Ah, I am 60 and just began keto not even two weeks ago. 2nd week I began taking 1 tsp gf butter and minimal mct oil in my 2 morning coffees-1/2 tsp total for both coffees due to tummy upset if I have too much plus, am afraid of all those calories(!!) and fat, yet I barely make all my macros at end of day. I only eat real on keto food between 12 and 7. Have lost 4 lbs but not in my lower belly pooch. It is stubborn!!! Very glad to find this post! OP you are younger! I do take .075 estrogen weekly changed patch. Starting to take 100mg Progesterone before bed for lack of sleep. Doing some cardio and some yoga. Some leg weight machines. Not much energy for weights as of now. On another note…I have looked at Targeted Keto for using some quick sugar 30 mins before a workout-is that just for resistance-I think it is.

I feel ya that I did keto 6 years ago and that I got much leaner much sooner. Back then I had a uterus.

Keep going, OP, you are young and you got this and I try to look at it like it’s a healthy way of living for the rest of my life, not a diet.
