    I am going to try my best not to have any alcohol -- I know that stops the loss. Anyone else giving it up??

    I’ve given it up- which is not easy! I have a huge bottle of wine in my fridge that I hate to waste!

    I’m All tracked for the day and stayed on track all day! Now, time to plan my meals for tomorrow.

    I meal prepped egg cups for this week which I really think has helped me a great deal. Having something easy, on plan and that tastes good to start the day is a good way to get positive momentum going for the rest of the day. I also drink at least 6 oz of water before my cup of coffee (which I usually drink black).

    Good morning, day 3 here of keto diet. What are the success stories you can share? Any hacks and low carb / sugar snacks?

    I've been eating keto for ten weeks and I'm down 27 pounds and six inches in my waist - I count that as a success :smiley:
    One of the things I missed the most when I stopped eating carbs is crackers/chips but I've found homemade cheese crisps to be an excellent substitution (and often tastier). I place 1-1.5 inch slices cheese (any flavor) on parchment paper and bake at 350 for 16-20 minutes, then place on a paper towel to cool.

    I'm in! I just started Keto, I am on day 3 and down 2 1/2 lbs. I do have a question though, how are you altering the myfitnesspal app to accept Keto? when I plug in my foods it shows I am way over my limits.

    Under "goals" you can adjust your calories and percentages for your macros. I have mine set at 1400 calories (my BMR) and carbs at 5%, protien at 20% and fat at 75%. With the free version of MFP I don't know if you can set it up to count net carbs but I list fiber as one of the things I track in my diary so that I can easily calculate my net carbs.

    Anyone know if I can have a sugar free small slurped without it spiking my glucose levels?

    Sure - artificial sweeteners do not spike blood glucose levels (as long as it doesn't have other carbs).

    Watch this--- its crazy informative. I love keto connect on you tube.

    Watch "Ultimate Guide to Low Carb Sweeteners | Blood Testing | Be Sure to Avoid These 3!!" on YouTube

    Thanks for the video! I was just researching this few minutes ago. I'm trying to find something besides water. Been on only water for 11 days and it's basicly making me sick...
    Any ideas?

    Keto has been my saving grace. Today is day 50 and I've lost 18lbs, but more importantly I feel better than I've ever felt in my life. I have energy, clarity, the whole nine. It's been amazing.

    I've been eating keto for ten weeks (down 27 pounds) and like you I feel amazing. I sleep better, wake more refreshed, am less depressed, etc. People are noticing not only my weight loss but my peppy attitude as well.

    I dove in and cut my carbs to less than 20 right from day one. I hit a day or two of "keto flu" but the weight loss (and inches loss) kicked in right away because I pushed my body into ketosis. I felt so much better and quit craving the carbs within the first week.

    How is it going with eating only twice per day, and how long is your eating window? Like what 2 meals do you have?

    I was thinking about doing 3 meals per day as I prefer not to eat more than 500 calories in one sitting and intend to stay on 1,500 calories per day, so just wondering how you are doing it in case you have some tips I can use.

    I like how you list your rules down, I do that or I wont follow them, for me it never works eating based upon how I feel.
