Hi! You’re post resonated with me! I did Keto successfully for two years. I plateaued 4 months in to that 2 years and started at it until I no longer felt healthy. I have a recent neck issue that has resulted in diminished use of my left arm. So pretty much exercise is out, other than walking. So I am going to power into…

I don't count calories. But I know that if I ate 2000 calories I would feel sick. Some people can eat that much and more. So I would say keep an eye on your calories. I have a naturally very slow metabolism, I don't really over eat. Without keto, or I should say before keto. I would have to do my caloric intake to 600…

I am also new / back to my fitness. I am back on keto. I was on keto, mastered my macros and lost 28lbs. I've since regained those pounds during covid and need to get rid of them again.. Day 4, with my macros right around 75/20/5. Keeping the fast up long term is to much for me. By 8 months I couldn't handle it. I am also…

Btw. I have been migraine free since July. That alone makes me a keto believer. I’m going to up my carbs with veggies and fruit. I am staying away from other carbs.

I’m 5’10”. My daily calorie target has been 1200 calories/day forever. True story, before keto I’d drop to around 600 cal/day, and only lose 1-2 lbs /wk. I’m hypothyroid. I’m doing keto to lose weight. I’m currently 178, started at 194 lbs. I’d like to be 155-160. Sad to say I have a slow/low metabolism. I exercise,…

I shoot for 20g/day. If it’s 25 I don’t freak. I’ve stopped loosing weight though. Something is wrong. My numbers are good, mostly 5/20/75. Idk what’s wrong. I’m ranging between 1200 and 1400 cal/day. Maybe I need to focus on lower calories too. I lost 20 in 4 weeks, weeks 5-10 nothing. Any advice?

Once, though not while on keto I was as loosing my hair so much so that I would certainly be bald. Turned out, I was extremely iron deficient. As soon as I was in iron supplements the loss stopped and my hair grew back. You can’t guess though. Because thyroid issues can also be the issu. You need to get blood work. You can…

I’ve been on keto 2 months now. I lost 16 lbs right away and only 2 lbs since then. I feel better and hope the weight loss continues but there are other benefits. I haven’t had a migraine in a months! I am getting us d to keto, it’s second nature now. I ready to start tweeting it to get healthier. You am so very inspired…

Try the full fat. AMAZING. My fav is with fresh strawberries. Wish the full fat (5%). Came in the single serving like yours! It’s my alternative to eggs and bacon.

Keto taco bowl. Carbs 13, fat 22, protein 35

Just a note for the migraine issue. I live in the northeast, NJ to be more precise. We’ve had some crazy barometric shifts and weather fronts move through recently. These types of event have always triggered my migraines and migraine associated flashes and aura. I am really pleased to say that I haven’t had a migraine…

Sorry ate most of the burger. Seasoned with Lowery’s mesquite seasoning and topped with blue. Cheese. It was a bit dry so I added some avacado. The poppers were my carbs and no I didn’t eat them all just 4

Thanks so much for the article

Someone recommended magnesium supplement -500mg once per day. It took care of my keto flu symptoms. I also drink lots of water. That was at the end of week one. Now three weeks in I have weird sores inside corner of my mouth. I’m going to start multivitamins

Grilled steak and jalapeño poppers. A new favorite as the jalapeño crop is just coming in. So good. Poppers Halved and seeded jalapeños -8 Package full fat cream cheese- 8oz Extra sharp cheddar, grated fine -4oz Fresh or dried chives 2-4 tsp Garlic powder 1/2 tsp Hormel real bacon bits. Cut and clean jalapeños. Mix…

I’m new to keto as well. I just finished week two. I also read that that the target for carbs was 20g. I am struggling daily to get that low and keep missing it. Ive changed my settings to macros rather than calories to help. I am doing this to be healthier and lose weight. It’s the end of week two and I’ve lost 14 lbs, so…

My go to snack is nuts, salt and pepper pistachios are my current favorite, in shells. I count out 25 and the shells pace me. If I’m really hungry, tummy growling, I have 1 cup of 5% (whole milk) Fage yogurt with a teaspoon of organic low sugar blueberry jam. (5g carb). This yogurt is THICK, very filling

Keto helped your migraines?! I get migraines, my neurologist never suggested diet to help.

I am a 56 yo high school teacher. I am hypothyroid and literally need to drop into the 600 calorie range in a normal diet to lose 1 lb a week. So it’s a struggle bus for me. I am trying Keto, day 2. I definetly could use some weight loss buddies! Feel free to friend me. I’d love to share the craziness that is keto. Oh, I…

I’d love to join this group. I am on day two of keto. I am having difficulty adjusting my macros. I guess it will be trial and error at first
