New to MFP-Starting a ketogenic lifestyle

Hi, I just joined MFP and the low carb group this morning.
A little about myself...I've struggled with my weight for the last 15 years. I have very high levels of insulin, which make it very easy to put on fat and very difficult to get rid of it. I have tried exercising more, counting calories, HCG, weight watchers…nothing seemed to make much of a difference until I found Keto!
I started reading about different ways of eating and I am convinced that the ketogenic lifestyle is by far the healthiest way of eating for EVERYONE but especially those that struggle with insulin resistance/blood sugar issues. Its just tough to stay on it in a world where you are bombarded with "healthy" whole grains and low fat options.
I've had good results with keto in the past but always end up falling off the wagon
I'm hoping that by being part of a group and using MFP, will help me stay on track this time!

Welcome. There are a couple of Keto groups on MFP that are very supportive and informative. Here is a new group just started: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/103001-3-month-keto-challenge

Welcome! I love the Keto lifestyle!! Did it for 6 months and then I fell off during the holidays. Put on 10 lbs in 4 weeks but I ate like a pig
On Keto, I feel like a normal person... no binging, no hunger. So I'm back it again, 14 days in as of today. Going to start lifting again, too. 0 -
Welcome solefit488 I'm pretty new too but this seems like a really lovely place to be! I wish you every success getting back to Keto again.0
