in Introduce Yourself
Just started Keto 4 days ago and rocking it so far. I've finally come to a place in my life where I am making better food choices generally and so I'm excited to be using MFP to calorie count and track my carbs/fat/protein.

I post food pics and mood updates. Victories and concerns. I wouldn't mind a buddy on this journey with me.

So whatdya think? You in?

    Hi! I started keto Monday and have been tracking my carbs/fat/protein as well! I've lost 6 lbs so far. Can't believe it! I was previously doing paleo and wasn't losing anything. (not gaining either but still...) Would love someone to share recipes and tips with! So, count me in!

    I am now a little under a month into Keto and am 15 lbs down so far. I am loving this lifestyle. It is incredibly easy to manage and prepare for. It isn't crazy expensive and now that I am through the Keto flu, I don't find myself craving the pasta, rice, bread, etc. anymore. I will caution you, if you have never done this diet before, beware the keto flu. It is awful. I know it is a little different for everyone, but I encountered nausea, fatigue, diarrhea, headaches, and a general sense of shittyness. I found that using the great value brand electrolyte water additive (at WalMart with the Mios) daily helped me get through the worst of it. Now that it is over, I feel fantastic again. I have crazy amounts of energy compared to this time last month, I can see the progress a little more each day, and I am having more positive thoughts and feelings toward my body! So far Keto is completely working and worth it.

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