I'm doing the ketogenic diet, it has been working great for me (except for the last few weeks where I fell off the wagon!). Low carb works fantastically for me- I feel full, I have more energy and I don't crave like I did before. Time for me to get back on track! I'm about same weight as you so feel free to add me! :)

Hi Nicole, It's GREAT to meet you! I am starting back on my journey today after a three week break (and a lot of self doubt!). I clicked on the message board to see your post and I was chuffed because my name is Nicole! It was like a nice little reminder to myself from a complete stranger- THANKS! Wishing you all the best…

Gin or Vodka & Diet Tonic or Diet Ginger or Diet Soda is my favourite- not quite a traditional cocktail but it works when I'm out and about!

If all else fails I always underestimate my calories exerted and overestimate my calories consumed.

Hiya, If you are registering deep purple on your ketostix it is likely that you need to drink alot more water; this will also help with your constipation issue (hopefully). I drink about 3-5litres a day, keep my carbs very low and only register trace amounts of ketones on my ketostix; I'm happy with this as it means I'm…

Cheese, sour cream, cream cheese & cream are all great parts of the Keto diet (within moderation of course!). I love sitting down and treating myself to a cheese platter (whilst maintaining a calorie deficit); something that was previously forbidden when I was trying to do a 'low fat' diet!

I don't find that it makes it greasy or gives it a weird after taste- it has a very mild taste and it does depend on the quality of the coconut oil you are using. Often I will put the oil in first and then as I'm pouring the coffee I will swirl the cup- I find it helps to avoid the slick on-top.

It will be including added extras (milk,butter etc), this is why I add 'egg whole raw' and then add in what I actually use rather than what some other person used in their scrambled eggs.

Hiya, Head over to http://www.reddit.com/r/vegetarianketo for some support- it can be done but it does seem to take more effort than regular Keto. Best of luck :)

Sort of- I find that I naturally stay below my calorie limit because I am satisfied from the foods I am eating (I still track to make sure I am meeting my needs and not going over- in my brain I should be over, but in reality I'm not) ; whereas when I was doing low fat I had to count every calorie in order to stay below my…

Chocolate Chia pudding! Tons of recipes on the internet; have a squiz and see what you can find. Super high in protein and you can alter it in so many ways to meet your needs.

Every Saturday morning at about 8am :-) Keeping it consistent helps with my sanity.

High fat, moderate protein and low carbohydrates with a moderate calorie intake works very well for me. Using this model I have cut out most processed foods and am starting to really understand the different 'values' of foods (what makes me feel satiated, what spikes my BSL, what makes me bloated....). I spent my whole…

I'm glad you made this point, a very important difference between the two.

I love doing Low Carb- I aim for 65/30/5 split of my macros (fat, protein, carbs); I feel great, I don't have spikes in my BSL and rarely get cravings. I am satiated most of the time and am better able to understand my body when I am low carb. Best nutritional move I have made in my life.

Woo-hoo!! Goodwork... keep going and be proud of every moment! :D

Hi sorry, Southern Hemisphere here! I used the Keto calculator that you have used and was using it's advice, however was finding it difficult to hit my targets of 60/35/5, so read some other info/other peoples guides and moved to 70/25/5 both ways the protein guide that MFP gave me (when I changes my macros goals) seemed…

Installed this today- very impressed!!
-
Thanks for all of your awesome encouragement team, makes me even prouder and more committed when I hear feedback and stories like the ones you have shared!

I want to lose 1 kg by the end of January, 2kg in February and 2kg in March; from then I will reassess! Really hoping I can manage to meet these low, but realistic, goals.

Mornings for sure- I try to get to the gym for 5:30am, just as it's opening. Nice and quiet and lots of free equipment! Wakes me up and helps keep me on track for the day.

I was feeling the same when I first started going, I thought everyone would be looking at me and laughing. I soon realised that I was the only person looking at people (to make sure they weren't looking at me) and people really don't care, they are there to get fit/stay fit and so are you. I find going early (5:30am) helps…
