Hey! So I'm trying to start this keto diet thing. I could seriously use some people who are familiar with it and willing to give me some tips and pointers during my journey. Food recommendations, suggested macros intake, etc..... i look forward to hearing from y'all! Have a great day and remember that kindness is important!

    macros 5% carb, 20% protein, 75% fat. Keep to a deficit. You're gonna be REALLY tired the first couple of days, cracking headache, but they don't last. Energy levels pick up after a few days, as if you were hit by a giant dispenser of speed.

    Join the low carber daily MFP group for more support. That's where most keto'ers hang out. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group

    Keep you sodium levels up to 3000-5000mg per day. That's about 2 teaspoons of table salt. If you let your levels get low, due to all the water loss, you'll experience the headache and fatigue mentioned above, as well as possibly nausea, BM issues, weakness, muscle aches or cramps.

    Good luck. :)
