      Same diet here. Lost 21 lbs and I'd like to lose another 20. I'm a veteran at this diet as I've done it off an on for years now. Never stuck to it long enough to reach my goal though. This time I'm not quitting. I've been in Ketosis since March.
      Feel free to add me anyone. Good luck to you all!

      Top 10 low carb tips please.

      I have things set at 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbs. Too much protein and the body can turn it into glucose.
      My calories are set at 1300, but I allow up to 1500.
      Feel free to friend me.

      Welcome :) . I've been LCHF since February 1 (20g of carbs per day or less, almost always less) and am down 49lbs so far. If you haven't added yourself to the Low Carb Daily group you should definitely do so!

      That's awesome! I just started 3 weeks ago and haven't lost much weight. I really do need help to see the kind of food you eat so I can follow

      I was put on a low carb diet while pregnant to manage my pre-diabetes. I went off of it after I had my baby and gained weight like crazy and felt like crap. I've gone back on it, feel amazing and have already lost a few pounds. I'm pretty excited.

      I'm on LCHF. Anyone can feel free to add me. I just got back on MFP. Trying to lose that last 20 now. (I lost 20 before, then gained 10 because I got careless.) Female in my 30s, who loves to run, if anyone wants to add a similar friend.

      The Low Carber Daily MFP group is where most low carbers hang out. They're a great source of support and information. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group

      I am on the lo carb as well. Have been off and on for one year. I have lost 61 lbs so far. I am in a huge plateau. I could use some help. What is every one eating? Like what do you eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and how many carbs are you taking in a day. I have 20-25 pounds left to go. I have lost since 2011 91 lbs.
      Help please.

      Started this past Monday and am already seeing results! I definitely feel like this sustainable because there are so many options it's almost like you're barely limiting yourself add me and we win and lose at the same time

      Low Carb here too. 9lbs down the first 2 weeks and then it stopped. Could use a cheer leader.

      I fell off the low carb wagon hard when last summer ended. Life just got super busy, and I stopped pre-planning and meal prepping. I regained everything I had worked to lose and then some. Meanwhile, I watched my boss, who started low carbing the same time as me last year, steadily lose weight, and now he looks great. No joke, he was a huge man before. Now, he just looks normal-sized. Anyway, I am coming to terms with the fact that I really need to follow this way of eating for life. I cannot control my eating following the standard American diet. The sugar and carbs just set me off, and I am truly afraid I will end up diabetic. So, I restarted LCHF January 10th, 2017 and I am down 18 pounds.

      Incidentally, I ran across a very interesting book called "Fight Cancer with a Ketogenic Diet". I found this after discovering a web site called kosher keto and reading the story of a woman who uses the keto diet to help control potential recurrence of her very aggressive cancer. My interest was peaked. As it turns out, the keto diet also shows promise for sufferers of epilepsy, Parkinsons, MS, Alzheimer's, ADD/ADHD, and of course diabetes, type 1 and type 2. There were others, but I can't remember them all. As cancer, Alzheimers, ADHD, and diabetes are all familiar to my family, I can't ignore the potential benefits besides weight loss!

      I notice a lot of you are trying to low calorie this weight plan. You cant. You have to keep fat high to continue to lose. I try to use all my 25-30 carbs for vegetables. See which veggies are the lowest and use those. The true diet is high fat, high protein, low carb. Every time I get confused and start trying to eat :"healthy" I quit losing. You cannot keep this up for long though. After a month I take a week of healthy veggies and a fruit a day. Then right back on. I will have to keep this up forever. I am never hungry or have munchies on this plan. As soon as I start adjusting its blown. Good luck

      i don't think you want proteins in the high category either, more moderate. but yeah, high fat.

      can anyone explain the advantages of a LCHF diet I am new to MFP and feel so overwhelmed I am trying to make better food choices that stick with me so they can turn into a lifestyle change but theres so many types of diets and information out there that its difficult to really pick which is the best for me and my needs

      @vrva_ncol1 ...what are your needs?

      Even though I follow LCHF myself, the above chart is quite accurate. Find something that works for you, that is easy for you to follow and which you feel is sustainable and just do that. Low carb isn't for everyone (shrug).

      I read The Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung and the research cited makes so much sense to me. I've been on Weight Watchers for years but have always caved to cravings, regaining the 25 lbs. lost, and never reaching goal. I am on day six of Dr. Fung's plan and my sugar cravings are completely gone, which amazes me. I am a believer now in a LCHF plan with no refined carbs or artificial sweeteners.
