  1. I was at my heaviest, 230 in Jan. Started keto with the life, lost 15 lbs pretty easy over a couple of months with some cheat days (weekends) mixed it. Motivated by some on here like Bernard started the fasting thing. After 10 days, I lost 20 more lbs to get to 195 for the first time since mid 20s.

    The fasting thing was interesting. First 2-3 days were the hardest for sure. After that, it kind of felt like I had a lump in the middle of gut, similar to being a little bloated. If I was busy, then I hardly noticed it. If I saw food, didn't really matter. Now, if I smelled food, something triggered in my brain, and I felt uncomfortable again. The biggest key was to pound water all day every day. For one, it kept the "hunger pains" down. But, it seemed like, especially towards the end of the 10 days, I was more dehydrated as the day went on. I wanted to go 14 days, but the last two nights, I started to get several cramps at night in my feet/legs, leading to not getting enough sleep, leading to having a harder day. Still, I was happy with the results. Oh, I allowed myself coffee during this also. Sometimes I would put a touch of cream in it. Coffee helped a ton with the morning sluggishness for me.

    I don't know if I would recommend it for everyone. If you are active during the day, I think it would drain you too much. I'm at a desk mostly, and I didn't have any expected travel, so I thought it would be a good time. One Saturday we went to a nephew's baseball game, so I was chasing the 3 and 1 year old for a few hours. The next morning, I felt hungover. 

    I'm going to eat some tacos and drink some whisky then start keto again Monday hoping to lose 15ish more. Good luck everyone, I enjoy reading about everyone's journey.

    yeah, there is a box to "add to my streams"

     

    When I say dashboard, I mean adds to the drop down under my activity. 

    Clicking that Add does add it to the My Activity Streams dropdown. And if you make it default it will show up on every page in the top right and bottom right corner.
