Keto?

I just started a couple days ago!! The app is so helpful! Especially the percentages it gives you of your daily intake. Tht way you can keep it in recommended ranges! I’m A Keto newb so I don’t know a whole lot but if I had to track all this on my own I wouldn’t have lasted this long! Lol

Started Oct 2014. Tracking mainly weight each morning. Long term health issues started to resolve within first 30 days (huge drop in pain levels) and today health continues to improve.

Gained most of my Keto/LCHF Way Of Eating skills right here at:

Nothing magical because it is just human biology but it sure can seem like magic until one understands why it works so well for so many people on MFP. Getting off of the high carb/high fat WOE gave me a fit the first several weeks when I cut carbs to just under 50 grams daily. Then the carb cravings just quickly faded and has not returned but I know my addiction will return if I start high carbing again. Because my fuel gauge went back to working now I just eat until I get full without any impulse to binge like when I was eating high carbs. I just replaced most of my carbs with fats and protein stayed about the same as on the SAD WOE.

I did it for pain management on a hunch cutting out added sugar and all forms of all grains would save me from dangerous pain meds. It worked out in my case going on 4 years now. At 67 I never see myself going back to the Standard American Diet.

It may not be for others but it has no negative side effects that I have found over these years so give it a shot for 90 days then decide to try it for another 90 days or not if you wish.
