    I've been researching keto and playing around with the idea of starting, how are ya'll liking it? I'm eating paleo right now, but it looks like I could do primal and keto at the same time so I'm thinking about it. Are you all doing low carb, high fat, moderate protein?

    I stick as closely as I can to keto/primal

    Just curious, but why is everyone doing Keto always "just started"? Are there no long-term keto people? Or is this meant to be a temporary diet?

    End of this month will make 2 years for me following this WOE. So, yes, there are long-term LCHFers around out there.

    40 in 6 mos is amazing too! do you exercise like a fiend? ! ;-)
    my left leg had 2 knee surgeries so that + weight gives me a bit of a problem.

    Hadirk,

    I just started too! I'm down 3lbs in a week. But I have been tweaking what I eat. I gotta admit it is very hard for me and there's times I wanna quit. But watch what veggies carbs that are high (not all veggies are friendly). I usually set myself at 50 carbs a day not 20 that's what I heard is normal on Keto, oppose to 220 that MFP guideline gives us but maybe I can lower it but this is what's working for me. I feel great and plan to keep it going! Good luck!

    There's over 30,000 folks doing low carb or keto (including WLS people, diabetic, MS, FM and people just starting, succeeding and maintaining) here:

    There is a huge selection reference materials linked on that group's launch pad as well.

    can someone share with me, what are these fat bombs you all speak of? I've been doing Keto for a week now. I do get a little tired, but can push myself through it and have been putting the water to me. Lost 4lbs and I haven't had any carb cravings. I am sure they are waiting to sneak up on me lol

    I'm not sure about keto. I know it works really well for some people and it is a God send for children with seizures.

    There are many fat bomb recipes on the web but I have never need to use them. I just eat real food. If you are tired, you are likely missing sodium. Again, I urge you to join us at:

    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group

    Lots of experience in a large group with recipes and research material.
