It took him about 7 months to lose the weight, and he's currently maintaining. One side note... his weight loss is just diet only. </p> <p>I follow a low carb diet, and it helps me maintain my weight. Not as strict as keto, and I still get to enjoy the foods I like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-done-a-keto-diet#post-2734586 Thu, 11 May 2017 13:12:18 +0000 Anagram 2734586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done it several times in my life, most recently in January for 5 weeks straight, not one cheat. HOWEVER, I didn't realize that I apparently have an autoimmune disease (just found out after exhaustive testing), and my January keto cycle was a total, utter fail. Probably because my body is out of wack. I have the keto strips at home, so I know I was in ketosis, but in the first 4 weeks of following it, I only lost 2 lbs (frustrating!), and I felt sick AF. Since basically, I was eating meats, salad vegetables, things like broccoli in limited supply, and a ton of sugar-free dairy like cheese, I was just feeling sick to my stomach, sluggish, constipated, the works. It is also *way harder* to do any kind of aerobic exercise when you are doing keto, and I get dizzy easily, get exhausted quickly, etc.</p> <p>It has worked for me in the past to lose a quick 10 lbs, but it isn't working for my body these days. So now I'm trying Whole30 which is more healthy foods and not just focused on losing weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-done-a-keto-diet#post-2734580 Thu, 11 May 2017 13:07:50 +0000 mrsmbeegee 2734580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I completely agree with PP. I've been Keto since November and I love it for the exact same reasons mentioned above. The first a couple weeks are the hardest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-done-a-keto-diet#post-2734254 Thu, 11 May 2017 08:05:16 +0000 MelisMc 2734254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was doing a keto diet until I got pregnant last September. I still try to eat fairly low carb now, though. I love it. I do think that when you're new to it, you may experience the "keto flu" where you feel sluggish and out of sorts for a few days. But after that, it's pretty amazing. So much more energy, I sleep better, I don't have cravings, etc. I could go on and on... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-done-a-keto-diet#post-2734248 Thu, 11 May 2017 07:46:57 +0000 Mamaof2 2734248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend started a group on FB that I joined.</p> <p>I don't need to lose lbs but I would like to lose a few inches and I feel like I am bloated all the time!</p> <p>I started Monday and its HARD for me to do - I didn't realize how many things have carbs.</p> <p>I also really miss big bowls of fruit and oatmeal.</p> <p>I am working out and it was ok until yesterday - I barely had any energy - today I had 1/2 a banana and hoping that helps with energy for my workout.</p> <p>I am only doing this for 2 weeks then I go on vacation and well... all bets are off - haha</p> <p>What has been your experience with it?</p> <p>Note: Its been 3 full days and I will say my stomach was much flatter at bedtime last night - usually by the end of the day its bloated - so that's a plus! </p>
