I started using MFP about a month ago. I also decided to change my eating habits as well. I have tried almost EVERY diet and weightloss fad and plan there is when my doctor told me that I should try ketogenic eating which is low carb high fat and so far it is working and I looove it! I know its not for everyone but it definitely works for me! Looking for others on here that are following a Keto lifestyle as well and just others who are trying to get healthy :)

    You might check the groups out. There are a few Keto dieters on here. Most of us opt for a less restrictive approach so Keto doesn't get much love on the main forums. Good luck to you.

    With Keto you should stay under 50 carbs a day....most ppl stay under 30...I try to stay under 25.....with Atkins I believe you can have a higher amount of carbs...

    Nope, Atkins phase 1 is a ketogenic diet.
