Hello! Anyone else on a keto diet?

I'm more on the LCHF end then KETO. I have a few more carbs from extra vegetables throughout the day but I eat zero bread/pasta/potatoes and limit the starchy veggies. I love this WOE and won't ever go back. I've been on it since before New Years. Love Love Love. The only thing I miss is popcorn but I make sure to allow it in my macros from time to time (usually once a week as a treat).

Hi! I am new to Keto (as of Tuesday) but an old hand at yo-yo dieting. I think I have an addiction to carbs or something...the more I eat, the more I crave (and bloat ugh). But this seems to be breaking that cycle for me. I am feeling good after the first couple of days and have energy and no bloated feeling

i started keto yesterday! still trying to wrap my head around it but so far so good !!

I just started Keto today. Purchased Keto OS (arrived yesterday) and started on it today with Keto OS shake and Bulletproof Coffee. By afternoon my Keto Stick showed that I was Negative (in Ketosis). I'm looking for help on getting my eating plan in line as I had very few guidelines before beginning. Found Ruled.me online which has helped. I feel really good after my first day!

try ketogenic Dieters on FB grt place to learn

I STARTED THE KETO DIET EXACTLY ONE WEEK AGO AND ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW. AND I'VE HAD THE ENERGY TO WALK 21 MILES IN 7 DAYS. I LOVE IT. OH AND IT ELIMINATED DIABETES, I THREW THE MEDS AWAY !!!

I'm trying to, but my BGL in the morning is throwing me off!

JUST MAKE SURE YOU EAT SOMETHING WITH CARBS IN IT BEFORE BED AND YOU WILL WAKE UP IN THE PERFECT BGL ZONE. I CHECK MINE EVERY MORNING AND EVENING AND ALWAYS WAKE UP 10 POINTS HIGHER THAN WHEN I WENT TO SLEEP.

Hi I am back after a break (as had a baby ☺️)
Is there anyone else doing a low carb high fat diet?

@becwana welcome back and congratulations.

I have been LCHF for 18 months to manage my arthritis joint and muscle pain and one of many positive side effects in my case was some weight left after the pain was managed by my new Way Of Eating. While I lost my fat face first the scales did not drop even one pound for the first six weeks but the pain dropped from a subjective level of 7-8 to 2-3 in the first 30 days of this WOE.

Best of success.

community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group This MFP group has a list of great resources and support on different ways people may do LCHF.

It is not a magical way to lose weight but it is the one WOE in my 65 years that wiped out my cravings for all food types.

I'd love to try under 100g of carbs per day (I clock in at around 150g most days). I love food too much. But I don't eat carbs for dinner.

I began my LCHF way of eating about 10 days ago.

I am absolutely blown away by how GREAT I feel! I can't express it enough. I definitely had a sugar and carb addiction. I felt terrible all the time and until now, didn't know why.

After the first couple days I felt like I came out of the sugar induced fog - Now I feel clear headed, energetic, and vibrant again!! I actually have energy to clean my house, work on my feet all day, and exercise again.

When I was in the sugar/carb addiction cycle I was sore and achey all the time, tired all the time, lacking motivation in life. I would do the bare minimum at work and then come home and flop on the couch, tired. I can't believe I let that go on for so long. Whether I lose weight or not, this way of eating has helped me SO MUCH just by relieving the ongoing general aching and soreness in my body and boosting my energy levels back up.

I have 100 lbs to lose... a long road. I am not counting calories and have no plans to count calories anytime soon. I know myself and that is not the right way for me. I will keep going with the low carb/high protein way and moving more. I have incorporated in other well-being practices as well. I am excited to see where things are at in a few months : ) I have hope! : )

That is kind of like burning your ships so the army knows they either win and get to go home or they die where they are. We read of 1-2 weeks fixing of BG levels but some take much longer. Best of success.

Hi. Im trying a carbnite solution. Im after my first carbnitr and now its time for week 2 . i started diet 12 weeks ago and lost 15lb since then. Looking for another 15 to go.

IMO, if it works for you that's awesome. I am also a fan of having a cheat meal once a week to keep the body in guessing. BUT, I don't know why the CarbNITE solution suggests eating a box of donuts or a whole pizza for that cheat meal. That could ruin your whole weeks worth of progress. My cheats usually consist of lower caloric items compared to donuts and pizza but I also make sure to get a good workout in before or after to ensure not much progress is lost (i.e. popcorn/tortilla chips/graham crackers). BUT again, if it works for you than by all means.
Good Luck!
