I take Nature Made high potency magnesium. They're 400 MG tablets. I take 1 a day when I'm feeling good, but have taken up to 2 when I feel I need help.

Thanks for sharing your results. I took a body scan at my physician's office that has similar measurements. I'm looking forward to seeing my progress in a few months. Good job!!! You inspire others.

To clarify my post. When I say intermittent fasting is easier, it is because my body HAS already identified another fuel source, and therefore I'm not craving carbs or feeling hungry while I'm fasting. You are correct, it doesn't work for everyone, and I'm not sure I implied it did. Our bodies are all different and we have…

Wow! You're off to an amazing start. Keep it up! I've been on Keto since 12-26-18 and have lost 17.6 pounds so far. I'd love to lose another 40. You're welcome to add me if you'd like. I know you can hit your goal.

My face swells if I consume too much sodium. My stomach, if I eat bread or corn.

Wow! Great job! Very inspiring.

Wow, great job! I started back on Keto 12-26-18. I love this WOE.

I do Keto. However, I also implement intermittent fasting 16:8, at least 3 times a week. It has been effective for me, but I think the Keto eating plan has definitely contributed to my success.

I had the same problem. I eliminated them and the bloating went away. One day I had a cheat meal with corn chips, and within no time my stomach felt horrible. Everyone's body is different. I'd test the theory by eliminating them for a month and see how you feel.

Diabetes runs in my family as well. I was pre-diabetic with high cholesterol. At a physical my doctor told me to lose weight and had a list of things to change/supplements to take. I had lost wieght with low carb/keto in the past, so thought I'd try it again. After going back to Keto, I've started losing weight, and at my…

I am on Keto. If I feel like my weight loss is slowing, I implement intermittent fasting 16:8 at least 2-3 times a week. Basically, I'll eat between 6:30AM and 2:30PM (Keto) and be done eating for the day. Once keto adapted, the intermittant fasting is easy because your body has identified a different fuel source.

I try to find healthy options and have them available for when the cravings hit, for example dark chocolate with at least 60% cacao instead of milk chocolate. I am on a Keto diet, so I can still hitup fast food places with modifications. However, I do try to avoid some of my old favorite restaurants because my favorite…

Congratulations on completing chemo and radiation treatments. You have already proven to be a warrior!! I'm confident you will conquer your physical goals.

Hi! I also gained weight back after falling off the keto wagon. I've been back on it since 12-26-18. I'll send you a friend request.

Hi! I sent you a friend request.

No nightmares, but my sleep was all over the place when I was transitioning into ketosis. I started back on Keto 12-26, and last night was my first good night sleep.

I started back on Keto 12-26 and I am already down 5.8 pounds. I love this way of eating.

I am also on Keto. I really enjoy the food choices and less restrictive calorie counting. I've been on it for a week now and can already feel inflammation from a prior injury going down.

I enjoy Keto because I don't have to feel hungry. The initial phase can be hard with the cravings, but they do eventually go away.

I've been doing Keto for the last week. I did it 5 years ago too and was successful with it. Getting my act together after falling off. Feel free to add me.

I use the keto test strips.

I'm glad you found the macro calculator. I calculated mine, but follow it very loosely. I eat when I'm hungry and consider my % goals as it relates to each meal. I've been successful with this in the past. I find my appetite slowly decreasing as I get Keto-adapted. As far as fats, if you are going to go over on any of you…

There are some great articles and informational sites online about Keto. I'd do some research to gain a better understanding, so you can dig deeper if needed. You can also Google a Keto macro calculator.

You can adjust your goals in the settings. I set mine at: Carbs 5%, Protein 30% and Fat 65%, still within my calorie budget. You can use a Keto macro calculator online to get your recommended macros.

The best advice I can give for Keto is not to have cheat meals/days. It takes too long to get into ketosis, and a single cheat meal can blow you out of the water.

I'm aiming for Keto/Low Carb as well. Feel free to add me.

Sent you a request. I returned back to the site today, ready to start my healthy journey tomorrow morning.
