    I'm new to keto. Started before Christmas and lost 8 pounds. Fell off the keto wagon and trying to get back on. I'll add you. Anyone else can feel free to add me too!

    I’m just starting on Keto aswell, just 3 days in. I started on ww and decided to do them both. A lady on their suggested this app to help calculate my macros. I have 4 children from 11-3 months old and need to drop about 40 pounds! We can do this!

    Hi Everyone, I am new to Keto as well. In week one. My thoughts on the comments here is if you feel bloated drink a glass of hot salt water in the morning to help with moving things. Also my research says supplementing electrolytes and magnesium is critical on Keto. Omega 3 supplementation is recommended as well. Omega 6's are in everything else. Once a week have a cheat meal. This will help recharge your leptin. This in turn gives your thyroid the building blocks it needs to keep your metabolism up. Otherwise your metabolism may slow to the point of your calorie deficit making you plateau. A good calorie counter should give you a recommended caloric intake. Set a deficit of 20% or so and use MFP to track your macros to achieve that caloric intake. Hope this helps.

    Throw you old white salt away and use Himalayan pink salt. It has like 90 minerals and compounds in it. This helps with electrolytes.

    Hi all! Why when I input my meals so I end up with a 100+ carbs when I am strictly following Keto- eggs and bacon, lettuce with chicken broccoli avocado, and alfredo brocoli chicken bake for dinner. I honestly don't see how I can cut anything else. 20 carbs or less, right!?
