Is anyone on Keto?
Are you living the Keto lifestyle? How much have you lost in what period of time? Any interesting low carb recipes to share?

https://divaliciousrecipes.com/ this woman's website has some fabulous keto dishes or ideas. she has a facebook group too. i lost some weight on keto but my hair started falling out. maybe because i'm vegetarian idk. so i cant do keto for more than a few days at a time. i only lost about 15 pounds too in 2-3 months but slimmed down a lot as I started working out a lot too and gained a bunch of muscle. i liked doing keto. its too bad i cant do it all the time but my hair suffers. i like keto cause it makes you not hungry all the time after a day or two of doing it. and you can have like waffles and keto tacos.. the cauliflower vodka casserole is really good from the divalicious website, i also make it like that with zuchinni as well.

@Penny Hi Penney--Ive been on it 15 months--have lost 35 so not a ton--Ive been on a stall for 3 months but trying to hang in there. I love the lifestyle and have no problem no controlling what I eat--Your comment about hair loss interesteD me because about 2 months ago I noticed hair was coming out more than ushual when i combed it--I could feel it coming out at roots--like little stings--I dont kno why after a year that would happen other than I started intermittent fasting about 3 or 4 months ago--I am taking biotin by the mouthful--the hair thing started shortly after the stall and I started intermittent fasting. I have researeched it on here and they say it is normal and hair has seasons and if you are patient it will be ok. Im hoping this is true. How did you feel otheriwse? I have to pick up on carbs sometimes as I get sorta weak all over and know what it is--all and all im happy with it--its the hair thing that scares me-- it is brittle like--thanks for sharing---tell me more about hair--

@CheriVanilla someone told me you need to supplement with zinc on a keto diet. i started taking it and my hair stopped falling out so much. even grew back in some. big improvement at least. i would suggest getting some if you don't take it already. zinc and magnesium.
