Hello all!
My name is Kenny. I'm originally from California, but now live in New York.
Sure I want to lose a little weight. Since my profile pic I've put on about 25 lbs.... In the last two weeks I've lost 7 of that. My goal is to get down to 180 again.
More important than losing the weight, I've chosen this Keto diet for its othe benefits. I'll be 43 soon, and most of my relatives were taken as a result of heart disease. I feel I'm at the age where my health (and what i put in my body) should be priority one! I know this way of eating is very beneficial to giving me a healthier (longer) life.
I'm finally starting to come out of the "Keto flu" stage, and I'm feeling pretty good. Finally!! If your getting started and would like to join me on this journey, please send a friend request!
Best of luck to everyone, and achieving your fitness goals!!

I am not really getting started, been Keto since last July. Lost about 80 so far with a lot to go. :-) Hope you feel better from the keto flu, I know that isn't fun. Be all over those electrolytes. Salt, magnesium, and potassium are your friends and will help immensely.0

Yeah man sounds good. I just started the keto lifestyle 13 days ago and down 10lbs already. I've introduced intermittent fasting about 4 days ago and man what a difference. I feel 10x better, my body is working more efficiently and my energy level is way up! Plus I only have to plan 2 large meals. I've gained 45lbs since last July due to a hip injury. I had corrective surgery 7 weeks ago today and am ready to shed of the unhealthy weight! I've also found a lot of great recipes and tricks to ketoing since I started. We can do this together man!0

I take a modified Wild Diet approach and I am currently down from a high of 245 to a current weight of 193. While I like keto, it is really hard to plan "family inclusive" meals. That said, I am getting back on the band wagon hard core the first of the month (tomorrow), and sticking to it for 40 days. I usually shed about 15 to 20 lbs doing it. I have a hard time sticking with it longer than that, the temptations just seem to get the best of me. I also have a hard time really putting in the exercise I want due to recurring gout flare ups (one is trying to get my left foot right now).0

I'm new to the Keto diet. I'm with tryin2die2self and am using both the Bulletproof & Wild Diet as a guide with some very slight modifications. I'm really excited! Adding everyone as friends if that's OK. Need all the support I can get.0

Hi just started dieting again, happy to join.0
-
I'm just starting too, on day 2, and have the added challenge of being vegetarian. Gained some weight back after some medical issues and hoping to shed it off and get more exercise in my routine again. New to keto and participating in the community and trying my best to use MFP every day.0

Month into it and loving it. Living a very active lifestyle and weight training six days a week. Anyone here feel free to add me if you'd like.0

I started on Monday and log every day, all meals, snacks, water intake, supplements, et cetera. I'm in this way of eating for the long-run (permanently) and would be happy to join anyone else! I've sent you a request OP and to anyone else, please don't hesitate to send me a request!0

I've been doing my own plan since July of 2015 and am down about 50 pounds. Turns out it is Keto, but I didn't know what Keto was back then. Anyone can feel free to add me as a friend if they like. I don't get into the forums too much here.0

Congrats man that is awesome! I'll definitely add you!0 -
It is exciting to read these posts of you not waited until you were old to make an eating lifestyle change for better health. I have been eating this way for 1.5 years now and still learning. It is for life at this point in time. I did it for pain management and that worked out well. My weight is down from 250 to 200 for the first time in 22 years and it has maintained at 200 for the last year eating all I want of my macro. The 40 years of IBS resolving after the first six month eating this way was NOT expected but welcomed. I have had some demeaning medical remarks because my cholesterol number when up but at the same time my HDL went way up and my triglycerides dropped like a rock so I knew my blood heath was improving in the right direction. Best of success to you all.

I'm starting today, was just thinking of posting a similar call for anyone who wants to do a Bulletproof protocol, which is basically Keto dieting with intermittent fasting and bulletproof coffee. I've tried in January and I like how it doesn't cause fatigue or cravings. This time I want it to be very effective so I will also pay attention to calories-- I was always very hesitant about counting calories but it seems like it matters, also too much protein is also detrimental, so I will have a lots of veggies and fat some protein and minuscule carbs approach, fruit will be hard to give up, but one can have some raspberries at the end of the day.
I'm wondering if anyone has tried the Bulletproof Rapid Fat Loss Protocol. I want results fast in the beginning so I can get motivated (please don't feel the need to comment slowly is better in the long run, perhaps, but I'm at a point where I need to see fast results) and RFLP promises that. But I wonder if anyone had success.0 -

I have read the Bulletproof Diet and I like the anti inflammation claims that Dave makes. However, I do not think his "Rapid" plan is by any means healthy. Based on his own numbers fat loss can not be as high as he claims. If I drink a 100 cal fatty coffee twice a day and my TDEE is 2000 cal, that does not incur a deficit of 3500 cal. Takes two days to make the math work out. He also claims there is no side effects as the Bulletproof mojo and butter fat will keep you going. Then you have a refeed of 6,000 or so clean calories from carbs on day 7. So you would be gaining back at least pound. So I could lose 3.5 lbs in a week and gain back a pound, so 2.5 lbs in a week. Any exercise you do over this is just going to increase loss, though he claims you don't need to do that. This is just slightly over the 2 lbs a week you can do with a deep deficit and moderate exercise. Also, I can't see how only taking in 200 cal of fat per day is not going to incur muscle loss. While you body is going to be robbing its fat stores since your reserves are going to be wasted after Day 1, I don't see how it is not going to touch muscle. To me this Rapid program is a sale pitch. It looks to be unhealthy at best and downright dangerous at worst. I think the Rapid program screams "Let the buyer beware" and by beware, I mean their health!
I say all this as someone who follows the Wild Diet, IF and 24 hour fast regularly. I am on a 24 hour fast today, truth be told, with only a fatty coffee around 7 AM. Going to break the fast with raw oysters and blackened shrimp Tomorrow will be a fatty coffee and IF. Sunday or Monday will probably be another 24 hour fast. I will drop about 7 to 10 lbs of weight my first week, but that is going to be a lot of water. The weight will then parse down to about 2 to 3 lbs per week, as I will take in probably 1000-1200 cal a day + exercise. I will then get back off of it in 40 days. Coast for a few months losing a half pound or so a week and then repeat the process. I really don't see a need to crash the Rapid plan.0 -

Thanks for sharing this. I only saw few anecdotes of the RFPL and none in detail of the person who lost 75pounds in 75 days... and on the initial post he says he will write about that later. So wondering, because I don't want to try something so hard just to be disappointed.
I think it's possible though to not lose muscle... if you are in ketosis, and you should be on the BF IF protocols, then you wouldn't burn muscle but fat since you burn muscle when you are burning carbs and your body converts muscle to that kind of energy... (like the difference between eating fat and protein, too much protein also is detrimental to weight loss)
And yes I think the inflammation and the fact that my stomach really didn't hurt when I did it in January, I think there is good in it in other ways too.0
