I started Keto a week ago today. I’ve lost 2.5 pounds but haven’t really noticed a physical change yet other than NO bloating. It usually takes me 2-3 weeks to show the weight loss. Luckily I haven’t had any headaches, suffered with the “keto flu” or felt sluggishness. This app has really made a huge difference in keeping me within my macros and tracking all my #’s. . I’m also doing IF which doesn’t phase me because somehow I was naturally already fasting for as long as I could remember and not knowing it was “a thing”. BPC is awesome!!

Everyone sees different results at different paces. This depends on how much body fat you want and need to take off. And yes, that could be the keto flu for sure. Try to use keto flu remidies and not nsaids( ibuprofen,etc) to fight off the headaches as nsaids can be harsh for the kidneys. Push through it if you can with minerals, salts, broths, and rest when you can. I was a crank at the beginning.

madwolf74986e we all cope differently. I hope you can break through this stage! Rooting for you. I, too, started recently (restarted) and know your pain. Try to have “faith” in the biochemistry.. if you stick to the keto guidelines and take the suggestions here re keto flu your biochemistry WILL change. Switching from carb eating SAD to ketogenic diet requires a shift in gene expression and cell machinery which can make things seem slow... just work on cementing your new keto habits and dont focus on any numbers other than your macro %s. My coping mechanism is to learn as much as i can about insulin, ketosis, ive even reviewed the anatomy of our small intestines to understand the nuts and bolts...

billynn_staggs1432 Ketogenic is 20 net carbs max. The wheel on the app can help determine how much you eat, makes sure you choose the desired eating format” keto, low carb, etc.”. It will ask in your profile or somewhere in there your desired calories. This depends on how much fat you want to take off and how quickly. Play around with the options. I don’t recommend taking off weight to fast for anyone. Half pound weightloss per week is the lowest option available but that can be to fast for some. Read through posts here, you will find an enourmous amount of information. YouTube has great stuff for followers also. I just type my question I have at the top search space.

erikalambert63b047 You can actually put different fatty items in bpc, I chose heavy cream because coconut oils seem to upset me somehow. Heavy cream, little butter if you need it. I actually found better weight loss not having bpc in the morning, only if I’m having a bad day mid- day. Everyone is different. I’m aiming for pure body fat burn so I am literally forcing it now with less fats. I don’t feel different in mental focus so must be working. Surging warm flashes in my feet at times tells me it’s working.

jenbella08 helms1ca8 be careful with this. If your urinating at night through the night, this may be indicative of not enough salts. I remember a little bit more bathroom trips but not something that made me every hour. The water to salts ratio may need to be tweaked if it lasts more than a few days. I personally feel if water is absolutely forced too much it can wash out trace potassium and sodium.
