    Hello all...I'd like to join, however I am not quite keto, but I've been low carb since September and have lost over 60 pounds so far. I'd like to join for support in losing my last 25 pounds, and possibly share ideas with each other too.

    Welcome!!!!

    An observation... keto isn't a diet. A diet suggests a short-term activity for immediate gain. Keto is about making life changes, building new habits, educating yourself about what you're eating and understanding what triggers over indulgence.

    Thanks for this comment. I agree with the perspective and am a constant work in progress on this- I have struggled with my weight since I was a child so definitely need a lifestyle change.

    Good luck on your 30 days. :)

    If anyone is looking for more information on keto, try the low carber daily and keto MFP groups. There's a lot of good info in those groups.

    Just wondering if anyone has the same outlook concerning Keto as I do. Concerning keto, I think of it as a "Winter" diet. I imagine descendants were pushed to intermittent fasting based on the reduction in availability of "easy" food in the winter so meals would be spaced out, mostly protein and fat. There would be very little carbs available. Come spring/summer, our diets would naturally shift to slightly more carb dominant with greater frequency. Thus, I am playing with the theory that keto should be cycled. Just some thoughts.

    I can't just go low carb suddenly because I get really tired and that doesn't mix well with my job. I've decided to drop carbs by 10g/day above 100g and 5g/day below 100g.

    I'd like to join. My daughter introduced me to this and I'm trying to keep it up. Need to learn some good recipes. Plus I'm going into surgery soon and the surgeon also recommended this.

    I've been looking for more Keto friends! I used to do challenges on MFP when just counting calories and exercising and I loved the motivation of them. I must say, it would be a lot easier in a group format, rather than just a single thread. Unless I'm missing a group link somewhere?

    I've been doing Keto for about 3 weeks now and while I've only lost 9 pounds, I'm already down a pant size so I'm happy with the progress as it is. My first goal is to lose 15 pounds by August 30! We'll see. LOL - my biggest struggle is getting my calories in for the day. I try to eat but if I'm not hungry, I just don't feel motivated to eat. So that's throwing me off. Luckily after making one batch of Keto vanilla ice cream and only being able to eat a couple bites, my sweets cravings have gone away. I never really liked sweets before, but my body apparently really wanted them when I cut out carbs! LOL

    I've thought about this as well, but I don't do intermittent fasting with my meal planning. Sometimes it happens unintentionally, but I've wondered why our bodies react the way they do and thought back to how people used to eat and what was available.

    You have not missed a link. I am pretty new to this so I am not sure what is different in a group versus this thread or how to set something like that up. Do you mean having a link to a private FB group or something? I’m open to ideas to offer more to our group here!

    You don't really need a new group - both of the groups mentioned in this post are excellent places to hang out and have a TON of information about the low-carb/keto lifestyles.

    BTW - congrats to all who have made the commitment and progress with this lifestyle!
