To ask about your keto experiences?

[JalapenoDave]

Not an AIBU but usually guaranteed some pretty honest opinions on here!
Been doing keto diet for 2 weeks and I've only lost 3lbs so far. I am not eating any carbs, I'm being pretty on it I think.
Anyone else on here tried keto diet? AIBU to expect a massive weight loss in a couple of weeks?
If it makes any difference I am just under 5ft 7 and weight 12st 8lbs (after the 3lb loss). Overweight I know

Im nearly 12 stone... my uniform does not accommodate 12 stone... so ... I'm giving this a go ladies 🎉

It varies so much depending on what your diet was like beforehand, how much weight you have to lose and your own metabolism. Plus whether you are drinking any alcohol, which will impede weight loss.

I've never been one of those who lost massively in the first week, but over 18 months I've lost 3 stone and reduced my high blood pressure to a level where I no longer have to take medication. I put on 20 pounds during lockdown so I'm back on it again now.

I've followed a keto diet on my own but I'm another who recommends low carb bootcamp threads. They give lots of ideas for meals, huge support and motivation when weight loss is going slowly, and a bit of a kick when you're going off plan. Plus, there's no obsessive weighing and counting, and I think it is a really healthy and sustainable way of eating for the long term with lots of salad, veg, and very little processed food.

twentybloodypounds that is brilliant 🌺
