Percentage for Fat
Hello all! I'm new to the Keto way... been doing low carb (well, lower than usual) and wanted to try Keto. I noticed it's heavier on the fat side, so I was wondering what percentage for my daily intake would be good? I changed it recently to 60%,

Keto causing breakouts?
Is it normal to have breakouts when starting keto? I am on day 3 and my face is breaking out bad. Not sure if it's from the fats or what : (

Opinions please
I did low carb awhile back and dropped weight without even trying. Fast forward to now. I just turned 42. I started low carb in January. (just started recording on MFP in March) It is coming off VERY slowly. (maybe 10lbs) I will say I am new to actually recording and accounting for everything. I'm sure the slow part is due…

Feeling a bit discouraged
The last couple of days, I haven't felt well. Not ill, but not well, either. My energy levels are low and I'm at a weight stall. Plus that bread is looking pretty darn yummy. I haven't had any, but it looks delicious. Today is day 9 on keto. Oh, and today is my daughter's birthday. Of course there will be cake and ice…

Keto + Wine
Keto friends -- I have been doing keto since the beginning of the year (though I took a 3-week break in February). My nutritionist told me no wine -- she said it wouldn't necessarily kick me out of ketosis, but it would stall me and slow my progress. It has been so hard! Going out to dinner with friends and not having a…

No longer tracking
I pretty much stopped tracking my food intake. I have a good idea of what I can and can't eat, and stay within those guidelines...for the most part. I stopped measuring food quite awhile ago. I simply eat fat, meat, and non-starchy veggies until I'm full and that's it. If I'm feeling hungry, I drink more water and have a…

Too funny
This showed up on my FB news feed not too long ago, and I thought those who're doing Keto might find it as funny as I did.

I'm so confused.
I'm on this awesome LCHF diet. I lost 8 pounds in a week. Now? I'm still stuck at that weight plateau and I'm entering my third week on this eating plan. I've had slips more than once, although I haven't gone out on a full binge. I've been below 50 carbs every day, usually below 25. I'm really beginning to question this…

A donut hole made me do it!
I have been on Keto for a little over 1month and had lost close to 15 lbs. then on Sunday I went crazy and had a donut hole and the then the flood gates opened. I ate 2 cupcakes, 2 donuts and then had a McDonald value meal. OMG I ate about 2500 calories that night just from that. It was like I couldn't stop myself! Well I…

Fat Fast Cookbok Recipe Discussion
I know a few people have bought the cookbook and have been making recipes. I wanted to have a thread to discuss recipes, what folks like and don't like. Here are a few I've done. Boursin Stuffed Mushrooms. Very good! It bugged me that they didn't design the recipe around a package of Boursin. I modified it to use 10 oz…

Not sure if the keto diet is for me.
So the more fat I add to my diet, the more nauseated I feel. I just feel like the fat is just sitting in my stomach making me sick. Going to try and decrease the fat amount and see how I feel but I've never felt so sick in my life. :sad:

Week 2 - Feeling fatigued
Hi All, I'm on week two and I'm still doing good, I had a bit of a sweet craving yesterday and ate a piece of a dark chocolate/coconut bar and still stayed within my carb/fat/protein range. But I've noticed that I'm feeling really tired and a bit moody by the end of the day. I am thinking this is a bit of the 'keto flu' -…

TKD?
I originally found information about the Keto diet on bodybuilding.com and they suggest a "carb-up" day once a week or as a pre/post workout refueling. Currently I exercise pretty heavily as it is my only "me time" and I like the reshaping from lifting weights I have seen in a short time. My question is more or less what…

Calories
Okay... just a thought, and want other peoples opinions. Ive read plenty of blogs about people loosing a huge amount of weight doing keto. but theyre saying they restricted their diet to 1200cal per day. Which then leads me to think, well.... you probably would have lost that amount of weight either way whether you were in…

Have some questions
I started LCHF diet about a month ago and just had a few questions to clear up my confusion. So your macros should be 65%fat..25%protein,and 10%carbs?I try to stay under 30g of carbs. Do we deduct fiber from carbs? Can we have any sugar or absolutely none? Is it okay to have one reward day a week or is that a no-no? Do we…

Newbie Here - Weight vs Body Fat
Hi All, I'm on day 4 and have been doing surprisingly well, I never would have thought I could go low carb. My only 'symptom' is a very slight head ache which is totally manageable. I do have a couple of questions that I would love some input on though. 1. I'm down about 4 pounds (which is great) but my body fat has gone…

Macro Targets [x-post from reddit xxketo]
I wanted to share some of my experience with my macro targets. I started with my macros set at 65-30-5, and then became frustrated with progress (on average, about 1.4 pounds per week, but it felt slow and frustrating). My actual fat % was between 65-69% at this time, and actual calories consumed varied, averaging between…

I slipped
...and it was delicious. I've been craving sweets for 2 hours now. Instead of the cravings getting decreasing over time, they increased. So I caved. And I'm not sure I regret it. that banana was delicious.

Hey low carbers! What's the best way to decrease body fat while doing a keto diet? Cardio or weights or both? I did both this week but just wondering if I should be favoring one or the other. Thanks!
