Thank you! Will increase protein. I have lost about 5 lbs in the first 2.5 weeks. That was mostly in the first week. I think it was water weight.

Thanks! I am 165 and 5'7, definitely heavier than I should be. I am not much into exercise. I am on my feet much of the day and I get about 10-15K steps but I'm sure I need strength training and am very out of shape. I had a think build when I was younger but now in my 40s after 2 kids not so much.

For the last few days, protein has been - 84, 67, 85,72,115. Does that seem ok/low or high?

Thanks for this! I do multivitamins and will add the Biotin for additional support. I am loving this diet so much, and would be sad to give it up. It's the only diet I've tried where I never feel food deprived and digestion is amazing. I am doing about 1600 cals a day which I think should be fine for me at 5'6".

Thankyou!!! I would say I am getting more of both than ever, as I am no longer eating bagels all day haha. Thanks.

The Carb Manager app is great for this - it gives you the net carbs. Very helpful.

Thanks so much ladies. So far I have been loving it. One thing I am very concerned about is "hair loss". I've been reading about this in a facebook group. Any tips to make sure this doesn't happen? IS it really common?

Thanks so much for this. I was having a hard time synthesizing the info. Would you way that this is something that happens with most people with keto? How likely/unlikely is a person to experience hair loss? Ior your help. am not looking to lose a ton of weight or drastically reduce calories, but I was eating pretty high…

Thanks for this...this thread is also kind of all over the place. Is there no real consensus on what causes this and how to avoid it?

First time poster, new to keto - I am one week in.. So far I'm enjoying this very different way of eating. I'm not a meat lover and probably have a carb addiction - not sweets just bread/rice/potato based. I've been enjoying the bacon, eggs, charcuterie boards etc. SW 178.6 GW 150 Sunday 5/17 178.6 Sunday 5/24 174 Sunday…

I've gained 13 lbs in the last 2 months.

I’m in!! I need the motivation. SW: 172 CW: 171 GW: 150 1/20-171 1/27 2/3 2/10 2/17 2/24 3/2 3/9 3/16

Yes me too. I recently picked up a protein powder mix....it gives you 30g, mix with fruit in a smoothie

Just wondering if you could advise me on how you managed to sync MFP with Noom - trying to figure it out, thanks!!

Thanks everyone for the thoughts. I’m not sure if I will go past the free trial period...I do like mfp for food diary. I was interested in the psychology part and the group mainly. Thanks!

Yesterday was better...made a big salad for lunch to take to work and some low cal snacks. I was surprised to learn that the salad filled me up more than my usual wraps do and I was less hungry after work. After work is my absolute worst time for making bad food choices. Have a good day everyone!

Those are similar goals to mine! My problem is after work eating as a mode of relaxation.

I really need some motivation! I am 44 and am about 10 lbs heavier than I should be. I lost 15 lbs last spring/summer but 5 -7 have crept back on over our cold winter of heavy sweaters and icy sidewalks. I don't go to the gym but am an avid walker. I really need to motivate myself to get to my ideal weight but I find it so…
