@newtrack that's exactly how I felt too. I sent you a PM.

@kristafb - I used to mentally subtract the fiber for net carbs when I was doing low carb until recently when I switched to LCHF, so it's not a true comparison, but my first week on keto after being back on low carb and in ketosis for about a month, I lost 9 lbs. This week will be less and more normal, but I feel less…

Love that quote! So many people do not understand carbs and the impact on our bodies. I have people asking me, well, corn meal isn't a carb right? Carrots and hummus are healthy right? Cereal is ok right? And on and on. Or thinking brown rice is healthier than white rice, so they think they're making a good choice, but…

Thanks everyone for your input. I was afraid to do 2x day but after 5 days of it, I have not felt like I am missing anything. I thought I'd get too hungry to be able to stick with it. I do a good breakfast around 9:30 -10am with lots of good fat, then normal dinnertime for my end meal. Reading about IF is very interesting…

Reading Keto Clarity says not go off of Net Carbs. Stick to counting all carbs when you're doing Keto. I have a very low tolerance to carbs, so I have been keeping mine very low - 5% or less.

Into my 2nd week of Keto after about 2 years low carb (slipped up a bit, so back on track and LOVING LCHF living!) My Diary is open if you want to friend me.

Thanks all! Today I decided to see if I could do just 2 meals and it worked out great. I couldn't believe I wasn't hungry at my usual time at 11:30 or noon. Getting in the fat was all the difference.

How are you feeling today so far?

Water, water, water! I drink 32 oz before even eating breakfast, and fill my 24 oz bottle at work at least 3-4 times during the day.

I've done a chocolate fat bomb with: 1c Coconut oil, 1c unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 c sweetener of choice. Very good! Makes 24-30 in a mini muffin tin lined with mini liners. Must keep refrigerated. Next on my list to try is a vanilla variety that I may add coconut flakes to... 1/2 cup Butter 1/2 Cup Coconut oil…

Congrats! I'm in my first week after switching it up from Low Carb to LCHF. Glad to hear it can be done!

Thanks! I put in my request to join that group!

ettaterrel - nice job on the loss! I agree I have felt much fuller too. I'm set at 70/25/5, but having a hard time getting down to 5% carbs, so it's closer to 8 or 10. Usually by 11:30am I am ready for lunch - yesterday, I had to stop and make myself eat at 12:45 to keep on schedule. But I am staying in my limits, so I am…

Hi Maro - I trained for the NYC Marathon in 2010 and did not lose weight either. Knowing what I know now, I was eating way too many carbs! I am currently aiming for 65-75% fat, where I use to do that much in Protein on IP. I'll check out the group - thanks for the info!
-
I made the switch from IP to keto over the weekend and can already tell it will make me feel much fuller. Add me if you'd like - I'm trying to get more active on the boards for motivation and inspiration.
-
Great inspiration! Today I will: 1 - Workout (DONE) 2 - Log all meals and stay within limits 3 - Plan meals/workouts for the week and shop for healthy foods
