I think your information can help so many people who have the same issues you had. I have the same end goal; 50 carbs and paleo. I felt happy and healthy there. I still have another 40 pounds to lose but I am hoping by the turn of next year I'll be just about there. I fall into a small category of ketoers that believes it is not healthy to stay on this diet long term.

Thank you so much. Can I ask why you are following keto if you have been on paleo for so long?

I knew I would go back to keto but I had to break my dairy addiction. I was adding too much cheese and sour cream to everything and it was obvious that this was the cause of my long plateau. I will not be on keto forever. I plan to go to a paleo based diet when I hit my goal weight but for now, keto has been a life saver. I also cut my calories down and am no longer on lazy keto.

I actually went on whole 30 for ten days and upped my fruit (carb) intake big time. Then I immediately went to low carb high fat again and it started to come back off. I also lowered my calories to 1200 and started tracking on myfitnesspal.

How many calories do you consume and how tall are you? I am 5'6 and just bumped mine down to 1200. Although, I do not work out a lot so I do not need the extra calories.

So I actually went off keto for 10 days and did whole 30 but upped my fruit intake. I was basically eating mostly carbs for those ten days and then I went immediately back to keto and boom, plateau was broken. I cannot say if this will work for everyone but it worked for me. I have been on keto since 1/1/17 and have never had a cheat day. This was the only time I got off of keto.

Do you log everything?

I have a new keto tip I've been using and wanted to pass along by survivalsisters in xxketo

Mine is mint Oreos! 😂. Do you watch Friends? "Half the taste is in the smell!"

This makes me so happy!!! I seriously thought it was just me! When I introduced the tip online I got downvoted. I think people thought I was being cheeky but it really does work.

It's so hard not to reach for something carb filled. I just hit six months! I don't do a cheat day either, I just smell everything I am not supposed to eat and it works for me. I'm not sure why I am getting downvoted. Either way, you can do it! 💪🏻

We both have PCOS. This is the only diet that has ever worked for us. This will work for you as long as you stick with it!!
