Paleo/Keto/Primal way of eating, looking for buddies

I've been seeing a personal trainer, doing my own research and seeing a nutritionist. After lengthy health questionnaires with my nutritionist it has been suggested that I eliminate gluten, eat low carb, and eat whole fat. This is a way of eating I have tried before, had tons of energy, felt great, but then fell off the wagon and never looked back. But I'm older, wiser and more motivated than ever (only 20 pounds from goal) to do what will serve my body best. However, I know it's hard to do this drastic way of life alone so I'm hoping to find friends who will help me along the way. Please friend request me if you follow this way of life. Thanks, M.

    Do you mind if I ask why you were advised to eliminate gluten? Have you had a reaction to it?

    I'm doing keto! I decided to give it a try at the end of July, after the scale not moving for months and I'm now 20 lbs lighter.
  • I've just started doing keto a week ago and i'm looking for new buddies too =) so feel free to send me a friend request!

    Hi, Pete. Just wanted to comment that you look kinda like writer/director Kevin Smith. Cheers!

    This is my second stint on keto (first time on I dropped 20lbs in two months) and I absolutely love it, it's been the most effective form of "dieting" for me, glad to have found others on MFP who are doing the same
  • Been doing Keto for about 3 months. I've dropped 50 and hit a plateau, but I think I've broken through it by increasing my gym time and switching up my diet. If I don't break through it by the end of the week I'll try a 20/4 fast to get over it. Every week I learn more about keto, my body, and how to make it work. If any one wants to add me to talk about keto or whatever, I'm down.

    i've been grain/sugar free for two years, my family follows scd for some behavior issues with our oldest and my husband and i have learned to love eating this way. i started keto 5 weeks ago to loose the weight i've gained since i stopped breastfeeding. Five weeks and I've lost 11 pounds, 10 to go!
