Hello is anyone else starting Keto?

Hi there! I've been doing keto for about a month. Good luck on your first few weeks, make sure you take a lot of electrolytes and keep hydrated to avoid the keto flu!

I've been considering it, right now I'm starting slow...no bread, pasta or potatoes

I started a few days ago. I had a headache for the first couple, and feel pretty good today. I am in dire need to lose weight, as I am at a bit over 300lb. I, not by wanting to, was around my carb limit the first couple of days but only at about 900 calories, with walking about 4 miles. Today I walked a similar amount, but tried to est lower carb but higher fat, and it upped my calories to 1,500 but gave me a significant boost and took my headache away! @Dark Twain, I did that starting about a week and a half ago, and I think it helped the transition. Is anyone havjng trouble getting the correct water intake? I am struggling to drink like 160oz a day.

Hello everyone! My name is Trish and I started Keto about 3 weeks ago and down 20lbs. It’s actually quite easy and I was lucky to never experience the “Keto flu.” However, I have hit a wall. My weight hasn’t fluctuated at all in four days!!! Any suggestions on how to get over this hurdle? Thanks! And good work to everyone going through this life change.

I've been doing keto since Aug 2018 and have lost 80.5# so far.

Hi Trish! Don't worry to much about hitting a wall. It's happened to me several times throughout the weeks I've been on Keto. I've been working with a coach and she's been super helping at explaining it could be a number of things. Best thing I've found is to keep a daily journal of stress factors, activity levels, monthly cycles, and anything else that could potentially cause a weight fluctuation or impede the weigh-loss process.

Definitely jealous of you for not experiencing the Keto flu! The first 2-3 days for me were a drag. lol

Hello there. I have been on a lower carb plan since June 19th.. But as of Monday of this week, I have been doing a semi lazy keto. My carbs have been under 20 grams every day all week. I'm doing really well and have gotten great results since the very beginning of this new chapter, but this week as well. WOW.

I have done a lot of research. It's not to be gone into lightly and it's definitely not to be abruptly stopped and started, etc.. I watch someone on YouTube who has done keto since Jan 1st of this year and has had AMAZING results. She previously, 10 years ago, lost over 100 lbs, but gained about 20 lbs back after the holidays and decided to try keto. Now she's fully on and even coaches others.

I'll add the link to her channel. https://youtube.com/results?search_query=nicole+burgess

Good luck everyone. Does anyone know when MyFitnessPal intends to have a Keto version for us wanting to use net carbs? I just do it in my head now but...

Thanks for creating this post!

I’ve started Keto a week now. Switching my macros a bit so I can get in Ketosis. Keto works, I’ve done it before and I have watched several others have much success. My failure was not recognizing it as a life change, I won’t make that mistake this time. Look forward to hearing about your successes.

Can you share how you adjusted your macros. New to all this so trying to figure everything out. Thanks for all the tips and info you posted
