Thanks, Doug!!!

You give me hope! Thank you! I’m 10 weeks in and no weight loss at all (I dropped 2 pounds two weeks ago and gained them back the next week). When did you begin to loose weight? Do you still have a drink now and then?
Congratulations on your success!

Thank you, Ann! @74Ann How are you feeling 10 weeks in? Please don’t be discouraged… To answer your questions: I didn’t really weigh because it doesn’t work well for me. Stepping on the scale each day makes me judge my worth. I did, however, find a cardiologist and nurse nearby who are proponents of this lifestyle. It’s helpful to have a medical practitioner on your side. I definitely drink–club soda & vodka and red wine–but that’s probably part of the reason I don’t lose weight faster. Once you feel good with minimal carbs, you’ll want to keep feeling that way. Rooting for you!

Hi @Joanna11, thank you for your answer ! Ten weeks in I’m good, I feel a bit weak in the muscles sometimes, but I think the slow rythm of the winter is in part responsible for that. So are the antihistamine meds I take for hives (that’s why I do Keto and it is slightly better, I have to take 1 every 4 days instead of every 2 days, so that’s a light NSV :star_struck:). I’m not sure I’m fully adapted yet, but always peeing ketones. I’m in Belgium and it really is hard to find professionnals that are aware of Keto here… I put my mother on Keto too for her psoriasis and she already lost 10 pounds, so that gives me courage. I drink sparkling wine maybe one or two times a week. I just hope at least some weightloss will kick in at some point. Happy New Year :slight_smile:
