    This one is more active than the Keto group. I especially recommend the monthly challenge posts such as Mindfulness March (I think that is the title). Also, remember to bookmark posts with the little tab to the right the thread title or you will not be notified that there are new posts on it. Another thing to change is in your settings, there is a notification section, and you can turn on notifications for new posts in groups. If that is not on, you will not be notified that there are new group posts which is likely one of the factors that make the groups sections so inactive.

    I've been looking as well. I think this is the most active. I've found that keto isn't accepted very well in the general MFP community.

    The general population doesn't care to learn about keto and simply perpetuates every bad thing they've ever heard. 8 years ago I had a registered dietician tell me it was dangerous and not sustainable. This was just her opinion, not from any reading or research she had done. My boss also gave me a difficult time about being low carb vs strict keto. This was surprising to me as he is a type 1 diabetic.

    I no longer bother educating the nay-sayers. I know the science behind it and what has proven to work for me. Don't let anyone in real life or virtual discourage you from your path.

    True. They will bend over backwards for Vegans, but Keto is almost always responded to as if it is unsustainable and unhealthy. Neither are true to any greater degree than changing one's diet and losing weight is difficult for everyone.

    That stinks. I hope you can find out how to get this under control.
