Hello!

I’m new to fitnesspal. I was doing so well with my weight loss - had lost 30lbs over two year with 30 to go and put on 20 since October! Ridiculous. My sugar and carb addiction is OOC and I’ve decided to go with the Keto Diet. I’ve done a lot of research. I’m reading more tonight, trying to meal plan, get ideas, easy but healthy recipes, and grocery shop tomorrow. I’m going to ease into things tomorrow starting the kick of sugar/simple carbs and try to eat as close as I can with what we have. After I meal plan/get recipes I’m going grocery shopping tomorrow. Friday is go day. Any advice is welcome! Thanks for reading!
Jenn

    Good luck to you! If you find that you can't stick with keto, just focus on eating in a calorie deficit, which is required for weight loss.

    Hi there! Keto is a fun adventure. Please make sure you meal prep and have Keto friendly snacks available at home and work to prevent any temptations from winning. Prep yourself if the Keto Flu occurs. Just remember it’s temporary and you will overcome it.

    I wish you much success and happiness on this journey!! :)
  • I’m ketogenic diet too

    I’m thinking of doing this too. I have a similar scenario. I lost 50lbs with Weight Watchers and gained 20 back. I think my system is messed up.

    I’m nervous about counting all these grams of carbs, etc. I considering using this app for that. But I think I have to pay now to set my macros and I don’t know if you can do macros by gram or only calories.

    Okay you can do it by grams here. How much does Premium cost? There are some apps for Keto but they look tacky and can be pricey.

    You can set your macros with the free version. I am also trying keto and the toughest thing is finding foods with the correct grams and fiber as you are using. I try to log food with a little more carbs then I am actually eating to try to stay at my net carb goal. Good luck.

    I started Keto 4 days ago, I'm loving it. Good luck to you all.
