[quote=Anonymous]I started keto in August 2016 and have lost 65 lbs.  After the first 6 months, the weight loss has been slow, but still a few pounds a month.  After a lifetime of very low calories and clean eating without much success, keto feels like a miracle.  Yes, you have to be organized and plan ahead, but I'm almost never hungry, have lots of energy, am energized by exercise instead of drained and find it relatively easy to find what I need on menus when I go out if creative and willing to ask.  I no longer see it as a diet, but rather the way I've decided to eat for life.  I was diagnosed with celiac about 30 years ago, so have been gluten free all of that time.  Also allergic to dairy and eggs, but keto is still possible. There are a couple of closed Facebook groups with good information. One is Optimal ketogenic living. It recommends  is a higher protein, slightly lower fat version.  This is what I have followed. There is research being done on keto as a treatment for the fat disorder lipedema, so several groups for that as well. Lipedema and keto, I believe has links to coaches that you can work with to get started.  In the beginning, I had to add salt to my diet to avoid being lightheaded, but then never got what is described as the "keto flu".  Good luck if you decide to try it. [/quote]
