I've been on Keto for about a month consistently, and I really love it! I'd love to hear some of your favorite low-carb recipes, and stories you have from Keto. Feel free to add me, I'm very positive and encouraging, and I would love to have some Keto friends

Hi there! I need some keto friends too
I have been on keto for 5 days and lost 7 pounds, but then i had to go have some surgery done and I ate normal...I've gained 4 pounds back so, I restarted back Tuesday and I am already back to where I left.... I am not 100% sure is water loss...
I totally love it too but !!!0 -
I LOVE Keto!! Not much of a sugar person anyway - do miss my Pepsi tho - but totally worth it @about 3lb a week!!! "Miracle Noodles" are ok - kind of a pain to make taste worth it. Carbs are the worst!! I'm amazed at all the things that will max out carbs for the day. I'm determined though.0

Oh my goodness h2oladee!!! I am NOT seeing those results and I want to SO bad. I lost 3.1 in the first week, than had my TOM but managed to drop 2 more, and this week I haven't dropped ANY yet! I don't get it! I've toyed with my calories, I eat between 1,000 and 1,100 per day and I was eating 60% fat, I just upped that to 70% yesterday. How are you doing it? I have ketostix and it says I'm in Ketosis0

kiknitwite,
1000-1100 is very low and 60% fat seems low too...For example I have 72.5 % fat... are u taking MCT oil or coconut oil? Are u working out?0 -
Hey kikinitwite!
I'm keeping calories @1000 or less for the most part (I haven't been very active so figure I don't need many!) Haven't been worrying too much about fat... I get plentyAm trying to keep my carbs under 20 and that's tough! Carbs seem to be in EVERYTHING! No bread, flour, potatoes, rice etc.- most 'white' foods. I make Butter Lettuce (instead of bread) sandwiches, eat eggs & bacon- no toast or hash browns! Real butter, real mayonnaise. Chicken breast w/ 1/4c. Bertoli Alfredo sauce canned and fresh veggies with butter. Not depriving myself at all really, except I do miss my pepsi (I do have (1) 7.5oz can a week) and I eat very little fruit because of so many carbs and sugar. I stay pretty much in moderate keto so far....
I'll be happy to help you out with any tricks I learn! I also take "Now7-Keto" a weight management 100mg. veg. capsule twice a day. They are supposed to promote Thermogenisis. I've had some slow weeks too. Don't beat yourself up about it.0 -
Great website MzSmythe...Thanks!0
