New to KETO

Have you looked at the websites, ruled.me.com or KetoDiet app.com? I started keto about a month ago and I love it. I discovered ruled.me by accident and since then have been making the recipes on there every week. It was hard letting go of that "fat is bad" mentality, but I'm glad I did. Eat that fat to lose the fat. I be sure to keep your sodium, potassium and magnesium levels up. Another good resource is the LCHF group here. Invaluable information. Good luck and stick with it. I know you will see great results.

Hey! I follow a low cawb/keto diet. Always looking for new friends to help motivate each other. Would love to be friends! Hope you don't mind my requesting you.

Hi everyone my name is laura and started keto a month ago. So far no weight loss even though I'm following my macros and calories needed. I do find that I'm still hungry after eating my 1400 calories. Should I abstain from eating more or eat? Some people say while I keto you eat till you are satisfied. I'm confused

What are your macros? I weigh 196 and I'm 5'7" and i eat 1370 calories per day split up into 5% carbs, 25% protein and 70% fat. I was really hungry the first week or so but now I have to force myself to eat. What do you eat usually?

I started low carb on July 5th. I wasn't tracking but was only eating meat , cheese, eggs and veggies so I thought I was doing good. I went online and ordered special low carb bread and baking mix. I was checking labels and only eating foods with low net carbs like powdered peanut butter. Well after a month I weighed exactly the same and I was not in ketosis. I never got that big drop that so many others experience in the first couple weeks. I stuck with it but started gaining. I started doing more research and found the ruled me website. I calculated my macros and started tracking. I cut out alcohol and the low carb bread products. I realized I was eating too many calories and too much protein and not enough fat. I was still in the fat is bad thinking and buying the lean ground turkey instead of ground beef. So I've been tracking for 3 days now and drinking bulletproof coffee and I'm finally in ketosis and starting to lose a few pounds. Started at 185... gained to 188.... this morning I was 181.4. I am 5'4 and 57 years old. I really like my fitness pal for making recipes. I am cooking all the time now but now I am measuring and weighing everything and tracking tracking tracking! I would love to connect on here for support!!

I think high fat is only bad if you are still eating high carbs as well. Your body uses the carbs for fuel and stores the fat. If you're eating very low carb and you're in ketosis then you're burning the fat and it isn't hurting you. That is my basic understanding.

Been Keto since 7/8/17 and down 22lbs. Feel so good. Let mw know if you have any questions.

I love this new way of living 23lbs 16 days. Hope everyone great results

Hypothyroid here. 3.5 months into keto and 20 lbs down, I've hit my goal weight. Add me!

I've been low carb/keto for awhile now. Feel free to add me. I enjoy sharing low carb recipes and keeping others motivated. My diary is open to the public always.
