Keto-Noob! So far so good!

[Victoria_Mom_of_4_on]

Hi I’m new! So I accidently started IF (because of a busy schedule ) and stumbled across a man by the name of Dr. Berg on YouTube. It was the first time I’ve even heard about Keto diet and Intermittent fasting together. So I thought, what the heck, I may as well try it. I already eat pretty much once a day anyway. So I began a no sugar, low carb diet, high fat diet and went and bought some healthy minerals, electrolytes and better vitamins, and I gotta say, I can live with this it’s been 4 days and I’ve already lost 3lbs. I’m still learning a lot. My main question is, how do I get 1200 calories into one meal? I usually end up closer to 800 and feel satisfied. Should I be pushing to eat the other 400 or leave it? I mean, I’m losing weight and don’t feel sluggish or anything…anyone else dealt with this before?

First of all Welcome​:tada:

Other than just 4 days in…it may be just water weight
And 800 calories may not be enough food
In addition looks more like a CICO

W that said, I will leave others here to chime in W more details

Again, welcome in!

Good Luck

thanks. I hope it’s more than water weight lol. I already had a fairly good diet, except I ate way more carbs before. I always drank tons of lemon water and ACV as well. I’m pretty small (short and sassy lol) and am hoping to only lose maybe 15-20 lbs.

These are some of the best threads to follow

What did you Keto today?

We had thread on the FB page that was great. @carolT suggested that we start one here. We often get a lot of stick from friends, family, strangers about what we eat - or what they think we eat! So how about putting up some pics of what you ate today? Or what you would eat on a typical day. And yes throw in any BPCs and fat bombs that you have had too! Seeing as I started this topic and have yet to post what I have eaten I am editing to show you my dinner tonight! Slow-roasted lamb with herby c…

What has keto done for you? And others? I need your list!

Any of you guys ever see a list of all the different things that the Ketogenic diet can help with? We know obesity, type 2 diabetes, mental health issues, arthritis, inflammation, pain. Of course most diseases are caused by inflammation. I’ve heard of people’s eyesight improving I’ve heard of sleep improving… a lot of the diseases of the digestive system such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, anything I’m missing? Give me your list!
