    Hi Keto friends! Yesterday was my first day for my husband and I doing Keto. I also began today with a fresh plan for exercising. I found my insanity dvds from 2011, which I didn’t finish back in 2011.
    Today was the fit test for insanity which kicked my butt.
    As far as Keto eating, I found some recipes for this week on Pinterest and a list of Keto foods which we stocked up at the grocery store.
    Anyone know of other places for Keto info or recipies.
    Also this app has me at 1400 calories to get to my goal weight of 125 eventually...at 193. I’m 5,4 inches tall,38.
    How many calories is everyone eating on Keto to loose weight any success stories or advice appreciated:)
    Happy New Year

    Hello! I'm just starting on a Keto eating plan. I'm excited to see the same results as some of my family members. It's nice to know more sites to find information on Keto.

    I've been checking out Gauge Girl Training. I've watched a few of her YouTube videos. She gives a lot of information on the Keto Diet.

    I started keto last friday and am in full keto flu mode at the moment. I wasn't able to make it through my basic 30 minute push/pull routine today and am only able to do half the amount of pushups as last week. I'm hoping this passes soon.

    On the plus side, I've dropped about 7 lb of holiday water weight. Also, the food is delicious! I stocked my fridge with kale, cauliflower, cheese, heavy whipping cream, sour cream, eggs, etc... Every combo of those ingredients with protein and seasoning of choice just tastes amazing! It's easy to improvise with these ingredients and look forward to every meal. As a dude, I normally have a harder time hitting the calorie requirements for maintenance (2700). I don't think I'll have that issue on keto.

    Hi everyone! I started Keto 70 days ago and have lost 20 lbs. I am loving it so much. I never though this diet would be for me, for a longer term thing, but after being on it and realizing how many things I can still eat, and that recipes are your friend, I am in this for a long while. 2018 will be the year I meet my goal weight for sure. (still about 30 lbs to go)Happy New Year everyone! To our health and happiness!!

    Excited for you! As far as the Keto Flu goes...just PLEASE make sure to be eating enough Potassium. When I first started Keto I felt fine, except one day I just felt super tired and weak, and I could feel something wrong with my heart. After some googling I realized I was probably low in Potassium and luckily had a no calorie electrolytic mix that was high in Potassium. It saved me, literally. Scary when you can actually feel your heart not beating right. Since that day I am very careful to take in as much potassium as possible and I have not had a problem since. Cheers!

    I had my experiences with Keto in the past, dropped it, and I'm now coming back to this lifestyle (since dec 26th). Already lost 5 pounds, I know it was only water weight, but feeling great, no hunger, no insomnia, no cravings.
    My goal is to drop my bodyfat from 38% to 25% (at my scale, really dont bother if it is perfectly accurate), that means 25 pound of fat.

    HELLO! I started KETO right before Christmas, but am 100% on it as of yesterday (Jan 1). So far I've been feeling ok, but I' not sure if that's because I already take potassium on the daily. 220CW, 170 GW

    Hey! I started Keto one week ago today and am down 6 pounds!!!! Feels great...first three days were the most difficult for me. No cravings, no hunger at this point. I need to focus now on getting back to the gym, and figuring out how to work it into my daily routine.

    I have been on Keto for a week. I was fine for three days then felt nauseated and whoozy. It was a really weird brain feeling almost like a blackout. Most of my Keto flu symptoms were alleviated by increasing electrolytes, water and salt. I bought Keto electrolytes on Amazon. I am having amazing bursts of energy a couple times a day. I feel very awake in the morning. I have had years of insomnia and am sleeping like a rock for the first time in my life. I am very irritable and have warned my family that my body and brain are adjusting. Premier Protein drinks have helped keep my protein up, and my fat with MCT oil. I did get through my weightlifting routine, but was I was very weak. I have only lost 1 pound, but I visibly see a difference with my arm definition and stomach.
