Hey, I'm new here (UK)
Hi all Back in 2013/14 I lost about 20 lbs through counting calories and serious exercise 5 days a week, but after changing jobs so I didn't have easy access to a gym, the weight crept back on, even though I was eating pretty healthily (according to guidelines). I started keto a month ago after having done 16:8 IF since…

Keto Newbie with ?’s
Hello all and happy Monday (or whichever day you happen to be reading this on)... I just started the Keto way of life after running into an old bestie of mine and seeing how well it’s been working for her.

Just started doing Keto+Omad and have a few questions
I've recently decided to give Keto and OMAD (I've done IF before) a shot after I fell off the wagon on my previous diet (210 to 170 to 183) and am having a hard time with my macros. I'm 6'3, 21M, 178lbs with a BF% around roughly 14% according to my RENPHO scale but I think I'm much closer to 20% as I don't trust that…

Fasting support/buddy
Hello fellow Keto-ers, I have been wanting to do an extended fast, 36-48 hours, but the only thing holding me back is fear. I've done 24 hours a couple times and it was okay. Now I want to get the full benefits of autophagy, plus I want to feel like I am getting a good "reset", if that makes sense. Is anyone out there…

Snack and breakfast ideas
So I have a newborn baby, I’m up all hours of the night and then power napping all day with the lil nugget. I’m struggling to get breakfast in because I’m too tired to cook until around 11am. And not to mention he goes from zero to sixty on the scream scale when he decided he needs a bottle, so I’m limited on time to…

New to group, 2 months into Keto
I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes on June 13 and was told I needed to lose weight and reduce blood sugar immediately or start taking insulin shots.

I lost 9 lbs in my first two weeks on keto, and now after my third week, I am up 2 lbs. Was even better this third week at sticking to my macros than in my first two weeks and have been exercising a lot. Is this normal to experience?

Calories
I started following a low carb/high fat meal plan about 3 weeks ago. My fiance and I started using Atkins but then I converted to Keto. I virtually have lost no weight. I rarely reach my calorie allotment each day. I remain within the guidelines regarding fat and protein. Could the fact that I am not reaching 1200 calories…

Brand new to keto
I’m new to keto and I just find all of the information so overwhelming. I am trying to read and research and adapt. But I’m also a brand new mom and I’m tired/foggy from sleep deprivation.

Ideal Protein Weight loss program
Anyone out there on the Ideal Protein weight loss program? It's a medically supervised KETO program. Just curious because I am thinking about enrolling. I am a person who needs supervision and accountability and the expertise sure wouldn't hurt either.
