in Introduce Yourself
I'm very new to Keto. Today will be my official first day. I have been slowly drcreassing my carb intake to make the transition easier. Some motivation and support would be awesome! I'm trying to reset my daily goals and I'm not sure how much protien and fat I should have. Not worrying abouty calorie intake is VERY nee to me as I've always paid attention to calories. I'm very excited about this transition and have read great things about the keto lifestyle.

    Hello All, I'm just starting my keto journey too. Today is day 7 for me. I'm combining it with intermittent fasting on a 16/8 schedule. Those first few days were really rough but it is getting better now. I working on it alone right now but I'm hoping my husband will join me soon.

    It gets easier. I don't even miss bread anymore. I do want to make some Keto deserts. The keto fudge looked delicious

    @ZoraMia...Keto Flu is due to electrolyte imbalance. Up your sale intake immediately. When you follow this way of eating, your body REQUIRES a MINIMUM of 3000-5000mg sodium EVERY DAY!! Eat pickles and/or olives. Drink pickle juice. Dissolve a bouillon cube in the appropriate amount of water and drink 2 cubes per day. I also strongly recommend you check out the group linked to above!
