Hi everyone! So glad to be trying something new on my journey. I’ve been at this to lose weight now since September 14. Regular calorie counting of healthy foods etc have not helped me lose much weight even though I’ve been working out vigorously all this time and starving. So I am going to try keto diet. Today was my first day. I fasted til 11, had some almonds and nuts and had lunch omgosh room squid onion cheeseburger no bun for lunch at 3. It’s going on 5 and for the first time since mid September I’m full and not starved. Wish me luck as I certainly do for you

    Hi, I've been doing keto for almost 3 years now. It's worth pointing out that keto is not about losing weight. It's about getting the benefits of 1) being in ketosis (short term) and 2) becoming fat-adapted (long term). You can lose weight by keto or any other diet. With keto, you have additional benefits, see https://old.reddit.com/r/keto/wiki/faq (I'm not affiliated with that sub).
