in Introduce Yourself
Hi my name is Megan! I recently started keto and it's been going pretty well. I've struggles with weight loss and eating disorders my whole life but right now I'm more committed than I've ever been. I'd like to have some friends on here that are also trying their hand at keto. Add me cause I haven't figured out how to add anyone yet lol

    Don't be nervous it's so simple. Just make sure you replenish your electrolytes and you'll do great!

    It's so crazy that carbs have such a huge affect on so many things

    My husband and I just started keto yesterday. We also do crossfit 3 to 5 times week. I'm hoping in a couple weeks we will have more energy and lose sugar cravings. Feel free to add me if you'd like :)

    Hey all! Starting keto in a couple days. How do I add people? Also, this might be a stupid question but how do I keep up my electrolytes without carbs?

    I decided to try the mio energy enhancers with electrolytes. They seemed to help a lot and they also kept the water intake higher

    I’ve done keto for a little while and saw some good results. I switched to wanting to bulk more so I need carbs. But will go back again. Think of it as a life style and you’ll be good to go.

    Feel free to add me anyone.

    Potassium and magnesium pills. And put salt on everything.

    First time trying low carb/keto. 18 successful days and counting. Down 12 lbs and about 1.5% body fat. Started at 240 lbs and my goal is 150 lbs. I feel great and I'm looking for fellow keto friends for inspiration/motivation.

    Most need at least 3000 to 5000 mg of sodium a day. There's 2300mg of sodium in a teaspoon of salt for reference.

    To get that much, salt your food liberally and consider drinking salty broth, taking salt tablets, making "keto-aid" with stuff like Mio, or just eating some salt with water.

    You probably won't need potassium and magnesium unless sodium gets low. Low sodium will cause magnesium and potassium to be leached out to replace the missing electrolytes. If you keep sodium up, they generally don't drop.

    If you get a headache, fatigue, nausea, BM issues, moodiness, muscle aches and spasms, then your sodium is much too low.

    These MFP groups have lots of low carbers and keto'ers who are always willing to add friends. I'm not a good friend, myself - I tend not to check it more than a couple of times a year. ;)
