    Wow. I hurt my back a few years ago and have really struggled with weight gain. Done the research and decided to try a Keto diet. Today is my first official day. If I could loose 30 - 50 pounds, I would buy back most of my pre-injury ability.

    Hi there! I’m also on keto. I started 10 days ago and I’m feeling great! I moved to another country 1 year ago and stopped working. I gained a lot of weight and my old diets weren’t working. I hope this one does. Good job everyone !

    Once you get going it isn't so hard to cut out the pasta and potatoes - Creamy sauces on proteins work great. Find recipes online. I make cream cheese/almond flour pancakes - smother them in Cream Cheese and butter - YUM and you don't even realize it's a keto recipe. Had a bday at work and made keto vanilla cupcakes - no one knew the difference and I was able to partake with the rest of the group. My day is - keto pancakes with cream cheese and coffee with cream (real cream) for breakfast. Lunch - salad with avocado and olives and homemade ranch dressing - sometimes I add tuna. Dinner - whatever protein my hubby makes usually with cream sauce and a lot of veggies. I'm not hungry - ever anymore. Heck I ate a salad yesterday and never ate dinner - was too busy - and made it all the way til lunch today. The trick really is getting your fat content HIGH enough to stay full.

    I am Stacie and i have been doing Keto for 4 months. Lost 20 lbs then plateaued. Figured out that counting macros and adding more exercise were my next move to kick back into ketosis.

    I want to start keto. But I'm going to need a lot of support to get over the first few weeks. Starches like pasta and potatoes are my favorite foods but I'm trying to be healthier and lose some weight. Glad I found a group with some other new keto starters. :smile:

    I was the same way and I didn't miss it at all!

    I would like to start keto as well.. I was IF'ing for about 5 months last year and lost weight easily.. but I got jaw pain from clenching rather than suppressing emotions with food :).. so I stopped.. I was IF'ing for 20/4 .. but think I was probably drinking too much black coffee.. now drinking less coffee and loads more water. have you guys bought keto books to get you started or just googled stuff?

    I started keto like two weeks ago. And I love it. There is so much to learn about this diet. So much science to back it up. I to want to start fasting, once a day will be hard at first but like keto I adapted fast.

    Hello and welcome. I suggest you check out the following main low carber daily forum group. It's one of the largest and most active groups in MFP and where many Ketophiles tend to hang out:
