Hi, and about to turn 37 in a few weeks. I am getting started as well. I have been off anytype of healthy eating or exercise in about a year and gained 30 pounds. I am one pound away from 200 and its scary I feel like I'm losing control.

My goal is to stick to this Keto lifestyle for 6 months. I am hoping that with my nutritional changes and my workouts I can get where I want to be. However, once 6 months pass I will transition to what you are doing. I think that makes more sense for long term. Frankly, I been dreaming about salads lol! six months will…

I completely agree with you!! I don't think Keto is the best decision long term, and it must be hard to have been on this diet for 5 years. I definitely commend you for it!! Keto is beyond drastic from me, because I do not like meat. However, I was a vegan junkie and not getting anywhere. I love to indulge and I need…

@FireTurtle75 -- Amazing job!!! :smiley:

@ugofatcat -- going back to to how I used to eat is not easy anymore. I had a lot of acne and would break out in different spots of my body. Not to mention have allergic reactions to the foods I ate with terrible stomach pains. After eliminating certain foods from my diet my skin and allergies are gone and I feel great.…

@gla88 I made zucchini bread with walnuts with almond flour it's very low on carbs high on protein.

The study is, "Effects on Ketogenic Diets on Cardiovascular Rick Factors: Evidence from Animal and Human Studies," by Christophe Kosinski and Francois Jornayvaz." You can Google it and download the PDF.

LOL. I never even thought about it like that!!

All your comments are amazing and very insightful. Thank you! Today I went grocery shopping after eating soo much meat all week my soul was happy buying a verify of veggies and fruits. Based on the fact that soy is predominately a GMO crop I will not consume any soy. The alternative that I am going with is Hemp milk,…

@gla88 the tips I used is to keep meals simple. Meal prepping is essential! It's better to wake up everyday knowing exactly what your going to eat versus prepping as you go. It helps me not over eat and stay on track. As far as trackers I think this app is great. Customize your macros and you know exactly where you are at…

So after 5 days of strict Keto Friday nights are usually the days that I enjoy a meal and drinks. I tried to stay as close to Keto as possible. I had fatty seafood and yes I endulged into frozen yogurt. It's okay for cheat meals one meal can't change all the progress you have made. The only problem I'm not sure how this…

Thanks for your post I was wondering about MTC oil is there a specific brand that you prefer?

@ariel_11161 Keto is a lot I definitely did my research to start. I watched a lot of videos amd read some studies. One suggestion it to meal plan, and stick to the basics. If you get fancy with ingredients it can drive you crazy counting your macros. At least, I went crazy and that is why I decided to join this App. I was…

Awesome job!!!

I'm happy to hear people sticking with keto long term. It's quite an adjustment. Since I'm trying to lose weight not sure if I should focus on calorie total or more the macros. Right now I am paying more attention to my macros. I do Crossfit in the morning which is always a crazy challenging workout and do cardio or heavy…

I felt day 1 and 2 where terrible but day 3 and now day 4 it feels better. My energy is great and lost 3.4 pounds.

Hello feel free to add me. I am on a "strict" Keto diet on day 3 today!
