I began Keto in October. I guess it was sometime into the second week that I noticed I wasn't looking at the clock waiting for lunch time to hurry up and get here. Now, I'm fairly confident I could go without, however, I eat because I know I need to. Things will change. Be determined and give it a little more time. I bet…

That was supposed to be UN-imaginable.

I am very sorry to hear about your loss. The pain must be imaginable. I would be honored to be a part of your support system. Sending a friends request your way.

I just turned 51 in October and am 16 lbs into a 115 lb loss goal since 10/12/13. I peeked at your profile, your food diary is not open. . I am interested in making new friends in general and am very interested in others doing keto w/ open diaries so we can exchange food ideas and expand our possibilities. My profile and…

51 year old Dialysis Nurse doing Keto. I have a pencil (pen) pushing managerial desk job and I have 115 lbs to lose and have chopped away 15 of it in the past few weeks. I am interested in making new friends, in the nursing community and in general. I am very interested in others doing keto w/ open diaries so we can…

I think you're right. For some reason I didn't pick up on the fact that there was a lot of protein it them. AND, they're highly addictive. Because of those I was over on protein that night but was still under on fat. The next morning my bs was 91 I think. Not too terribly high. It was the second time my bs got in the 90's…

Don't shoot, don't shoot! I'm simply finishing off the light Hellman's that I have been using. A brand new jar of the real stuff is waiting in the pantry to be opened. Same with the cream cheese. I'm trying to mix it up a little. I have one more package of the reduced fat cream cheese to go. I have 2 full fat sitting…

I read the majority of this article and scanned the rest. I was not able to find any information regarding the effects on blood sugar levels r/t eating pork rinds. Can you cut & paste the piece of information you are referring to into one of these reply boxes? Thanks for the pointers.

You have made a remarkable transformation! You give us all strength and encouragement to continue on with our quest.

Welcome Walter & Eva. I'm an Okie. That's Oklahoma for the un-initiated in "redneck speak". Glad your here I myself started lurking a couple months ago and then got serious and dove into the deep end on 10/12/13. Together we are an army!

Thanks Mermaid!

I see your posts in several places and you seem VERY knowledgeable regarding maintaining Ketosis. Can you explain a little bit about why a high protein / low fat meal could throw you out of ketosis? And, how little fat is too little per meal? I would like to friends request you so that I might learn some more.

I was newly diagnosed as being 51 on October 13... :glasses: I am going the Ketogenic route. I am also looking for a few friends that I can relate to on this journey. Please feel free to add me.

Just started eating Ketogenic 2 weeks ago. I have been keeping my net carbs under 20. You can see my food diary, it is open. I'm also looking for new friends traveling this same road as I am for strength and support. Feel free to add me. I reset my % on MFP according to the Ketogenic Ratios = Carb%, Protein%, Fat% =…

I am also looking for a few friends on this journey. I am newly diagnosed as being 51... :smile: I am going the Ketogenic route. My blood sugars normalized almost immediately and I just finished the first two weeks of induction. So, I am at the beginning of this change myself. I am a Registered Nurse working in dialysis.…

Thanks all. After doing a bit more research I discovered I was using the default % for weight loss from MFP. I have changed my % to Carb, Protein, Fat = 5, 25, 75. After this change I discovered I was on target. Yea!

I would like to know the answer to that too. I just finished 2 weeks induction. My Net Carbs are below 20 but my fat and protein grams are usually way over. My fiber is real low too.

If that's your current picture, you don't look like your becoming fat and lazy... Your picture is what I want to get back to.

I also am new to keto, need to lose about 120 total. It's good your starting young. I was diagnosed with DM-II about 4 years ago and am just now starting to do something about it. I have, as of today, completed the first 2 weeks of induction and have been maintaining my carbs below 20g/day. I plan on continuing this…

Nice article on Keto Adaptation. I did a C&P after reading to my Keto file. Question: I have just finished 2 weeks of induction, 11 lbs down. I recently started using MFP food diary for tracking and have huge protein and fat intake numbers. what are acceptable levels of on this diet and when do I need to start paying…

Thanks for the recipe. After 2 weeks of induction, I'm starting to branch out a little and increase my options without raising my 20/day carb limit.

I'm new to this too. I'm 2 weeks into the induction phase. May stay there for a while as I have a ways to go.
