    Hi, I have been on it for two weeks and I lost 4 pounds. Weight loss is not the reason why I'm doing the Keto diet.

    My biggest struggle with Keto is the willpower. I cheated and had a Chocolate lol. But even when it comes to exercise I just give in way too quickly...

    My husband and I have both been Keto since May - both have lost 30 pounds. yup, tough sometime, but tracking help me make better decisions for the day - what can I cut to stay below 20 carbs, etc... We belong to LCHF on facebook. helps with menu ideas and support. worth a try.

    I started Keto about a week ago. My skin always looks so much better with reduced sugar intake. My diet is in combination with Kayla Itsines BBG workouts. Please feel free to add!

    I was Keto for a while and then fell off the bandwagon. I got back on this week though. I'm used to low carb, but I struggle with getting enough fat.

    i found a formula on dietdoctor.com. If you are strict low carb then eat 20 or less grams and then take your goal weight in kilograms and eat 1 gram of protein for each kg of your goal weight. The rest is fat. On MFP when you go to goals do it manually. Click edit and put in your cals, then go down and put in a percentage under carbs, fats and proteins. You will see the amount on the left change and show in grams. Adjust percentages to get the right number of grams...or close as you can. The percentages have to equal 100 at the bottom.

    @JerriFairy for the past two years I have been eating keto for pain management. In just 30 days my joint and muscle of 40 years at levels of 7-8 to pain levels of 2-3 and remains low today. Keep in mind KETO WOE is very different and impacts people in different ways. Note my giant cholesterol spike below that has resolved. Read, read and read more. Best of success.

    Pre LCHF (two years ago) labs were:
    Total Cholesterol - 226
    HDL - 38
    LDL - 146
    Triglycerides - 209

    9 months of LCHF (one year ago) labs were:
    Total Cholesterol - 404
    HDL - 56
    LDL - 323
    Triglycerides - 121

    17 months of LCHF (today) labs were:
    Total Cholesterol - 257
    HDL - 63
    LDL - 186
    Triglycerides - 36

    The new doctor said keep doing what I am doing because it is working and that now Total Cholesterol has to be at >290 before they consider statins, etc. She was not hype pro LCHF but she said the numbers proved it was working for me. I think my numbers helped her better understand the first year of LCHF sending Cholesterol through the roof is NORMAL for some. I refused statins last year because I knew it was normal to shot up because the body takes a while to stop producing high cholesterol that is produced to protect against high inflammation.
