Back in February I started eating Keto and have had moderate to high success. Was curious if any long time Ketoers posted here and what their success looked like so far.

Getting into actual ketosis can be very dangerous (especially for women) so be sure to see your doctor regularly.

I dont think short term ketosis is what he is refering to.
The question I am curious about is, is long term ketosis harmful or not? I've been curious about this diet but I can't seem to find a reliable answer on that one.

The main danger I'm aware of is the "keto flu" wherein one could easily become dehydrated and depleted of electrolytes. I've not read anything with regard to hormonal issues.

Down 30 lbs since I started a ketogenic diet. Since moving across the country, my weight loss has stalled (not as strict given the transition period).quote:chicken broth or the like will fix this

ooops, I started this thread and somehow ended up not following. Still eating Keto. Down 36 pounds and up muscle. probably a keto eater for life. Starting weight was 205 trying to get back into the 150s

With what kind of exercise?

I never understood people who say that ketosis is bad for you. What if you were stranded on a deserted island with little vegetation and no fruit and all you could eat was wild hog? Would you die? Doubtful.
Our grain favoring AMA and USDA likes to push grains, carbs and processed sugars. His many people die every year because of diabetes and obesity?

While I do agree the recommended diet has too much carbs and sugar, by a far margin, you do realize that everyone is not the same. Low carb diets are great for some people but others would cut their life's short by going low carb. Go to your doctor, get your blood work, and go from there. Then repeat every year and see how changes effect you

So I'm trying to get more of my calories from fat, and I was wondering what you guys recommend as easy sources of fat. I'm not a big fan of super greasy foods like bacon, the grease is just a bit overwhelming for me, and I'm not trying to go keto, so some carbs are alright. Right now I've added some extra peanut butter into my diet for snacks, along with avocados, and I already eat a ton of eggs.
