Question

I did weight watchers 16 years ago and was very successful with it. I've tried several times but I can't get back in the mind frame of counting my points. I would like to try Keto to get me going and help detox my body from all the junk then switch to WW when I'm in a good frame of mind. Can anyone offer me some help with some keto basics to get me going?

Answer 2

Keto 101 : helping you get started on your keto journey

Answer 3

DO NOT do it! Keto is something you don’t jump in and out from. I did keto, lost some weight then plateaued- Went back to WW, yes it’s hard to get back into the grove but WW is something you can do forever in keto is very restricting

Answer 4

Don't. After 3 months on Keto my hair was falling out, my liver got fatty and I had a guall bladder attack. (No surgery thankfully). Husband did it too and is now on cholesterol meds. Def not worth the 12lbs I lost.  

Answer 5

I agree that WW is the best. In the past when I was struggling to get back on board I did Atkins to help me detox and get my mind frame back. I don't feel that low carb is sustainable.  

Answer 6

I cant track using the app. something about its just makes me fail. So i bought a food journal writing it all down instead of digitally tracking helps so much

I don’t think it’s for everybody . It wasn’t for me . I got extreme joint pain and couldn’t move . I switched to WW and feel great . I like to be able to eat everything and to have variety . I also don’t lose as fast as I have on the old system but i feel healthy . Isn’t that our goal ?! Good luck
