I’ve been on a Keto diet for 7 weeks and I’ve lost 40Ibs ! It has changed my life. I used to suffer with multiple skin conditions (eczema and dermatitis) and bad headaches (around 5 times a week- I was taking medication to combat these). I had blood tests and many visits to doctors but couldn’t work out the source of my headaches. Since ketosis I have stopped taking my medication and (once in ketosis as the first few days are prone to giving you headaches) I have not experienced a single one. The condition of my skin has also cleared. I no longer experience ANY of my previous issues. I NEVER would have guessed that all of my problems were down to my diet. My weight loss goal is large and I have a lot to lose. I am about 25% through it, but I can honestly say ketosis is the best decision of my life.

Have been on Keto for about 5 months and have lost 27lbs which is great but not the main reason that I love the Keto lifestyle. What has been the best side effect for me is the "calming of my brain." I have dealt with depression and anxiety since I was 12 and this diet works better than any anti-depressant I have ever tried (and I have tried tons). Over the holidays I overdid the carbs and woke up one morning with the familiar feelings of depression and despair. That was enough to get me back on the keto bus and within 3 days my mood started to improve and everything was not so dark and scary.

[@agon1963]

I started keto on Dec 26 2018. Down about 11 lbs. I stopped my statins and cut my thyroid meds in 1/2. Saw my doctor last week then did lab work. Now my doctor wants to see me soon to talk about cholesterol and thyroid. This is the 1st time in about 12 years that my muscles and joints haven't ached. I sleep better, have better focus and I'm hardly ever hungry. I don't crave junk food. My portion size has decreased and down to one meal a day with almost no snacking. When I get the hunger pangs, I drink a little water and they go away. I've had one migraine but I think that might have been caused by dehydration. I'm never going back to my old eating habits.

[@cristinab.9494]

It's been 2 weeks since I started this diet (which I like to call lifestyle) but I don't have any of this problems, except for the smelly pee. I've noticed that I'm more focused, energetic and I'm less hungry. During my high carb lifestyle I was always tired, irritable and always craving for more food. Now I don't even miss all the sugary stuff I used to eat before, and I'm more relaxed and happy. Also my sleep improved. Before I had problems falling asleep but now after five minutes I'm in Dreamland. This kind of lifestyle saved me from diabete (Sorry for my English, I'm italian)

[@melanydabney5734]

I noticed that the main problem many people who try Keto have is that they don’t have a step by step action plan, what foods to eat, what to avoid, amount of carbs allowed, etc. You may have a clearly goal in mind but if you don’t follow a plan it is likely that you will fail. That’s why is very important to follow a program that can get you through your first month, because believe me, that’s the toughest one!! But if you can make it through that first month, after that it becomes so much easier.

I agree with you Melany Saturday was my 6th attempt at it. I failed by end of day 2 mostly. Then I realized I needed to draft a plan and boy am I excited. First I got the app Carb Manager, second I researched A) What I should eat B) Alternative for what I love to eat ( pork rinds for chips sugar free werthels candy) 3) I went shopping for a month's worth of food going places like dollar Tree to stay within my budget 4) Before I eat ANYTHING, I put in my app what I will eat per meal PLUS Snacks PLUS spices Finally 5) I set a date for when I want ro check my weight loss. I know I'm only at the start but I already know I'll be ok and pull through this time!!! A program is EVERYTHING.

So I started the minute I walked out of his office. Last week was hard trying to find foods I already had at home to eat, but I was able to find a 5 day easy Keto soup diet that I could stick to. That has given me a few days to research and find recipes my family will eat. I am down 6 pounds as of yesterday. I'm really excited about this life change. Thanks for the video. It was helpful.

I've started my keto diet last week and already seen some slight weight loss. Long story short, about 8 years ago, I started on a standard diet and by 8 months, I lost a lot of weight, going from 182 down to 160 lbs. But unfortunately, a duration of a couple years after 2013, I gained it back plus extra more pounds and gained high blood pressure, which is beyond awful. Fast forward to present day, Oct. 2019, I started out at 196 lbs. and as of today, I am down at 189.2 lbs within a week. I have noticed the small changes and happy that I don't feel as full or icky as if on a regular diet involving the bad carbs like bread, potatoes, pasta, cereal, etc. In fact, I'm starting to feel that I don't need sugar or any starchy carbs whatsoever. I'm still gonna keep it up. The coolest thing about the keto diet that I have noticed is how fast you lose the weight compared to your standard diet / weight loss.

[@GameChanger597]

Keto breath means you're eating too much protein. You only need 4 to 8 oz of protein per meal on this diet or else you will get keto breath. More than 8 oz is too much. Your body will actually turn excess protein into sugar. Headaches and flu symptoms are actually caused by not enough salt or too much water that flushes out the salt. It's unfortunate she doesn't know this and therefore can't even tell her audience this isn't normal and actually signals a problem. Some people can get into ketosis within one day but people with a very slow metabolism can take a week. The average is 2-3 days.

A really great way to get into Ketosis really quickly is by going on a One Keto Meal A Day diet. Intermittent fasting has been proven to regulate hormones, deplete glycogen stores over the span of 12-24 hours (depends how much is stored) and significantly increases human growth hormone production by up to 2000% for males and 1300% for females. Exercising also depletes glycogen stores. If you do about 45 minutes of resistance training you'll deplete glycogen in your muscles. Fasting for a good 18 hours will deplete liver glycogen stores and is a great way to start your keto journey. I wish everyone good health, longevity, and prosperity.

Keto for about 20 weeks, as well as some form of IF, been doing OMAD for about 2 months. I used to sleep like 9 hours a night and often wake up groggy and confused. I'd also get sleepy in the early afternoon and sometimes take a nap. Now, I sleep 6-7 hours per night and never get sleepy during the day. Oh, and I don't have to get up and pee during the night like I used to. Before keto I would stop drinking fluids 2-3+ hours before going to bed and still have to get up and urinate once or twice during the night. One drawback (if you can call it that) is I have to keep a vigilant eye on my sodium intake. If I don't get enough sodium, I will quickly feel it when I exercise. First, my shoulders start to ache, then I get out of breath with minimal effort. So, I measure out 1 tablespoon of kosher salt each morning and consume it throughout the day: 1/4 teaspoon per 16oz tumbler, 1 teaspoon in my one meal.

I eat very clean and was eating no more than 20 total carbs per day, but now I'm in maintenance and allow myself up to 30 total carbs per day. A few days I've gone over that and ended up bloated and miserable, so I think 30 total carbs is my maintenance number. I have never checked my blood sugars or ketones since starting.

Thanks for your nice video Tara. I am 70 and have been on a ketogenic diet for 3 1/2 weeks. I started because my energy has been flagging, my fasting blood sugar is 106 and my inflammatory markers are on the edge. I have always been mildly hypertensive. I have still mild COPD(4 years) as part of a family genetic disease, and I want to see if that improves on the new diet. I am not in keto to lose weight. I've always been pretty lean. I already feel stronger and more stable on my feet. Mentally, keto diet has both positives and negatives. I can focus better doing card games, and solving measurement problems in carpentry, but I'm also a little foggy or fuzzy most of the time. I've had mild ketoflu with some diarrhea, but that seems to have gone away. Overall I feel better and less ravenous. I have a drink (tequila and squeezed straight lime juice) once a week rather than daily, and don't plan to give that up. I plan to keep watching you for awhile.
