Who's starting with me tomorrow?!
I lost 20kg last year and felt amazing health benefits very quickly.
Fair bit of weight gain over the last 6 months unfortunately, due to stress, but am so ready to feel good again so I'm back in the game tomorrow.

Hi @Itsketotime how is it going?

I'm doing lazy and dirty Keto, so not following the boot camp or anything as I can't afford it and not obsessively tracking macros because it's bad for my mental health.
Got some Keto test strips in the post today and I am in Ketosis now. I'm a geek for any kind of home testing kit but not going to do it a lot just wanted to do it today for curiosity and reassurance.
Feel really calm but also a bit low energy. So like I'm not stressed about anything but also not overly motivated to do anything. I do have a virus/flu anyway though. I decidd if I was going to get the Keto flu then why not do it whilst being home sick anyway.

My appetite has already shrunk. I ordered some Keto fake cake/cookie type stuff for cravings on Monday, now I don't even feel like it just had some Fage 5% yogurt instead with a little bit of liquid vanilla stevia for my sweet treat.

Having chicken wings for dinner, going to have with some greens and mayonnaise. I am a mayo addict at the best of times. I have been having a lot of meat, greens, full fat dairy (especially Gouda), olives and avocados.

Ive done Keto before but always followed a more rigid plan and rebelled. This time it's been easier because I've just been counting net carbs, and having things like burger with mustard and American cheese (lettuce as a bun) yesterday, shop bought guacamole instead of homemade and cold cuts. Including dairy and a little sweetener helps me, though I do hope to quit the sweetener and just have the Full fat Greek yoghurt eventually.

What plan are you following?

What do I Eat and Avoid on the Ketogenic Diet: A Complete Food List and 7-Day Sample Menu That is simply my aspect of the battle while following keto. You'll probably likewise see different secondary effects, particularly in the initial not many weeks, like migraines, weariness, and tiredness - all indications of the alleged keto influenza. My eating plan began not long before Halloween - an occasion that is customarily free rule for me to take sugar from my own children’s plunder. Four sweets loaded gatherings hinted at the real going house to house asking for sweets, every one of them bountiful with carb sources. I had none of it. It felt both astounding and engaging. In any event, during the intense few days, I understood I could surrender all sugar and be okay. Maybe this was probably the best after effect of attempting the diet.
