[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just started keto with intermittent fasting. Losing weight but more importantly getting a better idea of my relationships with food. Tracking calories and macros and seeing how my body feels with different food combinations has been invaluable. I’m eating way more veggies and being more thoughtful with proteins.  Exercise is happening more spontaneously as I just feel better. For me lower carbs means less inflammation and fewer reactions with food intolerances. It’s been really helpful in gut healing. My skin is brighter and mood is improved. Bone or veggie broth are my favorite ways to break the fast. I eat small amounts of dairy but not daily.

It’s worth trying. Get a kitchen scale and use a macro tracker for sure. Learn how to combine foods and understand net carbs. [/quote]

How are you tracking your macros? Electronically or manually? [/quote]

I use myfitnesspal ( the “premium” paid version), even though it’s a little rough. I’m not being super exact so it suits my purpose. You’ll need to really keep an eye on the nutrient information though,  not all of it is entered accurately and when you eat out or cook you’ll need to create a recipe.  I’m sure others with more experience have better specific advice. There are more intensive trackers out there, and if you’re  mathy you can really go down that rabbit hole.  But as a newbie that’s not hyper focused,  my fitness pal is working just fine to keep me organized.

When I set up my macros and a weight loss goal it set my calorie threshold. As another poster keeps remarking, calorie deficit is a piece of it. I reduced my overall daily calories in addition to following a keto ratio. For intermittent fasting I like the Zero timer app [/quote]
