    I suggest you check out the main low-carber forum group here in MFP. It's where most of us Ketofiles hang out:

    Long term it could possibly lead to problems so educate yourself on that way of eating. Good luck!

    Thank you, I understand the temporary risks. Long term keto diet is actually highly recommended for people like me with epilepsy. I am just using low carb it as a kickstart and plan on reducing fat and increasing carbs. Peace

    I don't refer to it as a diet either, after a few days all of the cravings disipate! My major area of concern is adding in veggies and berries this week....will I still lose with the highe carb count, do I need to reduce fat?

    How long did it take to lose 22? It says that I have lost 12, but since Jan 4 I have lost about 5 or a little more.
