    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.

    I just started today also. ROUGH first day. I thought I was doing awesome till I logged all my food! =(

    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!

    I'm keto but low fat. I lose better this way.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    keto is called low carb high fat for a reason. its not low carb,moderate fat, its not low carb high protein either.its low carb,moderate protein and the rest fat which its stated at least 60% of a keto diet should be fat.you do know that protein is converted into glucose? ketosis is what happens when you dont get enough carbs to be broken down into glucose so your body runs on the fat and that helps it to produce the ketones. There is a difference between keto/low carb.

    Been in ketosis for 10 months...In Food/Settings...I recommend you put carbs and fiber next to each other so you can easily calculate your next carbs every day. I add the answer in the notes box so I can look back easily for the week.

    The "carb goal" varies greatly from person to person depending on what the end of goal is. That said, 25 carbs per day or less is good.
