I am a low carb keto person and I would like to be friends with many who share similar issues and interests.

You might want to also try going gluten-free, it should help the PCOS, IBS and bread/pasta cravings. Gluten is still hidden in some "low-carb" stuff - tortilla wraps, soy sauce and other sauces, beer, lunch meats, hot dogs, etc.

Thanks for the great advice shar140, will give it a go - one of my closest friends is Coeliacs so i can get the advise from her about the best tasting foods to try.

Hi, I started low carb in Feb 2011 and as of November 2011 lost 70lbs. Then came the holidays and I fell off the wagon and gained about 25lbs back. Now In am starting over again. Good luck to you all and wish me luck !

I did LC for six years successfully but then needed three major surgeries and gained most of my weight back. I'm LCing again and this time I'm taking insulin and Victoza and trying desperately to get the meds and the diet in synch. I keep having hypo issues. Let's be friends and support each other on our way back! :flowerforyou:

LOVE his recipes!

The cheese chips are awesome! I use presliced muenster cheese and leave them in the microwave for a few more seconds and they taste soooo similar to the burnt pieces you can find in cheeze-it boxes (my fav :P).

awesome!

I'm an /r/keto fan, too!
I'm about to switch to paleo. The concept is really similar to keto, and I'll still be avoiding grains, sugars, etc. Friend me!

I have been doing keto for a few months and looking to switch to Paleo possibly at the start of the new year. I have found that weight training and H.I.T training has worked best to over come those plateaus and increase weight loss and gain in lean muscle mass when following a Keto regime. 55/40/5 [% Protein/Fats/Carbs] for 3 weeks consistently then switching to 60/30/5 [% Fats/Protein/Carbs] for the next month plus. Some sites recommend a carb up on weekends but until you get a consistent 2+ weeks of very low carbs I would not recommend carb ups.

When starting keto I had my total carbs relatively high above 50 and on weekends I would allow more not more than 100. That wasn't working for me so I have been able to consistently been able to stay under 40. Even the best whey and egg white proteins still register a few carbs per serving. The key is the type of carbs. If you are incorporating fiber and low carb veggies with fiber your total carb level will go up but your net carbs may still be within range. Watch the sugars.
[Some days are better than others.] I find if you keep your total Caloric output/burn to be relatively high (above 3000 a day including basal metabolic rate) 50-100 carbs is no big deal.

Just incorporated Body Media Fit Link and loving the data I am getting especially with the MFP interface/link!!!

[Pay no attention to the weight loss signature, as I try not to step on the scale often...]

any keto'rs feel free to add. been on keto a month down 12 pounds. but could use some help with expanding food ideas.

I'm doing the low carb-high fat thing. Anyone feel free to add me. I don't have many LC'ers on my FL and I could use some more food/meal ideas.

On Keto as well (I'm over on /r/keto, /r/loseit, /r/fitness, etc.) under the same name as here and wouldn't mind some additional connections here. It's really inspiring to see other people in the same boat.

I began my newest weight loss endeavor in November (there have been so many), when I was at my highest weight of 361.6 pounds. On the new year, I weighed in at 342 pounds and began my challenge to lose 100 pounds, down to 242 by July 1st. I am now 330 pounds as of yesterday, so I'm 12 pounds toward my goal and really excited with my progress.

Feel free to add me, folks.

Finally had a doctor tell me to lose weight! I am borderline diabetic and need to reduce carbs in a big way! I LOVE pasta and all carbs! HELP! I am using this site to plan my menu for tomorrow...low carb life, here I come!

I've only been exploring keto recipes for about a week, but so far I've made my own relatively low-carb beef jerky (2g per ounce), cauliflower substituted mashed potatoes (4g per serving [probably around three ounces of yield per serving, I think] ), and this last one, though it no longer works for me because I'm staying below 20g of carbs per day is a really cool pasta-substitute "petite lasagna" recipe that might work for some who are allowing a bit more carbs in their daily intake (or if you'd like to just cut a serving in half, they're actually very dense and filling!).

I found it here: http://www.canyoustayfordinner.com/2010/11/04/petite-lasagnas/

They are basically muffin-sized lasagna servings that are made with ground turkey breast sauteed in crushed tomatoes, skim ricotta cheese, and wonton wrappers. One serving comes out to 13.6g of carbs if you follow the recipe to the number.

There are so many different keto recipes it's ridiculous. I've been meaning to look into some of the dessert recipes soon. Good luck to you!

Going back to low carbing after not doing anything the past 4 months. Need to get my butt in gear, any support is appreciated!

ME! ME! ME!! Im actually folllowing the paleo lifestyle its been a month and ive already lost 8lbs
