The struggle is real! My hubby drops so quick and I'm in the snails race grrr. I invested in almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol (granulated & powder) all on amazon and I made cakes in a mug so I always felt like I wasn't restricting- having the supplies on hand has definitely helped me. Now I buy banana and pineapple extracts to get more creative. Just needed to change my taste buds to stevia & erythritol. But that was not too bad. Lots of recipes online.

think I need to change my goal numbers...NO Way I'll be under 50 carbs a day let alone 25 carbs... Will be less stressful and feeling yuck...maybe work my way down...

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.

I lost 8 lbs immediately and NOW nada. Please tell me exactly your diet.

Mine is:

Bkfast
coffee & HWC (cannot do coconut oil or butter)
boiled egg / bacon (if I am hungry)

Lunch
2 c. spinach or other mixed greens
2-4 oz of meat
blue cheese or goats cheese (1 TB)
1 T. of dressing such as ranch or blue cheese

snack if any
almonds - 12
swiss cheese slice or similar
1 92% chocolate square

Dinner
meat 4 oz
1 T butter or olive oil
cooked green vegetable such as broccoli, asparagus, cabbage or brussel sprouts

I had been having a mixed drink with vodka and sprite zero but am cutting that out as of this week.

any suggestions??

My nephew and his wife lost a combined amount of 120 lbs in a few months. Of course they are 20 years younger!
I would love to get 25 more lbs down.

Heaviest - 189 lb (2008 before my divorce)

SW Keto - 168
CW - 159
GW -135

Thanks all!!!

Hey, I've been doing keto since the first of the month and I'm exactly like you. I dropped 7 pounds immediately and tapered to NOTHING in the past couple of days. Meanwhile I have a friend who lost 18 pounds in 3 weeks! Try to really limit your dairy, and if you can do it, I've heard intermittent fasting is great for keto as well.

What are your macro (fat, protein, carb) goals? I'm going steady at 70%, 25% and 5% respectively.

I have been told not to do IF until you are fat-adapted but I tried it 2 days and NADA!

Goal is to have 5% carb / 70% fat / 25% protein, however, yesterday I was atypically down in calories (855) and did 18 g total (not net) on carbs (9%) / fat at 51 (56%) / protein 73 g (35%).

I keep trying to fine tune what I eat but because I have been a serial yo-yo dieter my inclination is to go low on calories and I am frustrated because I have been stuck for 4 weeks with nothing going down so I think that's what I did yesterday.

Trying to hit goals today though. I am also in this to get my blood sugars down.

I've been in ketosis for eight weeks, just doing some summer maintenance. I have three more weeks to go. No big deal, if you need help, I'll help.

Guys allowed on this?

Count me in! Down 48lbs. since March 4.

I’m in! My husband and I just started keto on Monday. We’re keeping net carbs below 50 at this point as we get started. Keto was suggested to me by a NP I am seeing for medically supervised weight loss to hopefully fix my incessant sugar cravings. In addition to always being supportive, my hubby doesn’t really cook, so he’s doing it with me! 😜
