The statin worked really well for me but with changes to my WOE my numbers came down so far that, with my doctor's approval, I stopped taking it also. My tri's are still a little high and my cholesterol went back up but not as high as before. Doc is still comfortable with me not taking the statins but doesn't really like…

Thanks ladipoet!

I've never heard that before. Interesting. I'll have to keep that in mind for my next labs.

Bacon is awesome! But what Sunny_Bunny_ said is very true. Eat when you're hungry, eat 'til you're full. I started out trying to keep my macros at 70-75% fat calories, 20-25% protein and 5% carbs. I've had to adjust down to 65% fat, and may need to go lower, but everyone is different. Try to be consistent for a while and…

San Diego, CA (USA) I've been trying keto since October. My wife saw how well it was working for me and now we're both doing it.

I'm logging consistently. It's the only way for me to keep my macros in line.

I started keto on my own even though my doctor wanted me to keep carb intake at a higher level. He's OK with me staying on it for a while but wants me to come off keto as I near my weight loss goal. He did order tests to check my sodium and potassium levels without my having to ask. Both were in the lower end of the normal…

LOL! This is me! I don't really like fish. I can eat it but I don't enjoy it so avoiding it is easy.

For me, I kind of eased into low carb by accident by just cutting back on breads and sugars to lower my blood glucose after primary doc warned me about my A1C level. After losing 4 pounds over 5 months I heard about keto (article on someone who ate nothing but bacon for 30 days, and a book by Gary Taubes) and started…

Thanks

How much extra salt do you add? I'm having one to two cups of bouillon a day to keep my sodium up.

New to the forum and first challenge here. I've lost 49 lb.s so far this year, mostly since early August. I'm trying to hit 265 by the end of the month. SW 11/26 278 12/3 275 12/10 12/17 12/24 12/31

I started out by cutting out a few carbs here and there and lost 4 pounds over 5 months. Since early August I got better about cutting out carbs. Then I read "Why We Get Fat and What to do About It" by Gary Taubes. That's when I kicked into the keto diet. I've lost 44 pounds since 8/10, losing 2-4 pounds per week. It was…
