Newbie —> Old-Timer

How do you define when a Newbie graduates to being an Old-Timer or Keto Veteran?

I personally prefer self experimenter (sounds less douchey than biohacker) :grin:

When would you say a newbie becomes a veteran?

(Lonnie Hedley) #4

I think these terms should be self assigned if you want to put labels on yourself.

Veteran - a person who has had long experience in a particular field.

How long is “long” when doing Keto? I’m creeping on two years of of some form of low carb lifestyle. I’ve maintained my weight for over a year. I feel I have it figured out for me, but that doesn’t keep me from continuing to read up on new science and ideas.

Hmmm… This is the end of my 15th week on Keto
I started last year in September but bombed out.
I began researching in probably July of last year, and have basically lived on this board since April.
I’ve learnt a lot, my knowledge has increased shitload, but I’d still consider myself a beginner, I cherry pick the information to tailor me.
Although I read every single new post, anything related to diabetes or whatever I have trouble understanding because I just have no experience in it.
So I’d say I’m more intermediate regarding weight loss, but anything regarding health issues and ailments I’m a total beginner and will probably always will be until I experience once of those issues.
