Starting week four of Keto and just found this group. I kind of doubted if this was a healthy way of eating for a while but all the reading I did won me over. I have over 100 lbs to lose but I am on my way. Sometimes I worry about all the lose skin I may have but then I remember that lose skin isn’t going to stop me from doing the things I want to do. I am also working out and made a bucket list of simple things I want to do once I’m not too heavy to do them anymore.7

I've been graduating into Keto over the past few weeks...the first week or so was getting used to no grains, dairy or sugar, then I tried doing full-on Keto 20g carbs, but find it too restrictive so I changed my macros to 48g carbs, but am now trying to stay between 25-30. I am also staying within my calorie goal for the most part. I'm trying to do what is sustainable for me. I watched a couple of Dr. Berg's videos & found it very helpful to get the basics. I find I am not hungry or craving ANYTHING and he said that would indicate ketosis. He also suggested IF and so far that is going good...I don't eat until Noon & then again between 6-7 pm...he suggested eating a 2nd meal at 4 pm but I'm not even hungry at that point so I wait till I am.
Anyway, I am just keeping it simple & basic, not doing many recipes yet. I'm just trying to get regulated on this before I get too creative LOL. My weight loss hasn't been significant but I'm going to wait for another month to see how my body adapts...it's likely in shock!! But what I like the absolute most so far is no hunger & no cravings. Eating carbs I was hungry & craving constantly. I actually like only eating 2 times a day...it's kind of freeing.
Hi lorraine, You can eat dairy foods on keto diet unless you choose not to.x1 -
@SameMeLessFat Check out Dr. Berry's video on excess skin and the benefits of IF to decrease that situation.
@Malimalai Yes, you can have limited dairy, heavy cream, Greek yogurt but yogurt is still a limited food. Milk is not recommended due to the sugar content. And yes, you can have cheese. I initially cut dairy out, but do have some dairy now.

Day 189 of keto. Did my first 36 hour fast on Friday. Had not been losing weight in the last few months, maybe a lb or 2 a month, this month it was a little over 3. I think I will do a fast on a weekly basis, if only for one day. My BMI is finally out of the obese lane and into the overweight one...literally by like .1pts...I will take it!
Working out more, lifting weights, measured today and arms are actually bigger, but I feel the muscle so I will let it get rid of some of the fat...
Working towards losing another 9lbs to meet my next goal...then another 20!

Yes! Let’s nudge each other!2 -
What's up Keto friends? Just started a Keto diet yesterday! I'm a pretty big guy - 6'1, 213lbs. Starting this diet after listening to Dr. Perlmutter (Theo Von) & Dr. Rhonda Patrick (Rogan) podcasts. Excited to join this community and dedicated to logging an entry every day. I'll be getting baseline blood work done to better understand my bio-markers next Tuesday. Reach out and stay strong!3

Hi pals. Remember me?
Just dipping my toe back in keto waters after a fairly prolonged, not so great patch of life.
Not even sure I'm nudge ready yet; but, I'm missing my former lifestyle in a major way. Especially, I miss having energy and that my body had so many less aches and pains.
Hoping to retrieve all my old keto habits and routines, as well as check in with my keto fam... starting today.
So nice to see familiar names here.
Back in the saddle!

I've been keto for about 1 month (started again). I had been up to 168, then dropped 7 almost in the first week. Now I literally cannot get down past 161.8...exact amount every single time. I gain 2 or 3, then start losing again, then stuck at 161.8 exactly. My goal is somewhere around 135 or thereabouts so I have 25 to lose. I am 5'4" and small boned. I have tried the Intermittent Fasting this week, drinking loads of water as well. I just had to rant. Hope everyone has a good Friday!7

Hi everyone! Still trying to eat mainly a Keto diet. I have trouble with eating cake and donuts! My main meals are Keto I just have to stay away from sugar! My name is Mary and I’m a sugar addict...2

NSV: Last year on keto, I went from a size 12/14 down to a loose 8. I had gotten rid of most of my size 10, 12, & 14 clothes I had accumulated over the years during this time. Then over 6 months, the weight crept back and I ended up back in the single pair of size 12 jeans I kept.
Beginning in April I restarted strict keto, and I have had very modest weight loss (according to the scale). However, my 12s were falling down all day. I had gotten rid of my 10s, so I all I had were my size 8s. I grabbed a pair and prayed to God I could at least squeeze in so that I would know ‘maybe’ they’d fit in a couple weeks.
To my shock they fit! They fit snugly but not too tight at all! In April, the scale said I only lost 4.5 lbs, but my clothes tell a very different story.7 -
Greetings fellow keto people. Just checking in. Finally got a new phone yesterday so am counting calories/macro again. Went the first 3 weeks of keto by feel, which was a good experiment. On my old phone whenever I logged onto the MFP app, my phone spazzed out and powered down... I was active here a year ago with success, looking to reclaim the weight loss and the general healthy feeling and energy this type of eating provides. Just wanted to introduce myself and say I am glad to be here.2

Good morning! I'm in my third week of Keto and it's going pretty good so far. I'm down 12lbs but I have a long road ahead of me. I started to incorporate IF last week and some days it's smooth sailing and then other days like today I can only make it until about 10:30 or 11 before I feel like i have to eat something. I am consistently closing my eating window by 8 pm though.
Anyway I will be checking in here regularly. Please feel free to add me as a friend!5 -
Good Morning, I tried keto last year and dropped 35 lbs in 3 months but, then Thanksgiving came and I fell off and haven't been able to get back on. Today is my first day back and would love some fellow Keto friends especially if you keep a diary. I'm always looking for meal ideas and love to see how others do it. Thanks and good luck to everyone 3

Looks like I will have to start logging again
The good news is that my most recent snack-that-shouldn’t-be no longer tastes good. I am_hoping_ that means I got whatever I was needing from it (even though I have no idea which nutrient I was missing out on). I have been trying to not track and see if I can keep it up and, thankfully, looks to be mostly good. I am sure I didn’t gain the 100+ lbs I did last time I stopped tracking but the measurements I can do are growing.0 -

I figure I can never stop tracking, since I'm a fatty that's no good at not-eating unless I'm in that sweet sweet ketosis state of being. But lucky for you, MFP and the diary is still around and waiting!

@CentaurusSoter you & me both (which is part of how i know i need to start tracking again……and the only reason i did not gain back 100+ lbs while i have not been tracking the last month as an experiment). i had hoped that i was fat-adapted/keto-ready enough. and it looks like i was wrong. maybe i will try again in another 9 months1

Good morning! I've had great success with Keto in the past and lost over 75lbs. Got lazy, the weight crept back on. Restarted Keto and dropped the pounds. Got lazy again and gained 46lbs Started back on Keto on 4/7/19 and have dropped 16lbs so far. I don't know why I ever stop Keto. It is really pretty easy for me, especially when I incorporate IF and only need to think about what to eat once or twice a day. My H just started Keto with me yesterday so hopefully we can encourage each other to keep going and not get lazy. I still have about 100lbs to lose and I think he'd like to lose around 75lbs. I put him on a Keto diet last year for a weight loss competition he was in and between diet and exercise, he lost 42lbs in a month, so not fair LOL I'm sure he won't have quite that much success this time since he is not exercising, but hoping we can shave off 20lbs for him this month to keep him motivated. 2

Apparently I can't edit my post here, but I wanted to add that I'm feeling a little frustrated and confused right now. Like, I know that weight loss is not linear. And I know that the Bio-impedence scales aren't the most accurate. What I don't understand is how I've been in a deficit every day without fail, and in the last 8 days I've only lost .6lbs but according to my scale my bf% has gone down 3%. Ugh!2

Hi!🌺 I just came back from nearly a month holidays,Last mount, I ate mainly keto/low carb foods with lot of vegetables and fruits.I prepared and packed foods to eat everywhere even airports and planes.I had 3 liqueur coffees and 2 airline potion cakes as treats.I gained 1.8 kg/3.9 lbs .After 1 day, I already lost 0.6 kg/ 1.1 lb of water weight.I knew I would gain weight as I didn't have time to track my macros and I ate more of cause. I'm tracking my macros and counting my calories again.I hope to go from 57.9 kg/127.3 lbs to
50 kg/ 110 lbs one of these days. have a good day,keto friends xxx 💗🥑0 -
Hi all! I just started keto about 1 week ago. I haven’t weighed myself yet but I plan to tomorrow. So far I’m staying at about 25-35 carbs/ day. For now that is as low as I can stand it. I can try to drop lower over time (if it seems necessary). I need to lose about 25 lbs. I’m not so concerned about speed, im concerned about making this whole journey less painful. I.e. not so hangry all the time. Lol. So far...it’s been pretty easy and I feel really good....so....WIN!2
-
Update: I’m down 4 in the first week. I am pretty motivated by that. At 51 years old, I was starting to think that being 25 pounds overweight was just the way it is. Counting calories just wasn’t working. All my old diet tricks weren’t working anymore. I swear I have been watching my weight my whole adult life. So far, I’m loving this Keto.3
