      Good luck! Just make sure when coming off keto you slowly re-introduce carbs back into your diet so you don't gain the fat you worked so hard to lose right back!

      Definitely come up with a maintenance plan. That's true for all diets, even MFP. The plan for the rest of your life is the key. Good luck OP!
      Also, if you're looking for support, consider joining one of the groups.

      Good luck with the keto diet! I have it as a lifestyle now, personally. Unlike when I used to eat so many carbs, I am now full of energy and strength (since I get most of my fat from protein) while lifting and while not! The thing is, though, if you plan on doing this, do NOT go back to having a lot of carbs, only 50 grams a day maximum. Above that and you will begin to store fat. Not eating starches, sugar, fruits, flour, gluten, and anything with corn helps me keep my carb count down. :)

      I'm staying under 20 as well! I'm very excited to see how it goes! I've been painstakingly researching this diet until I felt somewhat comfortable enough to start!

      Thanks for the tip! I'm really hoping to make this a lifestyle! Bread and pasta were such a huge staple in my life!
