Hi, thanks for letting me join! I am not new to controlling carbs but recently am making the transition into keto. Lost forty pounds but to long after a diabetes diagnosis a couple of years ago. (I have another hundred or so to Go, give or take. Yikes, is that still hard to even just write!) Anyway I did that mostly logging everything and trying to keep my carbs below 50-100. Though I was working sugar into those macros and i really shouldn't have been. Then i stopped trying as hard but held steady for several months. Then this year I started stress eating again and put 25 back on. I now almost have that back off and an looking forward going further now that I'm re focused.

Dr. says that as long as I keep going the way i am and continue losing there is no reason to think I'd ever have to on insulin or stay on my medications forever. That is a great motivator in and of itself.

Anyway I've recently lowered my carbs to 5℅ which is lower than I've ever gone, and and upping my fats has been scary but so far my body seems to be responding. I'm determined to be at goal this time next year!

Sorry that got so long! I'm looking forward to interacting with like minded people and picking the brains of the lchf veterans! Feel free to friend me if you like, I could use all the support I can get!

Thanks for your time! :-)
