in Introduce Yourself
Hello hello! I just finished my first week of Keto and am looking for other positive LCHF friends. There are a lot of great food recipies to share and we can keep each other motivated. My goals: cut back on processed foods, exercise 4-5 times a week, loose 60 pounds and get back to a size 6.
Feel free to add me :smiley:

    This is a MFP group that tries it seems to offer good open minded keto info.

    My first month was a bear because of 40 years of carb abuse meant my craving level was high and a hard nut to crack. In the end I just had to cold turkey them. The cravings are gone but not their memory.

    The son has a quart of boiled custard in the frig containing 176 grams of carbs. In the past I have drank two quarts within two hours. :( When I went to read the carbs just now I got out four sticks of celery. :)

    Keto means different things to most people but to move from running on glucose only to running mainly on ketones for your fuel it more or less means eating 80% fats, 15% protein and 5% carbs.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketogenic_diet

    The first month was one heck of a steep hill to climb in my case. After a while it is more like one is on autopilot. Carbs are the mountain ranges in your flight path. Miss them and all should be well.

    I do nutritional ketosis as my new eating lifestyle for arthritis pain control. Weight loss (if over weight), no more IBS, food allergies, sharp mental clarity all day with no sugar crashes/cravings are just a few of the other side effects. I have yet to find any negative side effects in my case.

    I am starting back up. Been keto / low carb since 90s. Going to use a Carbonite cycling method and eating whole foods (paleo). I had great success but I always get off rails.

    Hi lovely keto people! I experimented with keto for 6 weeks - I did loose weight and felt fab, fell back in to old habbits and Christmas has been a bit of a disaster in the diet department, I've just got a big batch of bone broth in the slow cooker and starting to meal plan - January the 2nd is my start day - I will also increase exercise - I am determined! Please add me and we can share our journeys :smile:

    Started before New Years. The weight loss is a bonus, but just want to eat better all around. It forces you to look at the carb values when you want certain foods such as the plate of pasta - 65g!!! Not going to happen!
