Not one of us "low-carbers" has said carbs are the enemy or that we were eliminating them completely. Carbs are still in our diet, but they are very low in count. And high in fiber. We chose vegetables as our main source of carbs, versus bread or pasta.

Are you following a low carb diet? No. You are following you're own plan, and I am following my own. Who has the right to say that one is better than the other? We do what works for us low-carbers, and you do what works for you, Everyone is here to get healthy, and the op just asked for our opinions on Keto. I believe…

Well the low carb people I know, eat tons of vegetables, with tons of bacon, and tons of nuts, and tons of cheese. And when they were ready to go back to "normal" they didn't binge on carb-laden foods. They introduced carbs little by little increasing their carb intake at a moderate pace. And are MAINTAINING their weight…

Dropped my 41 pounds from the Keto diet plan and STILL dropping... My boyfriend has lost 61 pounds from Keto diet plan and STILL dropping... (he's been on it about 6 months longer than I have and has less to lose) All from under 25grams of carbs a day.

For me, it was very very very very hard to get into the whole low carb swing of things. I was eating McDonalds for breakfast, Wendy's for lunch, Domino's/Pizza Hut for dinner at my highest weight... And I would still be hungry at the end of the day after all that... :noway: Also, I kept "cheating" the first 3 weeks I tried…

Thanks girly! :flowerforyou: I really do love keto, and I wish it weren't frowned upon as much as it is here and other places, it's just that there's soooo much misinformation and negative connotations, :frown: And getting the opportunity to talk about the positive, awesomeness about the keto/low carb diet plan is always a…

Why I chose low carb/keto: •#1 little to no hunger •Eat delicious food (BACON!) •Eat healthy food (veggies, nuts, avocados, etc) •Increased energy •Cravings for sweets gone •Decreased blood pressure •Better mental concentration; no “brain fog” •Improved mood; emotions more even •”Compulsive” or “emotional” eating gone…

I like the way you think sir! :drinker:

I run/jog/walk in intervals about that amount every other day, with no side effects yet, on keto :wink: I was just responding to your comment about having no energy or being moody on low carb alone, and I assure you not all of us low carbers are grumpy and moody with no energy! lol :wink: Exercising and being low carb is a…

Well that's a little funny, because I feel AWESOME!!! With tons of energy and happiness. I love that I don't get that 2 o'clock afternoon slump after lunch anymore! :love: and I'm eating roughly 20-25 net grams of carbs per day. (carbs minus fiber=net carbs) Annnndd I've eaten an avocado and 2 strips of bacon for…

I LOVE :heart: THE KETO LIFE! :drinker: Two weeks is a great start, and that's how long I gave myself when I started too! Absolute yes on the blue cheese salad dressing! and ranch! just watch the nutrition label for any hidden sugars or carbs or the "lowfat" stuff, lowfat usually means they add sugar. I get my favorite…

:drinker: :drinker: YES!!! Moderation is just another form of a restrictive diet plan, just like paleo/atkins/lowcarb/primal etc are diet plans. With moderation, your limiting what you want by having less of it. It works for some individuals, and that's great, but low carb high fat works for some others like me too, which…

I've embarked on the low carb journey with my boyfriend too (not husband yet :wink:), and I'm loving every single minute of it. I was just like you, I had carb-riddled meals every single day. Cereal, Pasta, Bread, Pizza.. and tons and tons and tons and tons of fast food. :ohwell: I was addicted to carbs, lethargic, tired,…

"I just pretend my thighs are clapping for me as I run" Best. Quote. Ever. :laugh: :heart: Anyways, I am a "bigger girl" and I wear the usual pricey, but durable sports bra (which I buy online at navy,com, macys.com, etc I look for ones that cover most of your top, like racer back shirts, to keep most back flab in.) and I…
