No, it's not needed for weight loss but doesn't it really enhance the effort? I'm trying to get more bang for my buck and it really is something I believe in. Eating on keto is more of my way of eating normally. I just consider keto a little added insurance on my weight loss journey.

So then I'll ask the question - does it matter ? I'm trying to lose weight and I have a lot to lose. I'm trying to stay at 1300 cals and exercising (walking, 5 lb weights, squats)

Thank you for the response. I'm still trying to figure this all out and trying to listen to what my body is telling me. I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

Thank you so much. Very informational. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Mostly, I just love / crave food and especially at night when my guard is down. Portion control goes out the window and I over eat. Can't seem to find out why or how to stop it. All day long is great. At night, the demons are unleashed.

Are you adding all of this into your cup of coffee?

.[/quote] Thank you so much. You have definitely just improved my MFP experience :smiley:

I guess I should have said "in lieu of" Do you have a suggestion or just want to point out my writing flaws?

How the heck do you reply to a particular post on here???

Awesome Thank you! One question, do you use strips to measure if you are in Ketosis or not?

. . . . to lose weight. I want to burn stored fat rather than quick energy carbs. I want to keep my body in this state as long as possible. I also want to eat more healthy fats.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply. All the info is so appreciated. 1. I won't kill myself to stay under the 1450. 2. Drink more water 3. Break up my meals 4. Can eat more of the low cal foods for volume 5. Walk Got it!!!!!

So what happens when you have too little food? Does that just mean my body is hanging on to what I have so I'm not losing? Also, I'm happy as hell to lose 1.5 a week. Do you really think upping the cals are the way to go? This is all so confusing. Ughhhh. I really appreciate all your insight

I have the same problem! I can stay on task all day and maintain my goals, but then I get home from work and I finally eat dinner and it unleashes a monster in me. I can't stop eating and craving food! It's the hardest to overcome/deal with since I've started to make these food changes in my life. So I totally understand…

5'6" 270 right now my goal is 1425

I came across a documentary on Netflix called the Magic Pill. I highly recommend it. I thought is was about big pharma companies etc. It turns out it gives a lot of valid information on diet, keto, the environment, and our food production history. All the gals in the office are talking about Keto and I have been waiting…

I feel your pain! I'm just starting Keto and am super motivated. Let's help each other out. Let's kick some butt!!

I'm just starting out on this journey too. I would love to follow your story and help if I can. I started at 283lbs and am at 270lbs and have already hit a plateau. I've cut out sugar and carbs to start, and lowered my calorie intake significantly. But I have a long long way to go. The struggle is real. Let's do this!!!

Sorry what is VSG?
