    Feel free to add me as a buddy. Just restarted keto after a few months of blah. The more folks I see doing keto will help keep me motivated to stick with it.

    I was just curious if anyone really understood how a Keto diet actually worked within the body.

    On a very basic level, your body gets trained to burn fat for fuel...and doesn't discriminate between dietary and body fat....resulting in weight loss. Also resulting in more energy, elevated mood, and better overall health...at least thats been my experience. Last time around I lost 30 pounds in two months. This time I have been doing keto for 8 days so far.

    I've restarted my keto diet too. Lost 35# in 3 months last time. Now I'm on day 4, 7# down already. Easiest diet I've ever done. Feel free to add me to review my food log to get ideas for those trying it out!

    I was hoping to find people who understood the real mechanism of cellular respiration lol. You lose a lot in the beginning due to water. The whole process of depleting the glycogen stores in muscle tissues and in the liver. Why they actually call it a ketosis diet. How to measure your ketones and what range you fall in with the amount of ketones in your body. Instead, everyone just knows it burns fat for fuel.

    I am on a ketosis based journey, used it years ago for 2 weeks just to drop a bit off, this time I intend to make a one off change to my body.
    9 days into the journey 11lbs down.

    So I use protein shake once or twice a day, soup for one meal, smoked salmon strips for lunch, spicy food for dinner. I exercise as well.
    How do you all stay in Ketosis?

    Oh and how far up the ketone scale is the best position ?
    Are there any issues with exercising and Ketosis ?

    Oh, oh! I will be adding everyone from this thread. I will be doing the keto diet as well and would love to be around those who are doing it, too. It's so much better to be in pairs than on our own sometimes. The support is amazing.
