Celery or cucumber works for me.

Started November 1st last year. Very low carb at <20g net a day. To date have lost a little over 58 pounds. I weigh and log everything I eat and am selective about the database entries I use. I do watch calorie consumption but almost never feel hungry and have never been tempted to cheat.

Looking good. Well done.

It really depends on how you approach it, but yes it is possible. I have lost a little over 58 pounds in 6 months. My doctor put me on LCHF. Not saying this is what you should do, just how I have lost weight. I have weighed and logged everything I eat and drink and once I recovered from an Achilles heel injury have been…

I didn't get much reaction until I started wearing new work uniforms. I dropped from size 18 to size 10 but the bigger clothes hid it. All of a sudden I have people who don't recognize me welcoming me and are shocked when they realize who I am.

Congratulations. It just goes to show what determination and commitment can do.

I cleared my closet a couple of weeks ago. I am not ready to give them to a charity shop just yest, but it won't be long before I bite the bullet and send them off. Most are simply too big a size difference to alter successfully. I have had a great time shopping for new clothes and rediscovering some clothes I had kept…

I work full-time 12 hour shifts as a neonatal intensive care nurse, which is pretty stressful and can be physically demanding. On days I work I rarely do any extra physical activity or training as I feel I get enough at work. If however I do have a quiet day I will do some walking during one of my breaks. I keep my…

I got new uniforms for work (size 10 instead of size 18) and people have been constantly commenting on how good I am looking and asking if I have lost weight. In the old saggy, baggy uniforms it was hard to see the newer, smaller me.

I generally eat some, but not all, back as I find the calories allocated to an activity seem to be over generous at times.

A fantastic effort. Congratulations.

Almost made it, but not quite. I managed a loss of 24.1 pounds. Even though I didn't make the 25 pounds I am very happy with the result. :)

My energy levels have improved greatly since starting keto last November. You can feel tired initially while your body adapts to running on ketones, but after that I found I simply have more energy. I don't surf but can now walk 10km at a brisk pace with no problem. I used to barely be able to manage 3k's at a steady walk.

Now yes, but when I lived on a rural property in Australia and only had water via rainwater tanks I had to be cautious with water use so only showered on alternate days and had a good sponge wash on the other days.

I buy salmon, chicken, duck breasts, steak, bacon, eggs, but have always done this even when not keto. The balance of my shopping is for vegetables.

Stay here.

Welcome to keto. I am certainly not too old even though I am 61. Since starting keto (I am on a medically supervised HFLC eating plan of <20g carbs a day for insulin resistance) in November last year, I have shed 21.4kg (about 47 pounds). My blood markers have all improved and I came off blood pressure medication in…

I am going out for a family lunch, then I am going to see Ed Sheeran in concert. :)

I haven't found it more expensive. If anything my food bills are smaller as I don't now buy the generally more expensive processed foods.

It is working for me. A little over 4 months ago I was put on LCHF by my doctor due to showing insulin resistance. I have had good weight loss (21.4kg), improved blood markers and I have not found it hard to stick to, as despite what many people think there are still many food options which allows for variety in your diet.…

Hi, I am also a nurse. I usually pack a salad and some sort of protein to have with it. For snacks I pack some berries and/or nuts. I also take an almond milk drink with me. Alternatively when cooking the night before, make a little extra and take that with you. Hope this helps.

Southern Sons, Hold me in your arms.

For me keto works, but have been doing it under medical supervision for a little over 4 months due to insulin resistance. I used to love carbs but now don't crave them at all. As an added bonus, I used to drink a lot of alcohol but now find that I don't crave that either. My blood markers have all improved. I continue to…

Seeing Smilin40's post. You both look so happy. :)
