Any other keto brides to be out there?

I've been following keto for about a year and a half now I absolutely love it! I'm down 53 pounds in total, but I definitely don't follow as strictly as I could.

View Quoted Comment You look fantastic! I also think I will transition from keto proper to low carb at some point, because I would like to weight train a bit.

My brother has been doing Keto for about a year he is down 74lbs, but not without health issues. He has super high cholesterol and is now having testing done on his heart. Please be careful with any diet you try and seek a physician before starting any diet.

For weight training, you can do 5 days of Keto and 2 days of high carbs. That is what I did when I was doing keto diet and weight training.

Right now I'm trying my best to do low carb. I think I want to start keto though.

I've been off and on for a year or so (off/low carb for the holidays/2 week vacation) and just got back on strictly for the final 3 weeks before the wedding. I do really love it. I feel better about myself, have more energy, and feel less guilty about what I eat. I also love to cook so it works great for me. My FH just gets annoyed because I can't eat Chinese or Thai food in restaurants anymore which really annoys him haha

View Quoted Comment Good point, I will definitely be discussing thus with my primary care.

Keto is life! It's definitely the best diet to shed pounds quick and get off the carb addiction! And who doesn't love eating FAT!?

I'm a nutritionist and there are actually a lot of myths about interpreting cholesterol levels and how inaccurate they are at predicting heart disease. The most important number is the HDL (good cholesterol, if this is high then that's the best predictor the diet is having a positive benefit). Read (get it on audiobook) "Cholesterol Clarity" for a great explanation on this!

I'm doing it untill my dress fitting April 27th. I was doing great but off a bit this week.i am so busy it's sometimes hard to even eat. My fiance is sweet making me foods I am suppose to eat when he sees I am not eating.this week I'm adding p90x again when we are not at dance class

Started the Keto diet two weeks before Thanksgiving 2017 @ 137 lbs.. Fast forward to 23 weeks later, I am now at 121 lbs. and have been able to maintain this weight but I have not only dieted, I've also been doing cardio and weightlifting 5x a week. I also watch my macros and read every nutritional label prior to consuming. I believe keto has helped me tremendously though....

There may be weeks that you start to doubt whether its working or not but trust me, it will pay off!! I had weeks where I weight plateaued but I didn't let it get me down.

I've been doing keto for about a week and half now. I lost 5.2 lbs so far. I realize some of that is water weight and won't keep up that pace every week, but it feels good to have success when you're starting out. Aside from the weight loss which is encouraging, I have to say I'm way more satisfied with what I'm eating now than I was when I was just tracking calories and struggling to lose 1/2 a pound in a week even with exercising most days. The food I was eating didn't change my cravings because it was unsatisfying and I cheated often. I have not had cheating guilt once over the last week because I haven't wanted to cheat! I thought giving up carbs like bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, etc would be way harder than it has been. I really don't even miss them when I get to eat a ton of other things I really like. I'm a little nervous about going out of town this weekend since I've been able to have such control over my food at home, but I just have to remember all of my research and do the best I can eating out and keep it simple with my choices, eggs and bacon at breakfast, burger no bun or condiments, bring my own snacks, etc.

I have been following keto since 12/1/17 and I have pretty much stayed the exact same weight. I can lose 2 pounds 1 week and then gain them back the next and this has been going on the past 6 months while exercising 3-4 times a week with a mix of cardio and weight training. Sometimes not every diet works for everyone. I see the success stories everywhere except in the mirror. I am now going to attempt carnivore, which doesn't allow any carbs even from plants/vegetables, only meat and dairy. It's been a long hard road up to this point, and to think I started back in December to have plenty of time to lose the weight before my wedding this September... and I have plenty to lose.
