    Welcome @beemeralexis22423! I don't follow a Keto plan myself, but as far as easy first steps, you might be interested in trying out the Net Carbs option in MFP, and consider one of the Plans offered in app- we don't have any keto plans available right now (as far as I can tell) but the Ultimate High Protein plan may be of interest.

    Otherwise, there are definitely a fair amount of members also doing keto here who have and are continuing to discuss how to accomplish exactly this. I'd absolutely recommend doing a quick search of the forums and peek around a bit- join in on conversations and ask questions.

    Hi Lexy, well done for starting out on your low carb journey for better health. I recently created a keto diet support group after starting a meal plan, to share tips, progress, ask questions and motivate each other, as well as small challenges to keep us going. It would be great to have you on board. Take a look, you can find us by searching for "The Fast 800 Keto Club (Spring/Summer 2025)."
