Note
To experience the full benefits of ketosis we recommend using a ketogenic diet. No products required.
A keto diet is simply a very strict low-carb diet, for maximum power.
We count net carbs.
Please advise, thank you
I am new to Keto Diet and like to make my own breads, crackers and muffins (low carb & keto of course) I am wondering how much/many is allowed per day? Also the same with dairy. I love my cheese, cream and butter but how much is too much?

I am on my ketogenic diet,it hv been 25 days and I am noticing appreciable overall weight loss,but I am concerned about my arm fat and face fat it is not reducing at all why is so?I actually started keto diet because of that,please help
Unfortunately, we can't spot target where we lose the fat from. It sounds like you are off to a great start, the arm fat will reduce in its own time.
I am a 62 yo female, 210 lbs. I've lost 4 pounds in 4 weeks, but I am so frustrated because everyone seems to lose 26 pounds in the first week. What am I doing wrong? I'm counting carbs using carb manager (I wish DD had a carb/cal counting program), and keeping calories between 1200-1300, and am doing IF. I exercise 3x week. I have a sneaky suspicion that my protein levels may be too high (often more than fat). Carbs are sometimes well below 20 grams.
If I am eating too much protein, how and where do I decrease it? Should I add more veg? Since starting IF, I am hardly hungry before 4-5 pm, so that is great. I'm ready to throw up my hands and order a pizza! Help, please!
I recommend starting back over with our two week challenge which will help give you and idea of good, balanced, keto friendly meals. You can omit meals if you are not hungry.

Here is a link to our troubleshooting tips for weight loss; and yes, alcohol could be a big factor.

2) is it beneficial for people to take multiple MCT oil product?
3) is MCT oil powder a good meal replacement
4) whats the difference between keto powder and regular protein powder
You may find our ketosis guide helpful. In general, we don't recommend meal replacements. The ketones you make and burn are the most effective.

I started a keto diet about a week or 3 ago. All going well.. I endured the Keto flu and I think I was at the verge of being fat adapted.
Now last saturday I went out and failed... Big time. Yesterday the same.
Now my question: Do you think I have to start over again? If so, i'm just going for a normal diet again or do you think my body will switch back to burning fat as soon as the carbs are processed?
Thanks :)
After 3 weeks, it's tough to tell. You most likely would not go through keto flu again.
Unfortunately many of the shakes rely on artificial sweeteners and other ingredients we generally recommend avoiding. You can get started with our free two week challenge.

Here is a great video from Dr Fung about what will break a fast.

Hi, Joyce! Keto doesn't generally raise BP or cholesterol, but there could be other factors involved.
Also keep in mind that it can take at least 6 months for your cholesterol numbers to level out after starting keto or low carb.

Different ingredients can affect people differently. In addition to keeping an eye on carb count, other foods like artificial sweeteners or alcohol may affect ketosis as well. If you're using the urine test strips they may be expired.
