1st 10 lbs are gone. I love the water weight stage in the beginning lol… It’s nice to see whooshes consistently. I know not to get used to it, but I’ll take it for now :)

13.5 lb to go until my 1st goal and then I’ll re-evaluate. Realistically I’ll probably aim for another 10 after that.

Doing a "slow carb slide" to try to avoid most of the carb flu, but I think it hit me starting Wednesday :( Trying to fight through it but it's been pretty bad. I didn't think I'd get it roughly 3 weeks in?

    carb flu hits at multiple stages. I got it pretty bad around week 4, I think. It varies with your adaption level. Up sodium and fats (to get through), and add potassium (lite salt is a good option, but there is lots in foods not tracked sometimes) and add a magnesium citrate supplement. Should help tons.

    Congratulations! and hang in there with the symptoms! Hold tight to your reasons for doing Keto and be kind to yourself while you adjust!
