Great job! I started the same lifestyle change on July 2nd and I've lost almost 13 1/2 lbs. A few blips here and there but usually all down. Like you, my cravings are gone, and yes I've missed a few meals. I was beginning to think I'd never be able to lose weight but the LCHF/KETO is really beginning to change my life. New pant size any day now!

I'm doing the same thing...down about 9 lbs. I usually have no money for groceries, so it's hard, but hanging in.:)

Fantastic buddy - Keto rocks!

Yes, energy! I would always try to find a chair while I'm talking to someone at work, but now, I don't even realize I've been standing for a long time. I have tons more energy than just a month ago. And hunger, I think think I've eaten today and it is almost 3pm. I did eat half a meatza last night though.

Seems kinda weird for it to itch. Maybe I'm crazy. I don't know.

Nice work, keto gets easier the longer you do it.

Yes, sir. You've got the program down. Keep an eye on electrolytes, and add salt.

Everyone says add salt. Why is that? I have cut my BP meds in half which is why I've always been told to avoid salt. I am gradually re-introducing salt back into my diet.

Electrolytes would be something I need to look out for. I was hospitalized when in the military for getting dehydrated for 3 days when I was in the desert. I do not do well in heat. I don't sweat enough.

When my electrolytes are off from fasting, I know it. I get faint and nauseated. I drink water or something and add salts to it. - A product called SaltStick that I learned about here from Phil. It perks me right up!

Keto is naturally diuretic, and leeches salt from the kidneys. Get some Himalayan Pink Salt, and add it to everything. It has loads of trace minerals. BP will naturally equalize with keto, as hormones stabilize. Drink to thirst, but don't force water. It will take electrolytes out of your system. It's also good to supplement Magnesium Malate, as that's a mineral that is hard to get on LCHF.

Thanks! Actually I made a low carb Margarita last night with Himalayan Pink Salt! It was good. 100% Agave Tequilla, Lime juice, and in place of Triplesec I used a little orange extract. I also recently started taking a magnesium powder to get my magnesium. It is important for absorption of other minerals and vitamins.
