    Make sure you get enough sodium.

    I'm in week 5 of vegetarian keto and I feel great.

    The first few weeks were a shocking change for me, but all you read is true: the cravings go away, you feel more motivated, and I've lost 7 pounds so far.

    Be sure to include coconut oil and greens/broccoli/cauliflower, etc for fiber!

    I have been on it going on 4 weeks. The first week was hard, but it gets easier.

    Using exogenous ketones can be helpful as well. I started with Coconut oil with 62% MCTs, now considering moving to 100% MCT with MCT oil.

    Started my 4th week today, down 10lbs (water weight mostly), and feel awesome. I never went through keto flu, but I also take magnesium and potassium supplements every day, as well as a BCAA (two scoops a day if I'm working out, one on rest days). No cravings, which is odd for me, but also awesome. I do make sure to have snacks on hand at home and at work - hard boiled eggs, almonds, pickles, cheese, etc.

    Make sure you're looking at all nutrition labels. There are a lot of things that have hidden carbs you wouldn't even begin to think about. I'm pretty good at keeping my net carbs under 20g a day, but I can easily get up to 30g without being kicked out of ketosis (most people can go up to 40g, but I haven't had a need for that). Feel free to add me :).

    Don't bother supplementing with exogenous ketones.They dont help you lose any more fat than you would on a keto diet.All you're doing is lining the pocket of the sellers.

    MCT/Coconut is not a exogenous ketone

    Depending on how lean you are, how much you exercise and how much glycogen/water you are storing, that might be an aggressive goal.


    Also, as an FYI, typing in cap lock insinuates yelling.
