Hi! I’m starting Keto on Monday, and I can’t wait to get started! This app was highly recommended, and I look forward to getting to know folks on the same journey!

If you can't wait to get started then why are you waiting to get started?

Welcome to the community!

If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

Keto requires a lot of research, in my opinion. There are many keto members and threads here. Do a search and you'll find them. Good luck!

The Keto group and the Low Carber Daily Forum group on here are great.

I highly recommend them as places for support, tips, advice, and recipes.

If you are ready start at your next meal. What does delay get you except perhaps more weight you need to lose? If you are thinking you want to get some food in you enjoy before starting keto you need to rethink keto. You can have food you enjoy and lose weight by just maintaining a calorie deficit you may just need to moderate it.

Best plan I ever started was on a Thursday and even that helped break me out of old diet thinking and prepared me for a lifestyle I believe I can live with for many years to come.

Keto did take research and prep for my family. We took a few days (after payday) to stock up on keto staples... Half and half, heavy cream, eggs, proteins, Stevia, unsweetened cocoa powder, unsweetened peanut butter, real butter, olive oil, avocados, magnesium supplements.

It does take prep. And we couldn't afford to throw out our groceries we had bought at our previous shopping trip... So we did take a couple of days to eat some of the foods instead of throwing it all out (cereals, gallon of milk, bag of rice, etc). Was not because we weren't ready or would miss foods, because we couldn't waste that kind of money.

Still ended up throwing out a little about a month in, and not because the foods were too tempting, but realized they were not going to get eaten, were going to go bad, and to make room for keto foods in the fridge and freezer.

I was going to start the 9 day egg diet on Monday. But I chickened out.
