Keto cutting

Lets do it ! I've done Keto since March of this year and I know it works, however with my kids visiting back to back it's been havoc on Keto !!!

I'm in!

I am in, too!

Hey, All! I'm about a week into Keto. Liking it so far. Looking for a group for accountability and sharing. I'm a mom of three kids. I would like to take off another 65 pounds or so. Currently I'm down ~10 pounds in ~2 weeks (seriously not crash dieting) . Looking forward to challenging with you!

I'm new to MFP..again. I just started Keto a few days ago, and I was actually shocked when I stepped on the scale this morning. I had lost over 7lbs in 2 days! I surely don't expect it to keep up at that pace but I'm all in! I'm kind of expecting the dreaded "Keto Flu" to set in. Looking forward to having some people to do this with!

I re- started my weight loss efforts back in March of this year. After being out of the military 1 year I had a host of health issues and was fat! I looked in the mirror on 6 March and decided I was tired of being 34, 307 pounds, taking a fist full of prescriptions every day and still feeling like crap! So I made a change. After my first almost 30 pounds lost, towards the end of April, I began working out again as my health conditions had vastly improved and I was feeling good for once. I dropped about another 15- 20 pounds and stumbled onto Keto almost a month ago. This coming Monday will mark my one month on keto and I am about 70 pounds down since i began in March. I am definitely down with an accountability group and people to share in the struggles and successes with! I am even going to do an egg fast to revitalize my weight loss as the last almost two weeks i haven't lost more than a couple of pounds. Count me in!!! Let's do this!!!

I've been looking into it and trying to research (along with a friend of mine). Think I need more research but need to do something. I'm on so many meds and in pain which makes it hard to workout (even though dr's are like, workout it'll help and lose weight); uh, yeah no problem. I take 5-7 steroids a day and in the past couple years have went from like 140 or 145 to 167 and sometimes more. Something has to change and sometimes I feel like, if I could just clean my system out somehow....just maybe. Anyways, I want to try it and I'm want to join to get any inspiration or ideas...hope that's ok. And if anyone can help me with ideas, that would be awesome. Oh yeah, I'm a fruit lover and have figured out that I'm eating way too much fruit and not enough veggies ☺️

Fruits and keto don't mix in most cases unless you are in more of a maintenance phase. It has everything to do with limiting the amount of insulin you allow your pancreas to produce from the glucose you supply it (sugars and carbs). The important thing to note is that your carbs come from your veggies, but you want to make sure your veggies are the cruciferous kind as they contain less natural sugars and more fibers and minerals. Also, fat is your friend!!!! It is necessary to convert yoir body to fat burning. When you deny the body of glucose and the pancreas no longer can create insulin, it pulls glycogen from the fat stores to convert into energy and thus the body burns the fat stores for fuel. Best of luck as you find your way. It truly is up to us to do our own rsearch and homework rather than simply following anymore. Keto isn't always right for everyone and everyone isn't right for Keto. I know it is working wonders for me and my health though as I am no longer on any meds after a few months and i physically feel better and more energetic.

I started keto diet just today and I'm feeling amazing. I am not hungry, did not get the starved feeling at any time during the day, my energy levels felt high and I'm just happy to get though one day so easily. I want to lose 10kg and I am looking at getting all the help and motivation I can get. Glad to find this group. Let's do this!
(Also, I hope I can carry this for a month at the least)

I am wanting to start the Keto tomorrow.
