Keto + tirzepatide is the combination that finally worked for me. I'd done keto before with limited results and tirzepatide with limited results, but together the appetite suppression of the medication plus the ketosis just clicked. Down 28 lbs in 5 months. Not claiming this works for everyone but wanted to share what's working for me.
Your journey
Starting at 312 lbs — logging my journey here
Keto on its own never held for me either, the appetite side is what changed things. Curious how you're handling electrolytes on the low carb days, that was the part I underestimated early on
We're at almost the same spot, I'm down 29 and also doing keto alongside. Did you track carbs the whole 5 months or loosen up once the appetite stuff kicked in?
I'm down about 27 and the appetite stuff fading was the turning point for me too. How's your energy been on the keto side of it?
Curious how the keto side has held up for you as the loss slowed down. I'm on Rybelsus here in Portland and the appetite stuff faded for me around month four, so I had to lean on habits way more than I expected.
Curious whether you tracked ketosis at all during the first month or just went by how you felt, i never got past the keto flu stage myself
Curious how the first couple weeks on keto plus the shot went for you, mine was rough on energy before it evened out.
honestly keto on its own never stuck for me either, the shot is what finally made it click. Down 58 total now and the food noise going quiet was the part I didn't expect.
Curious whether you're tracking ketones at all or just going by how you feel. I only started testing mine a few weeks back and the numbers were nothing like I expected.
The appetite stuff really does seem to make the food plan stick, mine never held for long until the noise died down. Hows your energy been on keto while on the shot?
Did keto on its own years back and it stalled hard, so the stacked effect you describe makes sense to me. How were the first few weeks on both at once?
keto on its own never stuck for me either, I'd last a few weeks and drift. Curious whether you tracked carbs and calories both or just kept it simple on the food side.
curious how you're handling keto on tirzepatide since the appetite suppression makes hitting protein targets a whole different game for me. I'm down 14 and keep undershooting on protein without noticing
Curious whether the keto part got easier once the appetite suppression kicked in. Doing both at once sounds like a lot to manage early on.
I'm only about 15 down so far and still very much in the front-loaded part, so it's reassuring to read that the slower stretch is where it actually stuck for you. Did you change anything about the keto side once the losses evened out, or just ride it?
idk, the slow stretch is where mine stuck too. Fast early losses were nice but the crawl is where I actually built the habits
Mine clicked around month two as well, the appetite just went quiet and keto finally felt doable instead of a grind. I'm on Wegovy here in Richmond and had a similar slow stretch after the early drops, so it's oddly reassuring to see the same curve in your log.
Front-loaded for me too, first couple months were fast then it settled into a grind. The grind part is where i actually had to learn to cook
What got me was the keto part, I'd tried low carb alone before and stalled out. Did the two things line up for you right away or did it take a few weeks?
