If you want to be on a keto diet you must limit your carbs to 20 g or less is what I read. It also takes approximately two weeks to get into ketosis.

congratulations!

I really like having to be accountable it is helping me break through the one year yoyo plateau of the 20 pound gain back of my initial loss! Though I haven't been perfect I have been at least 95% of the time. And I am seeing a downward trend to my weight again. Thanks for creating this thread it is really helpful!

Congratulations! This is a fight and really hard. It is so nice that we have MFP people that are going through the same challenges to help encourage and support us! Great job!

I have been struggling around the 150 mark for almost a year now. I finally broke under that last week. Being accountable with logging and the keto diet is really helping. I also am benefiting from calorie cycling. It allows me to have more calories on days that I am likely to need them. I also am really enjoying the…

I was able to get my exercise in fairly early. I did one hour of weightlifting and already walked 5 miles with my puppy. I am taking a short break then I am going to mow the lawn.

Has anyone ever thought of doing the 5 o'clock fast? I fasted till 5 o'clock and I calorie cycle and only eat 800 cal five days then I eat what you would call normal on the weekend. 800 cal is actually a lot to eat after 5 PM. I have a five hour window at that time and can eat all the way until 10 o'clock. I usually stop…
