Starting Keto today - looking for new friends

I do keto for migraines - it's kind of magical for that, I've been on it just over a year.

Keto has been used successfully for treating NAFLD and many people experience fewer cravings for sweets while on it - so that sounds like a good fit for your current health.

My diary is open, you are welcome to friend me, but that is totally at your own risk...I'm not sure what you are looking for in the way of support, but I can almost promise you that I will ignore most automated messages...if you didn't take the time to write it, I'm not going to take the time to read it, I don't consider automated posting any kind of real anything...I do kind of ramble on about nonsense and <gasp> much of it is not fitness related...so, I'm in if you think you can handle it.

Hey trying to actually do low carb starting soon next Monday be exact

I started keto 2 weeks ago (for the second or third time) and it is getting easier every day to stay away from sweets. You can add me if you like.

Hello! I have decided to get on the keto diet. I am doing research and speaking to a friend who has created a facebook group for information. If anyone has any links or information to could be helpful and relevant for my journey, please share. Thank you!

I am doing modified Keto with doctor assistance because of some medical issues. I can’t always post every day but on the days I can I will always try. I just rejoined after a long sabbatical and would love a few friends to help with motivation.

Hi I'm new here and lost. Started counting calories 3 weeks ago but not losing much. What is Keto pls?

Welcome.. how is it going with KETO?

I have been off and on keto for a little while, i have trouble staying motivated. I would love to have some encouragement. Feel free to add me.

I am 44.. also starting Keto. After losing 150 lbs... I'm at a stand still. Hoping the Keto diet will get rid of my last 60 lbs. Having some issues getting started and meal prep ideas. And of course ....late night eating still plagues me as well. Please feel free to add me so we can share ideas and motivate each other!

If any ketoers would like to add me, I've been doing it since earlier this year and am down 50lbs so far. Happy to provide tips or support as well, if needed.

I flirt with Keto, but have been successful with low-carb, maybe 50-100 per day with light exercise. Just wanted to tell you that there is a forum on this app for programming your macros for Keto in case you didn't know. It really makes it easier. Good luck!

I’m 21 and I have been on Keto for a little over 3 months now. Coming from someone who over portioned food her whole life and loves sweets im 41lbs down so far and keto has been one of the only diets I actually enjoy sticking to and following. It helps a lot because it makes it clear pretty much what you can and can’t eat, which helps prevent me from digging into the wrong food and leading to any binges. Its great for jumpstarting weight loss and leaning out your body. My advice is to do research on what foods you can and cannot have along with some recipes before jumping in to avoid any confusion or frustration, because the first week or two of the diet may result in “keto flu”, causing fatigue and irriatability. Once you get through it your body will be transitioned into ketosis and you’ll start feeling great. If youre like me you’ll get to the point where theres no desire to cheat or binge. A simple google search of “keto foods” will bring up charts that pretty much show you whats ideal for every category in the food pryamid. There’s plenty of keto options or substitutes for a lot of foods that make it seem like its not even a diet or that its too good to be true haha. I went into the keto diet cold turkey and made the strict changes overnight, along with including intermittent fasting (an eating window of 12pm-7pm). I would advise to start with keto and if desired, to begin the intermittent fasting about 2 weeks into the diet to make a healthier transition. Wishing you the best on your journey!

Hi all, I just started Keto today. Goal is to lose 30 pounds, avoid family history of diabetes, and rid myself of migraines. Would love some friends on this journey, so please feel free to add me.

keto flu is caused from your body depleting glycogen and water leading to an electrolyte imbalance due to low carb consumption. a person doing keto needs 3500-5000 mg of sodium(yes you read correctly) and needs to supplement with potassium and magnesium as well. it wont jumpstart weight loss(what you lose in the beginning is water and glycogen stores) and lean out your body that is done in a deficit keto or not,and comes from fat loss. Ive done keto and weight and fat loss was not any faster as opposed to non keto. you still need to eat enough calories to fuel your body too. if keto is causing you to lose a lot of weight quickly its just because your deficit is way too high.

keto is not a special diet for weight loss no matter what people think. its not any better than any other diet for weight loss but it is better for those with type 2, insulin resistance,pcos.seizure disorders and a few other health issues. The fat you burn in keto is dietary fat. body fat is burned in a deficit regarless of what way of eating you choose. if it works for you thats great. but its not sustainable for everyone.
