      Did you stick with keto? I'm in my first week and love it do far. I started on a low carb diet and gradually transitioned to keto. I don't even miss bread. It's great!! And I love the food.

      I'm two and a half weeks into paleo/keto (after only doing paleo for a year and a half). I broke a 2-month plateau and have lost 4 pounds so far! Hoping for continued success -- I'm planning on doing one month on and one month off until my wedding this fall.

      Any videos, websites, dumb-it-down-for-me advice anyone can give me? Thanks! :)

      Hello and welcome! I suggest you check out the following main low carber daily forum group here in MFP. It's where most of us Ketophiles tend to hang out:

      @Lexational ...just fyi, "Ketu Flu" is due to electrolyte imbalance. When you follow this way of eating your body requires a minimum of 3000mg-5000mg of sodium every day. Up your salt intake immediately. Eat pickles and/or olives. Drink pickle juice. Salt your food as heavily as you can stand it. Dissolve a bouillon cube in the appropriate amout of water and drink 2 cubes per day.

      Keto dumps the sodium held in by excess glucose stores. Get your sodium up beyond what you think is necessary. 3tsp of salt is about 5-6g of actual sodium.

      @PISTASZCZUK Low carb is under 100-150g of carbs per day. A ketogenic diet is very low carb or 0-50g of carbs per day. Most start at around 20-30g.
