I Am On A Ketogenic Diet

One week. And either my scale is malfunctioning or I have lost significant weight.

I bought a small deep freeze and cooked about 30 keto appropriate meals and froze them. Now I will not have to shop or cook for another month. Since the temperature climbed to 112 degrees recently, and was 102 today, (I live in the desert) I will need to kick back and not go out much. I will be reading, resting, and swimming for a while.

If it turns out my scale isn't lying, this diet--or permanent lifestyle--will work very well for me.

@LadyGrace Thank you. I AM motivated. But I live in a fast food high fructose corn sugar food socializing diet hating world...and, so far, it has looked as if fat was a life sentence for me.

The significant weight loss you first experience on the Keto diet is water weight. There are Doctors and Science to prove the Keto lifestyle not diet works and is safe. Keep in mind the first 3 letters in the word Diet are "DIE". I just started on a modified Keto plan and haven't lost much yet, my girlfriend went on the keto plan several years ago and lost 70 pounds. She recommends it, but it is a hard lifestyle for an Italian woman.

@AlphaCuckTX Yes, I do understand you have to consider it as a lifetime way of eating. I guess I'm glad I'm not Italian!

@greenmountaingal I'm a physician. What are your qualifications?

greenmountaingal · 70-79, F

@unknownpoetx I'm struggling with my weight. Doctors seem to have different opinions about it. If you Google Keto diet Time magazine, there is an article summarizing the medical arguments on both sides.

Keto is the way to go

@ArianaRose25 The medical world, or at least the one at my HMO, warns me that it will kill me, give me a heart attack, destroy my kidneys and other internal organs etc. But, the way I look at it, so will that extra 100 lbs I'm carrying.
