    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.

    Started keto a few days ago! Just joined on here today. Wouldn't mind a few friend-adds. C: I'm always up for seeing others' progress and stories and general chit-chat.

    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.

    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!

    The only thing that turns off the cravings is the low carb lifestyle. I do 3 days of under 20 then try to stay under 70 a day. That keeps my monster quite. you can add me as a friend :)

    I follow a Paleo Diet. I made the change sometime before Thanksgiving. I has amazed me that I no longer have any cravings and easily stay under my calorie goals to lose the weight I need to lose. I'm 66 years old so I've had struggles for a long time. I'm gluten intolerant so I've had problems with food for most of my life. I started tracking my food on mfp after the first of the year but I hAD ALREADY LOST 15 -18 LBS.
    But my question is: Is Keto and Paleo the same? similar? I don't know enough about it. I'd love to know. Thanks.

    I agree. I've turned to almond flour to my diet and am very satisfied with the pancakes, etc I can eat on my Paleo diet. I've found Paleo Cookbooks are necessary for me to get in the paleo mindset. Wish I could find an affordable almond flour though.

    Me! Doing CKD. Two weeks in. Most days around 20-30g carbs - one day a week higher. I've finally broken a 6 month period of gaining. :-)

    I feel more energetic than ever.

    I am currently "trying" to keep my carbs under 30 grams but unfortunately I have been having some issues with that lately. Lost 27 pounds quickly from October 29 to December 31. I have stalled... Not lost but not gained either. I need to bite the bullet and lower my carbs to 20 grams to kick start everything. Please add me guys.. I could use the motivators. Most people on here hear the word low carb and they freak out on you. I try to do what works for me.

    I am on a keto diet myself.Life is hard when you are an ovo-lacto vegetarian on a keto diet so it would be great to have some low carb friends for support and general chitchat :)

    doing slow carb diet, which is not low as it involves eating beans (which qualifies as slow carb not low carb)
    but results are perfect so far.
    slow carb diet also involves one cheat day a week, which decreases a lot the cravings and allows you to enjoy saturday without worrying aout supper with friends etc...
