im at like 80g of protein im not sure if thats even good or not.
Struggling to keep carbs under 50g
So probably not considered keto at this point
However I am in a Realllyy cold office and am always freezing.
Since starting low carb im over heating wearing a short sleeve and hot.
Is this a side effect does anyone know of? No menopause yet lol.

andilee0902

I think my fat intake yesterday was too high as I have severe bathroom issues lol...what did I do wrong. Damn keto

andilee0902

So I've noticed that no one responds to any of our keto group comments. I will respond to yours as soon as I see it. I joined for support and accountability but am I to be posting on a different board?

Hi, Andilee!! I stumbled onto your posts while hoping to find folks who were in a Keto based weight loss program. I’ve actually just entered my 7th week on a very controlled low carb diet and have lost about 17 lbs since starting low carb (20 lbs overall). I have 20 more to go and I’m hoping to stay motivated and succeed!!!

I stay within 20 and 25 net carbs; attempt to limit calories per day to 1200 (although it’s sometimes hard to attain that due to reduced appetite) and have completely changed my way of eating ( and drinking!). I feel as though the last 20 pounds will be the hardest and appreciate this space for motivation and support! I think that the bathroom issues will be quite temporary as your body adjusts—- they were for me. Fiber, fiber, fiber🙃. Feel free to message anytime—- happy to find a weight loss buddy on this journey! I’m way older than most people I’ve met on here (63) but happy to be here.
