    Ive heard following the KETO diet is dangerous. Is that true? Just looking for honest answers not trolling.

    The research I have done does not indicate that it is dangerous unless you have certain existing health issues (kidney disease being the most serious). It was suggested to me by my Doctor, but I would also like more friends who follow it, as I am a bit confused by the macros I should be set at and things like that.

    Edit to clarify: Most of this reply was to answer BeardedStudWarrior's question.

    I've been Keto since January and I've lost 15 pounds. A few ways I add fat are chicken/tuna salad with plenty of mayo, bulletproof coffee (McT or coconut oil and butter blended into hot coffee), and heavy whipping cream. I'm also looking for Keto friends.

    I'm just starting out on keto but I did (doctor supervised) LCHF for a while last year with really good results (both for weight and blood sugar). Aiming to be a little more focused this time and to make it lifestyle rather than a short term fix. Happy to have more keto friends although I'm not sure if I count as serious yet!

    I'm keto, add me if you want. My only issue with it is I start to lose a little energy when I'm at the heaviest end (not dehydrated, I drink coffee, tea, and water all day), so I'm trying to figure out the sweet spot with it.

    Hello everyone! This thread doesn't seem particularly active right now (lol), but I'm looking to start a ketogenic eating style and I'm looking for friends/support. I'm a complete newbie, so any input from anyone who has done it
    or is doing it now is greatly appreciated! =)

    Definitely not. There are major health benefits. Too many to list. Low carb in general is basically our natural human diet.
    Check out this site for more information and you will also find more links for even more info and studies if interested. www.ruled.me/guide-keto-diet/
    I've been Keto for over 3 months now and I've never felt better! I'm also smaller than I have been in over 15 years!

    I am at 300 days more or less eating under under 50 grams of carbs due to cutting out most all sugar and all grains. Pain levels are now well managed just from diet. IBS cleared up and has been totally gone for 4+ months, etc.

    In the last couple years before I started Very Low Carb Very High Fat (coconut oil was the first fat that I added) I did lose from 250 to 230 on my normal diet but just eating less by going hungry but not much net results.

    On LCHF I stay stuffed most of the time and over the last 300 days have lost a little over 30 more pounds putting me just under 200 for the first time in 22 years. I am eating about 2600 calories most days but it takes 3000 for me to maintain which I stop and do after every 10-15 drop in weight.

    Most people are not going to cut back or cut out carbs so LCHF is not a way of eating for the masses. I do it for other health reasons but weighing less is a plus for my other health issues.

    After 40 years of abusing carbs they had done a number on my health so a healthy person may have very different response than I did.

    There is NOTHING magical about eating < 50 grams of carbs daily to stay in a state of nutritional ketosis. In my case I can not abuse fat the way I can abuse carbs because I feel up and would gag if I tried to eat more high fat foods so I wind up reducing my calorie intake due to eating VLCHF. On carbs I could eat until I burst for some reason.

    After trying it for 90 days in a serious way you will know if it is for you for life or not. I plan to be a lifer.

    I do up to 5 keto days per week and 2-3 carb days per week. 70% fat 25% protein 5% carbs on my keto days is what I normally do.

    Keto here! Down 6lbs in 3 weeks. I definitely feel like the others, I can eat carbs for days but get full quickly off high fat. I'm definitely still learning though!

    Maybe try increasing your fat first :smile: Ibe been on a 2 month plateau before haha. It took me two months to lose 2 pounds, and it was because of too high protein, too low fat, and my deficit was steadily growing smaller day by day (I was not logging honestly!)

    Hi! I'm just stating keto, I'm on day 2 now. I would like some friends who know about the plan. I definitely need support and I am supportive in return.

    Search for the low carb group (LCD) in MFP. I don't know how to link it. It's a great group.
