Hey hey! I'm looking to grow my friendship circle and support network on here with fellow keto followers. (Or not, I'm open either way!)

I've been following this way of eating since November 12 of last year and as of this morning down 29.5lbs! I have about another 100 to go. 👊🏻 I find myself learning every day about keto yet have a decent grasp on it.

I have pcos and hypothyroidism so fellow cysters certainly welcome!! 💟 Look forward to growing my network, say hi!! ✨🤩

**I'm being monitored by my doctor since this was her suggestion because studies show keto can heal a couple of diagnosis I have**

    I have been doing keto since Nov 1st and am down 31lbs. I have hypothyroidism as well. I also have adrenal insufficiency and because of that I will be on steroids daily for the rest of my life. And since adding the steroids I can not lose weight from just calorie counting anymore. But I'm losing with keto AND calorie counting! I have 70 more pounds to go.

    So amazing!!!! ✨

    Hello all, I was wanting to see if any of y'all would be willing to give any keto advice/tips to someone who is barely starting out? Not sure if this is the best place but I wanted to start somewhere and it seems to be working for all here.

    I found the first time doing keto I did it for 2 months but my electrolytes were off. I was losing weight but leg craps and so tired. This time around found an electrolyte shake that is working and making it soo much easier for me. Just keep it simple when getting started that way you don’t get overwhelmed and give up... good luck it’s so worth it and becomes part of life 😊

    I've been keto since end of September. Lost 22 lb so far. (I've been slowed down by a few weeks due to cheating over xmas and new year, but back on track now).
    Majority of my friend list are also keto/low-carb if you want to browse and friend request them. Very supportive, liking status updates and giving welldones or advice here and there.
    If you aren't apart of the keto group yet, I'd advise you join it.

    Started Keto today and I’m looking forward to being healthier! I have PCOS and Hypothyroidism as well and this diet has been the only thing that helped in the past. I lost about 65 pds on a Keto diet a few years ago and felt incredible. Unfortunately, I was unable to keep it going and gained it all back. Getting started has always been the hardest part for me but I really need to get my weight and issues under control. So, add me too!👋🏻

    Hello 😊 feel free to add me if you want!
    My keto/Paleo journey started in June 2018. I watched a Netflix doc and really loved it....then researched everything Keto/Paleo. I started at 246 lbs I currently weigh 183. I feel stronger/younger/better than I did in my 30's (I'm 43) It's been a lot of trial and error but mostly it requires you to get to know your body. For example, Keto allows cheese and Paleo doesn't so much...I've learned for me dairy does not work. I've tried to take the clean eating and zero process food/sugar from Paleo and combine it with the higher healthy fat of keto. The two diets are the same in many ways but I do stay on the lower carb end of Keto and try to balance it sometimes with a fruit or "carb up" meal that Paleo allows me to. My diary is always posted. I do workout 3-4 times a week.
    I get annoyed at the stigma Keto has so usually I just tell people...I gave up process foods, sugar, pasta, bread, soda, fast food, and workout now. They have a better response to that instead of "I do Keto" lol

    Just stared Keto within the last 2 weeks, so far so good. Really working on changing eating habits and paying attention to what my husband and I are eating. Doing this to watch carbs and sugars mainly but learning so much in the process. My pinterest board is full of recipes and I'm experimenting every day.

    I love Pinterest for fun recipes to keep things fun and new!

    If Paleo is trying to eat like ancestral humans, which humans had a ketogenic diet?
