So instead of hashing out all of the negativity with the F&^% KETO post, why don't we all say what we love about keto?

-I am very rarely ever hungry
-I'm eating amazingly delicious food
-The weight seems to be coming off effortlessly
-I am able to lift more weights than I was pre-keto
-My mind is more clear
-Moods are more stable
-I don't get the shakes after not eating for 2 hours
-BACON

    - Finding out I really can have a normal sized ______ (fill in the blank) Never though it possible.
    - This way of eating comes so naturally to me it is SCARY - and I love that!
    - I have energy and feel like a normal functional daytime person.
    - I don't have to eat immediately upon waking or immediately before bed.
    - I can IF if I choose without losing my sanity.
    - My thyroid, blood sugars/insulin, cholesterol, blood pressure, and PCOS have all improved!
    - I'm losing inches, y'all.
    - LC friends are the best in the universe
    - BACON, definitely bacon.
    - I don't narc out/pass out after eating. Period.
    - No more moody crazy Carly - unless it's a fun weekend. ;)
    - DARK CHOCOLATE...
    - CHEESE
    - Ticking off my fiance
    - LOSING INCHES! Like lots of them.
    - All the amazing food I can eat!
    - Rocking flavored tea
    - Better bow-chicka-wow-wow...

    I could go on for days, and I'll probably add more later, but these are my immediate highlights.

    I agreed. Love Keto. Weight is coming off, no hunger. When you do Keto with diligence it really works.

    • No hangries!
    • No more belly bloat- seriously I finally have"morning stomach" when I go to bed at night, too!
    • Dinner tonight- Ribeye w/ garlic butter and zuchinni chips (yum)
    • I feel in control which gives me such a positive outlook.

    No way am I giving this up!

    Hooray for keto!

    Aside from the obvious (weight loss, reduced cravings, etc.), I've experienced:

    Cleared up sinuses! I've had chronic sinus trouble as far back as I can remember. Now I can breathe!

    Because of that, I'm sleeping better, and my sleep apnea is gone.

    Those two things alone make it worth it for me. <3 keto.

    You guys are a wonderful surprise tonight:) I am so sick of hearing negative stuff about how I am eating when only I know how much better I am feeling. My list:

    -Never hungry and sometimes "forget" to eat at all
    -Bacon and eggs fried in bacon grease!
    -No more swollen legs
    -No more PMS
    -My skin is clear and no longer dry
    -My hair is not as oily (wouldn't think those two would be from the same thing)
    -My libido is back!
    -Cream based soups, full fat dressings, pecans and butter.
    -My memory is better...like way better and I am so relieved.
    -Its easy.
    -I spend less money on groceries--even when you count the erythritol I buy for fat bombs.
    -Ketostix reinforce that it is working
    -NO CALORIE COUNTING (at least not for me--YMMV)

    -I can raise or grow everything for my diet on my little homestead

    -my skinny *kitten* boyfriend doesn't complain of too much "rabbit food"

    - with my supressed appetite, i don't have to worry about food choices when i leave my cave for civilization, because i'm simply not hungry (and not able to find the caps key on my tablet tonight as well apparently).
