20-25 net. This is my first time really aiming this low as previously I was at 35-50 net carbs, but I'm trying this for a while to really get better control on my eating habits. One week in and I feel better already.

I have an 8, 14 and 16 year olds. Both teens have lost quite a bit of weight within the past 6-12 months. My son likes to do low carb from observing what I do, so much so that sometimes I have to remind him to get enough protein and fat because he's still growing! So...when I first started trying keto, I tried to get my…

I would say to enjoy it while it lasts! Haha. My appetite was pretty well under control for a while when I first started, but it picked up later. However, I have never done strict keto and have usually kept my carbs at around 35-50.

I work from home,, so my schedule is looser than some and I also don't do full time hours. So once they are all off to school, that's my time to have a little run outside before getting ready for the day. It doesn't always happen when other things get scheduled into the morning, but I aim for 3-4 days a week. If I go…

Every once in a while I do when I'm abnormally hungry, but mostly no. I don't always log my exercise either because it doesn't matter to me how many more calories MFP gives me.

Great story! Thanks for sharing it.

Hard work pays off. Congrats!

Thanks @tcunbeliever super helpful list of info. There are a couple there that I need to look into.
-
Great news! Gives me hope too. :)

Water and protein, yes, I think there is something to that. I've always had my carbs at higher than 20...I'm just not happy unless I have enough vegetables in my diet not being a big fan of meat. So maybe a lack of protein is the culprit. I already have menopause, but yeah, that's messed with me for the past year and a…

Very inspiring! Well done!

Awesome! I'm in my 3rd week back at keto after a break and actually forgot to have my coffee this morning because I didn't feel so tired. I LOVE my coffee...so weird! :) Great job!
-
I see the difference! And 3 months postpartum and verrrrry soon for expectations. You're doing great!
-
Please feel free to add me too! I'm not new to keto, but I'm back after a brief hiatus. :) Kind of relearning all those things I knew but stopped doing. I agree...planning ahead for what you will eat saves the day. It seems like a pain, but for me I'm ok with repeating some meals like lunch all the time and I rarely eat…

Me! My doctor suggested it as I was prediabetic. Now I'm not. :)
-
I drink some pickle juice every day, but I don't let my family see me because they gag :) I also drink bouillon sometimes and add salt to my foods. I haven't had keto flu in a long long time even starting keto again recently after just being low carb for a long time. I don't log it though. I can tell by how I'm feeling if…

I'm a runner and have been keto in the past. I've been doing more of a low carb diet in the past 6-8 months, but I am trying to go back to keto right now. I'm interested to see how it affects my running. So far nothing noticeable as I'm already used to running and intermittent fasting. I run a bit less than you, anywhere…
-
I did keto for about a year and lost 40 pounds, and that was with lots of good vegetables, protein and a few fruits but rarely any breads or grains. Now I'm simply lower carb and the only difference is that I eat more fruit now. I still do not eat many desserts or breads/grains/pastas. I have avoided medications for both…

We just got over that. The first thing I ate after was a half a piece of toast with butter. After that I made chicken soup with vegetables and ate that a few times. Now I'm back to my regular stuff. Hope you feel better soon!
-
That's wonderful! Yes I know what you're talking about. It's those "little scale victories" that keep us going huh?
-
The arsenic in mine is quite alarming. What?!
-
I'm new to weightlifting but not low carb. I had terrible muscle soreness repeatedly...not just once or twice...until I started taking magnesium. Now it's much better. I think I have magnesium malate.
-
Did it for a while. Don't like it enough to have it instead of food though. :)
-
I usually get a steak fajita salad that comes with avocado, egg, etc. It still has carbs of course, but not like eating tortillas and such. I also indulge in a few chips with salsa, but I can usually stop after a few. The steak/avocado/egg combo is very satisfying because we never have steak at home. Have fun!
-
I keep some dark chocolate on hand and I don't usually crave it until I really need it. :) I eat it with a little peanut butter.
-
Marvelous!
-
I drink Coke Zero about once or twice a week. I do think it might not be the best for me because I don't drink enough water when I'm adding soda to my day, but I don't really think it makes me crave sweets.
-
Agreed that hungry days will come again! Most of the time I eat at mealtimes out of habit and not from hunger. But every now and then, I am ravenous and I do eat more on those days.
