    Why are you choosing to do keto exactly?

    Hi @ceecee3113,

    if you are looking for people who eat low carb/keto I recommend joining this the low carb group http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group. You'll be able to get lots of information and advice there.

    Why not just watch what you eat then? Can you explain why it has to be keto to reach those goals?

    To lose weight, you eat less; to feel better, you eat better. Does keto make you eat less and better?

    I have followed Keto for 5 months and lost 27lbs. While not great compared to other success stories, I have found a new way of eating I can sustain after I achieve my goals. Once you have a grasp of your macronutrients, and stick with your daily goals your weight will decrease. Things to watch for are carbs, and hidden sugars. Next time you go grocery shopping allow yourself time to read nutrition labels to better understand what your eating. I have found some amazing foods once I stopped and read nutrition labels. You will also need to watch your protein to fat intake. My family usually eats chicken, but for Keto followers chicken is higher in protein than fat and can kick you out of ketostis.

    You can lose weight with keto. You can lose weight without keto (just eat less of what you currently do). The important thing for you to do is choose what you'll stay with. Best of luck!

    I've been doing keto for about 2 months now, I love it, the greatest advantage it affords me is control over the sugar cravings I never had before, in the first couple days the cravings became manageable. It was like back in school when you'd have to meet someone out back of the school for a fight and they wouldn't show up, lol win win . I got off the bread and pasta, big help, I avoid sugar at all cost, use stevia if it must be sweetened, avoid premade prepackaged, substitute cauliflower for potatoes, ive even found a good pizza crust recipe without flour, , I do use some nut flour in it but its mostly mozz cheese and egg whites. trust me its awesome. life without toast is do able . another really important part for me is intermittent fasting. (all that really is is being disciplined on an eating schedule) any food I consume must be within an 8 hour window, it works for me this way , I eat my 3 meals starting at 9 am and finish my last by 5 pm, then nothing but water or unsweetened, unmilked tea or coffee for the next 16 hours, you can sweeten with stevia, its pretty easy since 8 of those hours I'm sleeping anyway. ive been at this for a couple months and I really feel comfortable with the fasting part, I'm working up the courage to extend my fast to 24 hrs starting today, I only have to make it to 5 pm.

    I chose keto because I quit losing weight on a 40-30-30 calorie reduction diet. I lost over 40 lbs, but my metabolism dropped and I could not eat 1200 calories a day and not cheat. I know that the cure for that would be to exercise, but I am currently handicapped and was unable to increase my exercise regiment without lots of pain. My new dietitian suggested Keto. I went through Keto flu last night and refuse to go through that again, so I have become very careful on any accidental sugars. I made my kids refrigerated cinnamon rolls for breakfast. My hands were washed after icing the rolls. Previously, a lick would have removed the tiny drop of icing off my finger. If you would like to add me, I would be happy to travel this journey with others on the same path.

    I am trying to learn to keep keto healthy. My breakfast today was 4 oz frozen spinach sauteed in 1 tsp coconut oil and 2 jumbo eggs scrambled into the spinach.
