    I am 5 foot 4 inches and 58 years old Looks like I am on day 8 of my keto diet, Goal was 63 kg.

    I started at 65 kg (from memory) now at 63.2 kg and deep in ketosis, keeping net carbs under 20.
    I am also eating in a 6 to 8 hour window most days, maximum of 10 hours if I have to.

    Doing mainly to improve health but loving losing some fat also.

    I plan to do intermittent fasting for the rest of my life, and carbs will always be low for me as at one point I lost my son and gained so much weight I had diabetes, its gone now, but me and carbs don’t gel well.

    Was having a few hunger pangs at the usual time I used to have breakfast which is about 10 am, but now managing to go till 12 pm before I start eating and drinking.

    I plan to keep going with small tweaks once I reach 63 kg, I might up the food enough to stop me losing any more weight for 4 weeks, then head on down to my final goal of 60 kg which I would like to be at by my the time I turn 59 in October.

    No bullet proof coffees as I now know even black coffee no sweetener is stopping my fast; I always though it probably did, but recent research says it stops the fasting and reduces autophagy, so now staying more strict and only having coffee inside my 8 hour window.

    I'm on my 19th day of Keto and I've been tracking everyday. I have had a hard time tracking and adding fat to my diet so I have been adding two tablespoons of coconut oil in my coffee every morning and taking two fish oil supplements every night. So far I have lost 12 lbs.

    I've been on Keto for 27 days so far and I've lose 21 pounds! I know most of it is water weight - a pound a day is nothing else - but I'm feeling great! And yes, I love planning out my day and pre-balancing everything!

    A favorite dinner I am enjoying this week is beef nachos with pork rinds instead of tortilla chips. Yum!

    Doing a happy dance passed my goal which was 63 kg, down to 62.8 kg today! yah

    Thanks for starting this thread, it helped inspire me.

    My new goal is 60 kg, was at that weight last when I was 25 years old and I am now 58 so that should be interesting.

    I hope to be 25% body fat at that weight, if not will keep working on it.

    Pleased with my success so decided to go the full 24 hour fast, 1 hour 10 minutes to go and am posting this here because I am struggling. So want to state I will go the full 24 hours even if its tough. I can do this.

    I imagine quite a bit of it is fat or you were carrying a massive amount of water. Just wanted to say well done!

    I don't know if any of you saw this on Instagram but next week a bunch of people are doing zero carb Monday through Friday. I'm tempted to try, but I'll likely just do under 10 grams of carbs for 5 days. Anyone else want to join me?

    Hey, everyone. I'd like to join in, a little late.

    I actually started low carb (not keto) three weeks ago, with IF (3 days at 16:8) and HIIT, but didn't lose any weight. Worse (and more importantly), I was tired and lethargic and within a couple of weeks unable to exercise.

    I switched to keto this week, and I have so much more energy. 4 pounds down! I added a multi and B-vitamins and iron (I'm chronically low-iron) as well. I eased into it, considering how bad I felt the last two weeks, but I started IF again today and will add HIIT back next week.

    I'm so encouraged by all the positive check-ins here and looking forward to making this a life change.

    I have done low carb a long time but just starting keto 8 weeks ago; down 8 lbs (30 to go). I watch a lot of YouTube Videos. I like Dr. Ken D. Barry, Butter Bob, just google keto on you tube and tons of good materials.

    Drink lots of water, the first few days always are worst and I made sure I ate pickles and had salt. Those help with headaches. Don't give up!!! Lots of resources here too.

    Hi, I'm behind on joining the challenge, but I've been tracking my keto diet for 33 days straight. Down 11 Lbs. [quote=Also, if you are a coffee lover, share your low-carb, high fat coffee recipes please![/quote]
    I've been doing fatty coffees for a while before starting keto and I usually do:
    collagen peptides and coconut milk
    collagen peptides and grass-fed butter
    MCT oil, cacao powder, and grass-fed butter

    Great! I just signed up for My Fitness Pal and started a Keto diet 5 days ago. It is hard to figure carbs without MFP

    Research, read & post in a community for support. Log, assess your macros on how you feel, it's ok in the beginning to go over or under a smidge if your learning keto and feeling good & safe. As time gos on, start committing to making your macros daily, I typically go over on protein- I do cardio & weight lift so it's ok for me because I have been consistently losing inches & feel really good. (The scale is my nemesis) lol

    Count me in. It's really inspiring to go through all these posts and see so many people doing this. I feel kind of like a lone weirdo among my family. And unfortunately I happened to start this just as I herniated a disc in my back, but in fact it's actually a blessing. Cutting the sugar out of my diet has been majorly anti-inflammatory and has helped me bounce back from the initial first couple of days of agony. I've done this before and it took way longer to get mobile, and I really think that the Keto diet is what has helped. I'm starting to realize how insidiously addictive and harmful refined sugar and carbs in general are. I'm just 5 days in, but I feel clearer, I'm sleeping better and I've been able to deal with this back thing with no narcotics or steroid pack. Yaaay Keto! BTW, is just grass fed heavy cream okay for coffee?

    Yes, heavy whipping cream (HWC) is great. I'm a coffee drinker, it's taken a while for my taste buds to adapt to stevia, but I'm good now. If I need to mix it up I turn to less than 1/2 packet of s&l in my coffee. There are alot of variances, I bounce between HWC, unsweetened almond milk, coconut oil(blended in N.bullet w/sprinkles of ground cinnamon ). Theres but bulletproof coffee recipes all over, research & see what works best for your body. Good to see your trying dietary changes for health & wellness before pharmaceuticals if you can. Best wishes for a speedy back recovery. 👍

    This is my favorite coffee recipe so far-

    Coffee
    Grass-fed butter
    Tbsp or so of heavy whipping cream
    Knox unflavored gelatin - just a sprinkle
    1 stevia packet
    1 tbsp of sugar free hazelnut syrup
    Dash of cinnamon

    Blend and enjoy!
