Anyone Doing a Keto diet for weight loss?

Coconut oil, butter, mayo, eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese, heavy cream and brazil nuts need to become your best friends!

You want to be in ketosis for the ketones and their appetite suppressing effect but ketosis isn't your primary goal - weight loss is - so don't get carried away with adding copious amounts of fat to your diet.

• The only thing you need for ketosis is carb restriction.
• The only thing you shouldn't restrict is protein.
• If you don't know that you should be eating 3g-5g salt on a ketogenic diet you have more reading to do!

Here's a ranty, but helpful I think, blog post by Amy Berger that's worth reading to keep things in perspective. It's also well worth your time joining MFP's Low Carbers Daily group. Best wishes.

Cut back on salt intake, eat at home and try using Mrs dash seasoning, it has no salt in it

Yup, defo need to add salt. Also potassium and Magnesium if you're not getting enough from your food.

nature made - potassium gluconate - Still need to get the majority from diet but really helps to get your numbers up.

I just use a generic Cal-Mag-Zinc supplement for Magnesium. It's 100% RDA Magnesium

My advice is not related to what you eat since you're getting plenty of that. Rather, its a) find a good number of things you like that fit in your diet and that you can live with for a couple months (i.e. better make sure you don't get bored) and b) never let your supplies run low so that you aren't caught somewhere without something to eat from your plan when you want it. If you can do these things, then my advice is just coast for 1 month. You should see weight going off and feel deeply enthused to keep at it. But don't get started until these two things are in place.
