Hey all! I'm back. Got off keto to switch to calorie counting and more carbs after my birthday and never could get back on track afterwards. I'm back on keto for 3 days now along with intermittent fasting (eating between 12pm-8pm) and I feel better again.

I noticed that I was aching more, craving more carbs and sweets, and never really feeling full even though I was eating the same amount of calories. I actually gained weight so decided to go back to keto even though my weight loss had slowed down a lot. This time though, I changed the macro ratios to allow a little more carbs and protein based on my lean body mass instead of the generic 70% fat, 25% protein, and 5% carbs.

Now I just need to get my exercise back on track and I'm good. Got some catching up to do though as I basically lost 2 weeks and round 2 due to the switch. Hopefully the changes I made this time will rev up the weight loss.

Hi there! It seems that the app has updated!! I can't find the Weigh-in section of this new set up :/ Just wanted to make sure we still have like 48 hrs to weigh in?

i did my official weekly weigh in on Sunday and was disappointed by the minimal loss. I weighed myself this morning and i've nearly hit my 2nd month's goal! I've dieted and exercised many many many times in my life. This is the FIRST TIME it has worked. I am doing intermittent fasting 18:6 and the results are AMAZING!!!!

My biggest hurdle is my sweet cravings at night. Any suggestions for sweet treats that won’t mess with my goals? (Keep in mind that I have an infant so don’t have any meal prep time)

I cannot tell you how much I am loving and recommending keto. I met my 10% goal for this transformer just over 2 months in. Had to start another transformer then just to motivate me to keep going rather than just going into maintenance mode! I am happy to give any tips or answer any questions if any! 4 montha ago I was skeptical of this diet but my experience has convinced me.

I ate way too much today. It was delicious.

Super stressful time at work these next two weeks and I am fighting the stress eating urges. Anyone have any suggestions?

Was a bit off goal this round, so now I'm 102hrs into a 144hr fast and feeling great!! Hopefully I can catch up in time!!

Ugh! I was doing so well and then ate a lot more than usual, including carrot cake on Mother's Day. My kids came over and we did a ton of work outside and I know I am retaining water from just over doing it. Even worse, I didn't drink enough water. Anyway, lets just say that when I weighed in this morning I was floored at how much I gained! Not sure I can make this month's goal after this back slide but I am sure going to try. I meal prepped today so that will help some.

I like to experiment with fad diets for a few weeks at a time, maybe a month if it’s going well, something along the lines of don’t knock it until you try it (and I usually end up knocking it afterwards). They’re always intended to be short-term, although I suppose if I found one that worked for me longer term I would be receptive to it.

I gave keto a try starting in the beginning of May. It’s definitely not for me. The thought of eating now makes me nausested. I’m not sure if I can ever eat chicken again! I’m not craving any carbs, so the natural implication of this is that I’m just not eating very much. I’ve never loved meat or eaten that much of it, so this isn’t surprising to me.

The silver lining of this is that I’ve lost almost six pounds since the beginning of May. But I think I’m going to leap out of Ketosis after the two week mark and just go back to consciously limiting carbs rather than trying to eliminate them.

I have found a lot more respect for people who can stick to this diet!
