    Really so happy so far! Started in February, hit my goal, and enjoy the foods & energy. The first few weeks were rough, though.

    I recommend going here: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group

    Very supportive people over there!

    I lost 30lbs between keto and LCHF last year, and am maintaining now still eating that way. I always hit my protein goals without trying which I like and I personally eat less without feeling hungry. Sometimes it can be a little difficult to find "vessels" for your food without starches like bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, but it gives you a reason to get creative.

    Some of my personal favorite recipes:

    Pizza with cauliflower crust
    taco bowls
    eggs literally any way
    steak (yum)
    bunless burgers, either wrapped in lettuce or just naked with cheese
    grilled chicken is super versatile
    seafood: scallops, shrimp, salmon, tuna...

    Veggies I like: broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, spinach, peppers,
    Fruits I like: watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, tomato, avocado

    It's something like Atkins phase 1. Very little, or no, sugars, flours, grains or starches. Meat veggies, eggs, and dairy are the basic foods.

    I commend every one of you who can stick to a keto diet!!! :smiley: I have such a big sweet tooth, that's always been my downfall. I've tried LCHF like five times thinking each time I could do it. 10 days was the most I could last. I just need sugar in my life!! So, good job, mates! You guys are awesome!
