It would depend on how much more you have to lose... I do lower fat 65% and moderate protein, but enough to fuel my work outs. I also pay attention to portion sizes and cals. When I stall it is because I am not measuring (eating out more), or indulging too much with peanut butter and cheeses.

My weight stalled for months and it was due to peanut butter. I find it difficult to measure a tablespoon..... I removed PB for a week and the scale moved. Now I have PB in moderation, no longer an everyday thing because it gets pretty addictive to me due to the sugar. Good luck!

I am 11 months in and lost 66# thus far. This is probably the longest period of time that I have kept weight off, therefore this is now my way of eating. I keep my carbs at 20 net or lower. I also suggest what has already been suggested, reddit.com/r/keto/, http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ -- These two sites are what got…

This goes for me too. I seldom add veggies to my breakfast, but I do have some for lunch or dinner. I typically go fat-heavy instead in the morning for my source of energy.

First, please do not waste paper towels trying to pat dry beautiful bacon of the glistening bacon drippings... :tongue: I save all my bacon drippings for later use , i.e frying eggs, frying chicken wings etc... I count the nutrition label for my cooked bacon, however when I use my bacon drippings I count that separately. I…

Your diary is not open. When I did test, the best time I got my readings was in the evening. Are you overdoing the protein? Excess protein will turn to glucose therefore not get you into ketosis. Maybe keep your protein higher on lifting days but on days you are not lifting them lower them. Of course keep protein high…

Sanford here!

When it comes to biology or anything scientific I have to say I am not the go to person. However, I read somewhere your body will pump out more insulin to make up for the lack of glucose you are giving your body so your numbers will be not as expected. Not sure how that works. LOL Something my doctor told me when I was on…

- anybody following Stephanie Person's approach to Keto...she looks fabulous and always full of energy? Do not know of her. I have read books and their is a ton online from Volek and Phinney, Peter Attia, Dana Carpenter, Jimmy Moore, William Davis. I would also reccomend http://www.reddit.com/r/keto/ Read the Keto in a…

Not many people in my circles have heard of keto. I do not bring up keto unless they ask me specifically how I am losing weight. A couple of co workers asked and I gave them some resources, they followed it and got great results. Others ask me about it and quickly say "i can't live without bread, pasta or rice"--so I leave…

I'm 37, 5'1 and started at 233#'s (A cup-:sad: ) about 11 months ago when I found keto. Currently I am at 167 and I still will like to lose another 40#'s. When I started my A1C was 8.4 and my blood pressure and cholesterol were on the high end that my doctor was considering medication for both. After 5 months my A1C was at…

Nill-I just pulled my fat fast book and did not find that recipe! I want some artichoke dip to dip my pork rinds in :sad: Please share!

I echo all the advice everyone has given you here, especially this from Raddii... Last Friday I decided to go over my carbs from 20 to 60 and I am just not getting back into ketosis. Some people have a higher threshold of how many carbs they can eat and still lose weight... I'm not one of them. I use to have my one square…

I stay away from the low carb breads and I stick to 20g of carbs. One that I used to eat when I was not as restrictive was the Josephs Pita breads (4 net carbs). They sell them at BJ's, Wal-mart... here is the website https://www.josephsbakery.com BTW, you can also use pork rinds to dip in your egg salad, guacamole or as…

Eggs are perfect and inexpensive! :) IMO, Bacon is perfect too, but more expensive... :(

My period did an adjustment after a few months of keto (short 25 days in one cycle and a longer 29 days in another cycle). It is all based on hormones, and insulin is a hormone. I keep track of my period using a free app --period tracker. My periods the first few months seemed heavier. However, my body is back on schedule…

I'm 5'1 at 167# right now. However, I started at 230#. I target about 1400 cals under 20 net carbs. I did start lifting heavy the last two months so the scale has not shown much difference, however my clothes fit better and people notice the physical change. If I am hungry I eat more, but I stay keto. The weight loss has…

I follow a keto diet as well, have also reduced my H1AC from 8.4 to 5.4, BP is no longer high and my cholesterol numbers are amazing now vs to my doctor wanting to put me on satins. I would suggest this website. http://www.reddit.com/r/keto read the keto in a nutshell doc, and there is a newbie post that you can read and…

Maybe you can share the sweets in the teacher lounge instead of taking them home? You are in a tough spot!

I second inputting your info on http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com Make sure you are not overdoing the protein. Or go over your carb limit. Use MFP to log what you eat and measure and weigh your food. I weigh my food to keep an accurate log of what I'm consuming. Drink plenty of water. I started keto with over 100#'s to…

I've been on Keto since late October 2013. Anyone here who follows the same woe can add me as well. I've lost 66#'s so far.

I'm in too! SW:168 Challenge GW:155

I log because I'm only 5'1 and too many calories will prevent me from losing. I log/track my carbs , and make sure not to over do the protein.

Feel free to add me too! I'm in FL as well

I have also been on LCHF and have great results not only on weight loss, but lowering my A1C and cholesterol. I also use http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ to figure out my macros. My carb intake is 20g or less. Anyone who follows LCHF can friend me if they like. http://www.reddit.com/r/keto is a very supportive site , and…

I've been on keto since November 2013 and from April to about 2 weeks ago my weight loss just stopped. However I kept at it and in the last 2 weeks have last 6 lbs after months of no losses. Your body is adjusting, stop looking at low carb as a diet and look at it as a way of life. I stayed strong on keto because I enjoy…

The buffalo chicken sauce you use to make chicken wings, works great with any chicken, or pork. i like to fry up country style pork ribs cut up in bite size (think chicharrones) and smother them in the buffalo sauce then dip them in ranch or blue cheese.

Mayo, Sirracha, Guacamole, mustard, blue cheese dressing... the possibilities are endless Hold up! 42lbs in 2 months is amazing. Congrats!

Pork is pretty cheap! I load up on pork chops at winn dixie when they are BOGO. Frozen veggies can be cheaper as they will last longer and reduce trips to the market.I buy the fattiest and cheapest hamburger. I buy a 5 dozen box of eggs at BJ's per week for my family of 3. Its really not more expensive unless you buy…

You described all symptoms of the keto flu. Drink chicken broth as mentioned previously. The main forums will not be supportive of this way of eating, there are Keto and Low carb supportive groups on myfitnesspal. You can also check http://www.reddit.com/r/keto. I have been on Keto since November and stick to less than 20g…
