| Thank you Very little  |
Thinking it might be a good as place as any to start a tracker/help thread for us folks who what to get cracking on losing weight with Keto, ideas on recipes, exercise tips and support. I know it's well past the time to get my butt in gear drop some serious weight and get my health improved, blood sugar down, get off meds all the familiar goals. CarbManager on iFone is one of the higher rated management apps as is KETO, both allow you to input meals and track your carbs/sugar intake, they are free and they have a pay component that opens up more options. Since Keto keeps coming up as an efficient way to accomplish my goals that's my current thinking. I figure the big issue is learning to buy the right foods and then how to prepare things that will taste good, even with cauliflower rice. Found a 28 day Keto Meal plan online from the Keto Facebook page, has anyone used this, considering purchase, since it would provide some starting points recipe wise. Link 28 Day Keto Meal Plan So if you're interested, are on Keto diets, or are a board certified Keto Nutritionist, this thread is for getting as much information shared on how to succeed and support. | ||

You can still come to the pancake breakfast at the airport on July 13, just bypass the pancakes and stick with the bacon. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

I did it last year, had good success and lost some serious weight, but had terrible cramps (legs, jaw, diaphragm) and had to quit. I took several supplements and nothing helped. | |||

I did it in 2018 had good success. But I started to cheat during a long period of stressful work environment and I put weight back on. I am starting back up again by cutting out sugar. ------------------------------ Smart is not something you are but something you get. Chi Chi, get the yayo | |||

Keto - short for the medical condition ketosis - is a way to lose weight but it's not sustainable or the lifestyle change people need as part of a healthy living. Instead, something like Weight Watchers is lifestyle change where you get to eat whatever you want so long as you don't exceed your daily point total. Keto is all the rage these days, just like many other similar fads but you need a lifestyle change for the balance of your life. | |||

Anything that has the word "Diet" attached is sure to fail in the long run. My BIL has been doing the Keto thing for 2 years now and lost a lot of weight but has tired of it recently and is starting to slip back into his previous ways. If you ask me, it's just just a repackaged Atkins Diet which was all the rage circa 2002-2005 IIRC. | |||

Easier would be to eat most of your calories in the morning or mid day. Calories consumed at night are primarily converted to stored fat. Reduce carbs overall to a max of 20% of your diet, 10% would be even better. This is sustainable and effective. -c1steve | |||

I've been doing 'keto' since January 2018. I'm down 135lbs. Its not really hardcore keto and I've stopped referring to myself as being in keto. I just tell people that magically if you stop eating junk, you lose weight. I tried doing all the keto planning, special keto recipes to mimic normal dishes. It was okay but got boring and tedious pretty quickly. Its about divorcing pleasure from food. Eat to live, don't live to eat. You can still enjoy food and I do and I love grilling and smoking meat but the days of me pounding candy during/after a stressful day are gone. Here's what I did: Skip breakfast Eat salad for lunch Eat meat and veggies for supper Snack on almonds, quest bars, homemade beef jerky occasionally Its really as simple as that. I do not have a cheat day. The closest I come to cheating is I eat sushi rarely. That's my 'cheat meal' and it works great cause it's still healthy and not something you can just eat tons of. Drink lots and lots of water. I drink 2.5L of seltzer every day at minimum. | |||

When I did Atkins back in 2003, I went from 330 to 220 in 4 months. I only did phase 1 (which is essentially a keto diet) and exercise. The thing about the Atkins diet was that you weren't/aren't suppose to stay on the first phase forever, you slowly reintroduce good carbs, if you read the book it is teaching you how to change your lifestyle diet. From 2014-2017 I went from about 240 to 320 again. My GF started WW's in Jan 2018 and she pushed me to join, I did as a way to help her. Doing WW's I went from 320 to 245 from Jan to Nov. I fell off the wagon at the end of Oct and put on about 35lbs when I caught myself and started to get back on track. I cancelled WW's because it was $20/month and all I was using was the app. I found another app (itrackbites) that is $36/year and it is almost identical to the WW's app, it also has more than just one plan available and they are all modeled after WW's current and old plans. The upside to WW's is that it helps you change your lifestyle diet because you can still eat the foods you want you just need to adjust the quantity and frequency in which you eat them. I will say that when I was doing the keto phase of Atkins I never felt better. But I just like bread and beer too much to flat out give it up forever. | |||

I'm on day 9 of MediFast's 30 day plan and I've already lost 11 pounds! I know most of it is probably water weight at this point, but still... The food-in-a-box ranges from "ick" to "pretty darned good" with the majority being tolerable. Their "taste of home" meals (or whatever they call them) are slightly better than airline/hospital food. I haven't had carb cravings yet and I'm not hungry. I think I can keep this up for another 21 days and I'm pretty sure I'm going to try to stay in ketosis as long as I can on a modified keto diet. I'm planning on being a carb-nazi during the week and allowing myself a little more flexibility during the weekends. Mission BBQ is going to see a lot more of me... and a lot less of me if things go to plan. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

Im down 30 lbs since march on keto, it works but Ive kinda hit a stall this month. Ive read you will hit periods where your weight will stabilize for a month or so. This weight loss was with no exercise other than daily activities and a handful of cheat meals. "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them." - John Wayne in "The Shootist" | |||

Welcome to the 1970's. Keto/LCHF is very sustainable. There is nothing missing if done correctly with whole foods. Weight Watchers is based on lowering the amount of garbage you eat. Healthy Clean Keto is removing the garbage you eat. ----------------------------------------------------------- TCB all the time... | |||

Never saw the long term benefit to Keto. Lifestyle change is what is needed. Eat the correct portions and caloric intake. No big meals, and no crap food. Exercise. Diets are fads that never last. Whole scale lifestyle change is the permanent solution. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Ok, Ive lost 55 lbs doing Keto and really not exercising. I have been having a house built and 2 kids on 2 different baseball teams. No time really. But let me tell you about before when I was calorie restricted, riding my bike 75-100 miles a week and not losing a pound. Nothing I did was able to knock off more than a couple of pounds then nothing. last year my brother was undergoing a clinical trial for stage 4 Renal Cell Carcinoma. Therapeutic Ketosis along with Keytruda/IL2 cycles. Made him feel good so I tried it and lost some weight quickly. I nervously asked my doc about it because I was prediabetic, high blood pressure, high cholesterol etc. He said go for it. Next appointment, lost 40 pounds, blood sugar was excellent, cholesterol was better, blood pressure started coming down. It is not only sustainable, it has almost a 100% cure rate for T2 diabetes. Some people have issues because they do it wrong. It's not repackaged Atkins. It is intellectually dishonest to say it is. ----------------------------------------------------------- TCB all the time... | |||

Coworker has been at it for over a year. Workout 5 days/week & keeps a pretty strict diet. Dropped from something like 295 to 210. Toss in a cheat day from time to time. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

This is really good advice. Every 7-10 days I give myself an "anything I want" day, which takes care of any cravings I may have. Next day I'm more than ready to get strict again. "I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left." | |||
