    Hey there. I am doing Keto. Have been studying, playing with recipes and observing some rules for a year now, but only did solid Keto for 2 months. I loved it but got pissed I was not losing much weight. I only lost about 4 lbs the first week then went back and forth between 3 lbs for the rest of the time. So I had a major cheat day-after reading it could help. Well, idk, not sure it did help. I restarted the diet 4 days ago- the day after the cheat day. I don't have a lot of weight to lose, just 5 (more) lbs, but want to be more firm and to feel better. I know I have sensitivity to carbs and want to have more stable blood glucose levels and clearer thinking, more energy etc. I have several recipe ideas if you are interested.

    I am restarting Keto. It has been a little over a year since my first attempt at Keto and I lost 15 lbs and didn't exercise. My first attempt was successful I think, because it was a joint effort with my husband. Our household embraced the keto lifestyle. Of course, the holidays came around, hosting a Christmas Dinner party with my family, I slipped and kept slipping until the weight came back on, and I might add additional STRESS starting creeping into my life. I made many failed attempts of getting re-started over the year.

    In the meantime, I kept studying the keto diet by reading books (13) reading blogs, reviewing recipes, watching Youtube videos, uploading apps. This is the end of my first week on my second attempt, and I looked back over this past year, and realized I have to be committed to me. I want to make this a lifestyle. I have to love me more. I too want to definitely have more energy, more mental clarity and to feel good in my clothes. More importantly, I want to be healthy on the inside too. I am getting older and my metabolism has changed. Carb addicted, I am. Once it is on my lips, I CRAVE more. I am looking for support, motivation and encouragement, I have ran into some very strong WHYs I gotta do this, of a personal nature, that I want to keep in the forefront of my mind. I love watching before and after pictures and testimonies. I need to do my measurements and take my photos and keep it in my face. Love to stay connected. Let's Do This!

    Hi everyone! I might be a bit late to join the conversation, but I'm a newbee to Keto lifestyle. I have been following the paleo lifestyle for the last 2 years or so, at the start I was losing a lot of weight but as I got comfortable I started packing on my (Paleo) carbs and found I was only maintaining my weight. I came across the keto and I'm so excited to see how I proceed with this, especially as I have heard great testimonies just as you all mentioned. I would love to add you guys as friends, so we could support eachother in the journey and what we eat :smiley:

    Yes. It's under goals and you just set your macro percentages to what you want. Unfortunately they are in increments of 5%. I have mine set at 70 fat, 25 protein, 5 carb. As long as I'm between 5-8 percent carb at the end of the day, I'm golden. Hope this helps!
