I did my 16:8 fast yesterday. Actually I think it turns into more of 20:4 as I had a bit of stomach upset. I only ate one meal also. So way under in calories and woke up hungry this morning. But after eating breakfast at about 9/10 I wasn't hungry again until 7pm. So that was a positive.

Wow. Very visible progress. Keep it up.

I've been wanting to try this also. So far I haven't purchased any coconut oil. Do you drink it hot or cold? No sweetener?

Your current weight (or clothing size, or whatever you use if you don't weigh): 201 (size 18 US) Your Fast/Feed Schedule: I plan on doing 16:8 schedule at least once a week. From 8pm to 1pm Do you take supplements?: Just a regular multivitamin. Do you plan to exercise? If so, how do you expect that to impact your fasting?:…

I use Splenda but I only have 1-2 packets a day. But I've been reading more about the erythritol and I'm going to look for that. I also bought some stevia in the raw for a recipe. I never even looked at the ingredients. So thanks for bringing that to my attention. I am not. A fan of the taste of stevia since I've used…

I started at the under 100 mark. Did that about a month or so. So I could get used to what to eat and what not. Then I cut to 50. Then 40, 30 and now I try to stay at about 20 net carbs. I thought it would be impossible. I'm surprised how well I've been making the adjustments. Keep up the good work.

I've been thinking of trying chia seeds. Been seeing a lot of mention of them for fiber and such. I'll have to try to find them.

Not feeling so self conscience about my weight. Feeling normal.

Taco salad. Yum.

Only at the end of week 3. Lost 6 lbs the first 2 weeks. This week haven't lost but I am trying to tweak my diet.

I am also having issues right now with water retention. I can't drink tea or coffee after 4 or I'm up all night from the caffeine.

Yeah I've never had bp problems but since I've gained weight I retain water more. I haven't in the couple weeks I've been doing Keto though and I've increased my salt intake.

Thank you.

I sent you a request. I have issues with how the forums on MFP are set up too. It's not easy on a phone.

I just started myself about a month or so ago. Been slowing decreasing my carb intake for a couple months prior. Feel free to add me.

Just a month or less into the Keto plan. If you are active in tracking feel free to add me

Feel free to add me. I just recently started a low carb high fat diet. This is the longest I have stuck to a diet in a year and it is working. Love to get tips and motivation.

Btw. Here is what my goals are set at.

I recently started following the Keto diet which is high fat low carb. I would recommend watching the documentary 'Fat Head' as it describes the since behind the diet. So far I've had success. I've had to tweak some things but am still learning. Good luck.

I just started keto myself and still learning. I am constantly looking foods up to find carb content and make sure I'm staying on track.
