Looking for keto pals also a month in

Scott, congratulations! And it’s helpful to read about your timeline.

I had a series of OUT of ketosis days last week and into Saturday. It was like one deadline/event after another and I couldn’t catch my breath and focus on food. Keto is not yet a way of life for me. I want it to be! But when I’m overwhelmed, I fall into old patterns.

Good news is that I’m back in! It took 48 hours of diligence. Honestly, those 2 days were every bit as hard as they were the first time around. The good news is that the 2 days since then have been exceptionally easy. Easier than before. It’s so nice to have my keto-energy back.

I noticed I’ve been waking up earlier, and actually feeling more awake, but I also have a really bad headache and feel super dehydrated in the morning (even though I’ve drunk a fair bit of water the night before), do you get that?

#124

I woke up with a headache both days last weekend but I am pretty sure it had more to do with shark week. So I have not really experienced the same problem :frowning:. I have been backing off the salt a bit as I have been feeling dehydrated even though i drink a ton of water. I hope you figure it out.

Ditto with the headache and tomorrow is the first day of my 8th week. I’ve had a monster headache the last two days I can’t shake, it’s also shark week so I’m guessing it’s related. Still, beats all the other pms symptoms that I have not had

@Hapygirl & @kiwado, my sympathies to you both. So very glad I don’t have to deal w/ that any more!

Yes! I started on July 2nd. Very excited about my new lifestyle and hoping it’ll bring health and weight loss! But sometimes I feel restricted, isolated or bored. Weight loss have been up and down, mostly due to a Vitamin Water mistake (not zero!! 32 grams of sugar! Ugh). Would have liked to see more weight loss this month!
I would love to join a thread! :slight_smile:

It happens to most of us @SofieFoodie. I had a slight weak moment and ate pizza a few weeks after starting. Every day is a new day. Just move ahead and don’t worry about it too much :slight_smile:

I had to eat all my breakfast cereal in order to get it out of the house – Rice Chex, Cheerios and Nature Valley pumpkin flax granola!!! I didn’t eat it all in 1 go. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Hi - I started roughly a month ago too and I’ve been weight training as well. I typically eat a macro ratio of 72-75% fat, 20-25% protein and 5-9% carbs right at 1900 to 2000 calories a day. On my first week of Keto, I lost 6 lbs. Since then, I’ve been hovering between 245 - 250. Ive coupled Keto with intermittent fasting as well, so I can be 245 first thing in the am, 250 mid day and 245 the next morning. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong! Lol Someone help!

I’m 6’4 if that helps at all.

Just started last week, so I am really new. Still trying to figure everything out, I am using a tracker to manage my macros and that is really helping. I think before when “I tried” low carb I was eating too much protein and veggie carbs and not enough fat. That has been a bit of a surprise as I watch my macro numbers! Who knew! The good news is that I seem to be in Ketosis fairly steadily, but some days I am starving and other days I am challenging myself to eat my macros…boy those carbs go fast! Thanks for the post and thread!
