    There's a low-carb group here. Is there anything in particular you need help with?

    I also suggest you check out the following main low carber daily forum group here in MFP. It's where most of us Keophiles end to hang out:

    So far, so good. I never tested for Keto, but I can see I'm beginning to lose...only thing is my skin looks weird and I'm losing my beloved butt.

    That is because you are becoming glycogen depleted which can give you flat muscles. If you eat carbs again, they will come back. It's also why bodybuilders carb load pre show..

    Or... The weight lost in the butt was not muscle. :(

    Or there has not been enough time to get fat adapted so your glycogen reserves are still slightly depleted. If given time glycogen levels and usage are very similar to that of higher carb eating athletes.

    Possible on the fat loss from her butt, but it's also the water loss associated with carb reduction.
