Hi - I'm also new to keto. Does anyone have suggestions on how they track? I am trying to figure out if I should be tracking calories, macros by mgs or percentages? Example: today I'm at 14% carbs (28gms) 44% fat and 42% protein and am not hungry and don't want to eat any more. Am I doing this wrong?1

I'm about 2 weeks in and feeling pretty great1

Have lost 150 lbs on Ideal Protein, a moderate ketogenic diet. I track my food and exercise on MFP but don't rely on the macros. In my experience, first focus on net carbs (try 25-30 a day), 100+ ounces of water and supplements.5

One week down. Feeling good just got over man flu (literal flu. It's winter here and everyone at work and the kids school have it) down nearly 3 kilos which is nice. Hit the loss of appetite already.1

I see mostly women doing the Keto challenge. Why aren't more men interested?3

I've been doing keto for about 3 months. i love it. Use the keto calculator to figure out macros and to get support. https://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/2

Tip: log your food before you eat it so you know how much you can have and make plans to eat more fat/protein if needed..8 -

I follow a group of fb called Ketogains. Go to ketogains.com to use their calculator. You can set it to lose fat, maintain or gain muscle. It's free btw.1 -
I am starting it now. I have heard great things and I am needing friends doing the same lifestyle.0

There is a group on here "low carburetor daily forum" lots in there are keto1

was suppose to start today, didn't go well at all1

Been keto for a few months. Lost 22 pounds, feel great. The best part is no more hunger or cravings. They're gone! And NOBODY was a bigger sugar addict than I was. There are many many sweet keto options, especially if you like to cook.....cookies, cakes, brownies etc. No sugar, no gluten, no grains. Eggs, meat, butter, veggies, minimum processed food. Add in the energy boost and increase in mental clarity and what else can I say? I love this lifestyle and I'm certain I'll drop the last few pounds to get to my ideal weight. Oh I also do intermittent fasting which is also great....it's easy when you're not hungry.2

Been keto for six weeks. Down 12lbs and lost five inches from around my waist. I don't even want bread type stuff anymore. I do not drink BPC regularly but I do IF three to four days a week. I didn't even plan to start fasting. I just don't get hungry.0

Keto here since January. I've lost 100.8 lbs
I also do IF 18:6/5:2. Feel free to add me, I love having active keto friends on MFP!3 -

I track here on MFP because I'm premium. I put in my info to figure out my calorie limit then adjusted my macros to 5% carbs, 75% fat, 20% protein. At 1600 calories that gives me 20 carbs, 80 protein, 133 fat. I do not go above 20 total carbs. (I don't do net) I try to get my protein in and don't worry about the fat. I use the percentages to find out what my grams should be and track using the grams. If feel well and you are losing weight, it should be fine. Usually the fat percent is much higher though. You do not have to eat all the fat grams. They are just there to help you feel fuller if you need them.1 -
I went low carb (less than 50 grams net carbs) seven years ago and lost over 100 pounds. Two years ago I decided to lose the second, and last, 100 pounds I needed to lose. I have been keto for over a year. There are a lot of calculators on line to help you figure out your macros. Also, lots of Facebook groups. I've lost 97 pounds in the past two years and have 11more to go. My diary is open and new friends are welcome.

Been following Keto for about 2 years. Currently 45 pounds down. I'm going through a rough patch where I'm finding it hard to stay on plan. Always looking for more active keto friends who want to actually support each other rather than just posting their streaks and weights. Feel free to add me.3

I've gone over my calorie goal on a regular basis but have still lost 5 pounds already. Low carb is key, I watch that one the most!

low fat isnt keto. if you are eating low carbs you need something to fuel your body,which is where the high fat comes in.2 -

you were still in a deficit if you lost weight,with ANY way of eating you have to be in a deficit and the first big amount of weight loss in keto is mainly water and glycogen stores.1 -
Been doing Keto for 4 weeks with 10lbs lost. I love this way of eating. I still have my kryptonite but I stay as far away as I can. Just follow the rules and it will work for you!

Not necessarily, although I assume she meant eating lower fat in terms of the keto diet. Keto is simply just eating x amount of carbs, so the body goes into ketosis. Some people will simply just increase protein intake, while decreasing their fat intake on keto. Tends to help those who are active, and it can help if you're trying to shave a few extra calories, as fatty foods are more calorie dense.
