I am new to keto, and I am kind of lazy about it, but I'd love to have a place to get some new recipes and ideas!
Feel free to add me!

I am! This is my second stint but I am really committed this time. There are some great recipes on reddit in the subreddit ketorecipes, ketomealseatingnow, and even just the keto subreddit. Instagram is also a great community and people are all doing it in a way that fits them! Some people adhere to saying no to some things that have a bit of added sugar and some people don't. So far this week I have made: meatloaf, ham & cream cheese roll-ups with pickles, carbquik biscuits and sausage gravy, and prosciutto wrapped asparagus. Feel free to add me! I believe I have my journal open to friends.
I try to keep under 10g of carbs because I do better that way. I wish MFP did net carbs but it is easy enough to figure out on your own. If things have added erythritol or stevia I search for something like [ item with erythritol subtracted ] so I know I have the right carb count.
Best of luck to you on your journey. Keep calm and keto on!3 -
I've been doing Keto for a year now. It can work great if you do it right. The key is to not get bored with it. There are Keto-friendly recipes all over Pinterest!1

I just started Monday and so far i have doing well ... major headaches set in yesterday but I am powering through it. I've done low carb before but never keto ( high fat). Has anyone tried the Bulletproof coffee yet?0

I just started keto last week and so far I'm loving it! I'm down 8 pounds (I'm sure most is water weight) and the keto flu only last for a couple days.2

I just tried BPC today and it was nice and creamy! I added stevia to mine since I'm not a huge coffee person to begin with.1 -

I love my BPC! I do 16 oz of coffee, 1 tsp coconut oil, 1 TBSP kerrygold butter, some cinnamon and 2 packets of truvia sweetner. Sometimes I'll add a TBSP or 2 of Heavy Cream to make it creamier. My nutribullet comes in handy to blend it all together. It's so good!2 -
I have found all my recipes so far on Pinterest. There's so much out there. I have my hubby and 2 kids that I cook for and they've all liked the recipes that I've made so far.0

I started lectin-free keto on Nov. 30 under the care of a functional medicine MD and nutritionist, however really started in earnest after the holidays. I find the high fat content keeps me satiated. My blood sugar has decreased from 140 to 105 and I've lost 12 lbs. The hardest part for me is giving up sugar and all grains. I love MFP but wish it was more intuitive in tracking fats, proteins and carbs, rather than being mostly about calories. I am paying more attention to the macros than calories and MFP (even Premium) doesn't seem to present it that way, unless I just haven't figured it out yet. So any computer whiz kids in this message board who can help me out with this?1

Im on day 4 of Keto!1

Did keto. It was a lot of work to try to get about 3000 calories of proper amounts of fat, carbs, and protein every day while keeping it interesting. Was taking potassium sups and magnesium too. It can do good. I like cheese, rice, and potatos. So its hard to keep them carbs down. Everything has carbs!!!1

I've done keto on and off for the last few years. I have very good results, friends ultimately mess up the diet though. everyone always wants to go out to eat or drinking. Most I've lost at one go was 30lb I am getting heavy again and this time I plan to make it stick.1

I have had great success with keto, and found that I'm rarely hungry on the diet. I've even gotten into baking keto cookies and whatnot. Committed to doing it right this year and training long distance cycling keto.1

I know its a lot. That's a lot of eating and trying to do it right. It was expensive and time consuming for me. That being said, ill most likely do it again.1 -
Started Keto on the 1st. I'm down 7lbs as of today. I feel like I've been getting conflicting information from all the Keto Calculators out there to decide the best macros for me. How did you all determine your macros?

Googled as much as I can to see what is optimal, looked at multiple calculators to try to find a mean0 -
I am feeling the effects of the Keto Flu right now and it’s not fun. Hopefully I will get over this soon.0

Mine is probably considered more low carb than keto, but I’ve always loved the lifestyle. I dropped over 70 lbs a few years ago when I started it. Had a rough couple of years, and ready to get back on it. Sadly, I have over 100 lbs to lose
but I’m committed to doing it, I can’t feel like crap anymore. Started last Saturday, and down almost 10 lbs already. Loving it so far! I find most of my recipes on Pinterest 2 -

Jushere2018 : I understand completely ... I dropped 80 lbs a few years back. I did low fat and low carbs . Unfortunately I have gained 100 back. My battle with Breast Cancer over the last three years hasn't helped in that department either. I tried to do my previous diet and had zero luck I would loose 2 or 3 lbs the first couple of days and then nothing. for some reason the high fat content is doing the trick for me now. I just hope I can keep going on this trend... I kicked cancers *kitten*, I will be damn if I cant kick this fats *kitten* too! LOL!!!0 -
Oh my goodness! I’m sorry you had to go through that:( I lost my mom in March of 2017 to cancer. I was just looking back at my diary history, and seen exactly when she passed because I quit logging and exercisingcrawfordjenn0820 wrote: »Jushere018 wrote: »Mine is probably considered more low carb than keto, but I’ve always loved the lifestyle.
