Keto diet

Just starting today. Happy eating

Hi Judi, I have used the fit program before and lost 20 lbs. Within the last couple of years I had two death, my best friend and less than a year later my father, who has also been another of my best friend. I want to get the weight off, for my health, my hob, my husband, and most important ly for myself. I'm trying to do low carb. Any advice you can give would be much appreciated. Not to mention having a new friend who is achieving results. Susie

Hello!
I'm Judi... 62 & a longtime fitness pal lover! & I'm going into week 4 on keto!! 8lbs. Down (good for me!) I have energy & no cravings! This is for me!! Looking for friends to share ideas, successes, recipes & everything in between!

@judimarie513 searching for pain management at age 63 in Oct 2014 I accidentally wound up Low Carb High Fat when I went off of added sugar and all forms of all grains. It was a hellish two weeks in my case but after the first two weeks my cravings dropped like a rock. 30 days in my 40 years of pain levels of 7-8 dropped to levels of 2-3 and still are dropping over two years later. After 40 years of life defining IBS it fully resolved after 2 months and has not been an issue even once in the last 2 years.

This Way Of Eating seems easy to me now but it was a major relearning curve. I was at the point where I needed help to get in and out of the car so it was a slow recovery in my case. This WOE will be different for each of us. Give yourself 12 months to make this WOE work for you.

The folks at this sub form helped me grasp what Keto is and the key points to succeed long term. community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group

Welcome to MFP forums all and best of success.

what are some suggestions for healthy fats to eat please

Just started today! Looking to lose 30lbs by late June.

@jainlor in my case since Oct 2014 I just try to keep my daily carbs under 50 grams and protein under 100 grams. I let the rest run wild but do weigh myself daily to keep a tab on my net CICO results.

Coconut oil, heavy whipping cream and most any kind of tree nuts make up a lot of my fats.

In my case I was going for pain management and weight loss was just a nice side effect that I did need as well. By totally taking weigh loss off the table and only watching my carb and protein intake I think has been key to success this time because I have maintained for two years now after yo-yoing weight for 40 years.

Learning Keto and how it works in your specific case I think is job #1. I did not lose the first point until day 45 then the rate of drop scared me. However I was loosing inches during those first 45 days.

Happy ketoing everyone. For more information and a lot of friendly and knowledgeable people, please join us in these two MFP communities.

I started keto today(again). I need to give the 2 weeks a go and not CHEAT!!

My son who is an athletic/fitness trainer & his girlfriend have started this Keto diet & have told me & his Dad about it, so we are going to try to start it. My husband loves carbs & I love sugar, so it will be hard for us. This week we are just SLOWING down as we have two night outs for supper this week. So listening to how others do it will be helpful.
