Keto success stories

I just started keto about 2 weeks ago. I'd love to see everyone's before and after photos on keto.

    that's great! I am planning keto, but have been doing well with keeping up the protein, so not sure if high protein still ok.

    High protein is fine. (Also don't forget calories. Keto isn't a magic ignore calories in calories out remedy.) Ketogains has a couple of good articles on protein consumption while on keto.

    https://ketogains.com/2016/05/protein-over-consumption-ketosis/

    https://ketogains.com/2016/04/gluconeogenesis-wont-kick-you-out-ketosis/

    That second article has links to a ton of other articles regarding keto and protein.

    They also have a nice concise reminder on how eating keto really shouldn't be butter bombs.

    Good luck if you decide to try out keto!

    I'd be curious to see long term effect on total cholesterol, 2-3 years AFTER the initial massive weight loss.

    Here's one study (not 2-3 years), but from my research those who have lost weight and stayed keto, have had regular numbers. I'm sure it depends on the individual and eating habits.

    Started my weight loss journey at 300 lbs on Nov 5th 2017 and lost 26 lbs till date, on Dec 17th, started with Keto and Intermittent fasting lost 6 lbs in one week. Also having lot of dark greens and eliminating sugar, my terrible knee pain which prevented me for walking up or down stairs or even fast walking for the past 3 months is gone. Just eating dark greens and limiting net-carbs to below 50 gms, Now can run also, Excited about it.

    Down around 50 lbs. Kettlebells and lots of core work too. Keto until goal weight reached, now maintain with carbs at 15% to stop losing. :)

    That first pic is from 3 years ago at 190 lbs. I dropped to 150 in around 5 months. Stopped Keto and slowly gained 20lbs back. June first this year started again and dropped to 140 in around 5 months. Been maintaining with the goal of sticking with a low carb lifestyle and not gaining it back this time. :)
