Any Keto dieters here?

I'm doing keto/ no carb/ no sugar. I've lost 45 lbs in 4 months. I found all my recipes and information on pintrest! Good luck!

I am. Been on it one week, I've lost 7 pounds.

I went low-carb about two years ago and simultaneously started heavy lifting and cut back drastically on the cardio. Lost 10 lbs. and completely changed my body shape. I know it doesn't work for everyone, but my entire life I believed I was a pear shape and was destined to have proportionately larger thighs and hips. Not anymore!

Also, the cravings completely disappear. I don't want the heavy bread or pasta or rice or whatever in my body. Everyone else (such as family or friends) can eat it to their hearts content. I don't miss it or envy them at all. That's a common misconception when people find out you've eliminated a lot of carbs.

Tons of info on this site and others regarding keto. You'll find a wealth of information.

I've done it before for 3 months, lost 35#. Now I'm on day 4 with 7# lost. Feel free to add me to view my food log! I find all my recipes online. Caveman Keto and Ruled.me are my #1 sources.

I don't really label how I eat but I've been in nutritional ketosis fairly consistently since September (just a couple special events or too much beer here and there) and I've lost 42 lbs (and 10 lbs pre-MFP just from cutting bread and pasta).

Keto right here!

I follow the ketogenic principles. My family has an issue with PCOS and refined carbs are so hard on my body. My daughter has a prescribed blood ketone monitor so I have been able to "cheat" and monitor myself ocassionally with her supples. I have had a bit of a bumpy road figuring out how to make sure I am eating enough--- my understanding nutritional ketosis should be no higher than 3 and starvation ketosis kicks in above that number. I have had readings very consistently in the 5-6 range lately, so I am trying to figure out how to add back in some careful selected calories. I have lost 15 pounds since Dec 2nd, looking to lose about another 15. That will place me back at my typical baseline weight.

low carbs, but no carbs? How is that possible, unless you just eat meat all the time, which is not the best. You do need some vegetables.

I'm doing keto and have not lost. I've taken it seriously 7 straight days.

If so what have you lost so far and how have you found it? Thanks

Been Keto since March 20th last year. Down 60 pounds. At first, I didn't think I would be able to do it, since I LOVE pasta and rice. After the first two weeks however, I lost 15 pounds (mostly water) and didn't crave it anymore.

Are you tracking your calories? You still need to be in a caloric deficit to lose weight.

I've been following the keto diet for about 9 days and I have lost 5 lbs. I also do Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide and cardio 3 days a week each. Love the keto diet. I eat some much coconut oil and just love it. Stick with it and you will get results!

Did Keto for about year. Lost 45 lbs. and most food cravings went away. Unfortunately, I later slipped up and gained it all back and then some. Ultimately I found the whole "forbidden fruit" (literally) aspect of keto to be too hard to maintain in the long run. Keto means saying no to 85% of what's in the grocery store and about 95% of everything on a restaurant menu. Life's too short for that. Now I just count calories and have found that to be far easier.

Having said that, keto teaches good eating and snacking habits. While I could eat half a bag of Chex Mix without thinking, I probably couldn't stomach more than two boiled eggs before feeling full. Yet the caloric difference between the two is about 800 calories. So even today I try to center my meals and my snacks around high protein and fat foods and limit my consumption of pasta, rice, bread and chips - not for any keto reason, but because the former foods make you feel full while the latter do not.

I was on GAPS to heal my gut when I 'accidentally' threw myself into keto last January & lost 30 lbs in 3 weeks.

I love keto. I've lost over 100lbs total, more to go. I lost at least 30lbs on keto.
