[quote=Anonymous]I have lost about 15 lbs in one month. I like Keto but I think its a little harder to get the hang of and not fall off. I did stall after the first two weeks but then a week later dropped another 3-4 lbs.

I love loosing the water weight and bloat. I felt puffy before and feel so much better without the extra water. My joints feel better and I am much more active without the achy/creakiness. I only really miss a few foods (fish and chips, beer, and pizza). I never craved sugar but I did crave Diet Coke. I used to be seriously addicted to Diet Coke and those cravings have gone away. When I ate carbs I was usually hungry later on. I am seldom hungry now even though I am eating less food.

Here is what is working so far for me.

1. Carbs add up even with keto approved foods. I think you have to really embrace when your appetite declines and eat less food. I'll eat a huge strawberry but not feel compelled to eat the entire basket. Here's a good tip. Drink a glass of water. Eat one and then put them away. Drink another  large glass of water. If you really want another one, get it but you probably won't.

2. Don't overdo it on the protein or the cheese. If I eat a lot of steak, I'll make sure to eat an avocado.

3. Its easier if you cook from scratch. Most family friendly recipes can be adapted and you just don't eat the tortilla, rice or pasta that everyone else does.

4. This seems to be a good diet to get back into exercises, especially small weight lifting or swimming. You're eating a lot of protein, have more energy and I seem to be getting toned faster than normal.

5. I stopped doing the Keto coffee or adding MCT oil to things. It seems like extra calories. I do add olive oil to things like tomatoes, zucchini, spinach etc.

6. I found beer with only 2-3 grams of carbs.
