    That's fantastic Michelle! I'm 7 weeks in
  • That's awesome! I started on Monday and I'm down 3.5lbs. Did any of you experience the "Keto Flu"? If so, how long did it take to subside?

    check out the low carber daily forum here - lots of great info and support!

    I have learned that the best way to get through the keto flu and to avoid it is pickles, pickle juice and full sodium broth.

    I'm just starting keto now! Did it in August and lost 11lbs... how do you guys deal with working out ? I'm an avid runner, lift weights, and pay water polo... everyone tells me to eat carbs before working out but I'm not convinced!

    Hi! I'm not Keto, but I am a Zero Carber from the UK here, in my second week, as of this morning down approx 9.4lbs ^_^ I feel SO GOOD doing this. I wish I'd learned what I know now ten years ago.

    I'm going to start weight and resistance training (with cardio to warm up) in the next couple weeks. Wanted to shed 15-20lbs first.

    I never had Keto flu (although I do ache today, I think it may be that my bed is v. uncomfortable). Not yet anyway! I weaned myself daily off the carbs, so no sugar headaches either :D

    anyone want to start a keto group? It's funny- I try sharing this diet with others and they look at me like i'm crazy...ok, I thought it was crazy at first-but not anymore! anyway, it would be cool to have a group that is just keto and has good recipes/tips etc

    Keto works amazingly well for me. Unfortunately it interferes with the renal excretion of a medication I'm on and ketosis sent my drug levels dangerously high.

    I wish I could join you all. It works so well for my body, but unfortunately unsafe for me while I'm on this drug.
