Over how long?

Looking to just rehaul my eating habits and this seems the most sustainable option.

Am so fed up of being fat.

Two and a half stone, not sure how long it took. But I went to a wedding where the food was 'afternoon tea'. That knocked me off course and I never managed to sustain it again. I'm now my pre keto weight again.

It's very much a one time only thing. It works, but you must not fall off the wagon. Trying to get carb cravings under control second time round is really tough.

I've been doing a version of Keto (low carb, low refined sugar, 1300kcals a day) since January and I've lost 22kg.
Once I committed to the changes, the weight fell off. I've started to plateau a little now, with another 7kg to go to my goal weight, but I've been on two holidays in the last 6 weeks so I think that's knocked me off my track.

Hi OP, join the Keto UK Community on Facebook, and you’ll get a lot of support and motivation to get started 🙂

Four stone in three months and looking forward to going back to it when I've given birth. It's not all about the weight loss for me but how much better I feel. Feel miserable having to eat carbs during pregnancy. I found reddit community very helpful

2 stone in 4 months. Currently 32 weeks pregnant so off keto at the moment but dying to go back on after baby's born. I just felt so much healthier on it. Had loads more energy too.

1 stone in 4 weeks. Messed with my metabolism andIve since put 2 1/2 stone on and it won't shift. Instant results long term damage!

Wow Ilovelala

That's amazing.

Is that just normal keto. Not fasting or anything?

Yes but I also had a personal trainer. I lost 3 stone in a month with a combination of both of those things.

3 stone in 6 months, helped me conceive after 2 failed ivf attempts. Follow some keto pages on Instagram xxx

I’ve been doing it for 8 weeks and have lost 7kg so far. It really does work

ALittleBitofVitriol · 01/06/2019 12:19

Did it about 8 years ago and lost more than 3 stone. Kept it up for about a year, then had too much life chaos and went off. Weight came back.

Been on it again for a couple of months and lost over a stone.

Oh wow. I think I am going to look into this too.
