[NSV] Started Monday, today (Saturday), was told by an acquaintance that my face looked noticeably thinner. She had no idea I am dieting!

Like I said, I just started Monday, hit ketosis within about 24 hours. Only had mild keto flu symptoms easily assuaged by ibuprofen.

Changes I've noticed:

• More energy! I didn't believe it when I read it here, but I can't believe how I feel!
• I feel more outgoing and talkative, able to socialize better, and better language skills (I work as an interpreter in a trilingual environment). I don't know if this just has to do with having more energy/less brain fog, and if it does, that is definitely how it has manifested itself within me and it's been awesome.
• Monday and Tuesday I thought I was gonna binge after restricting myself to 2000 calories, but by Wednesday that had lessened. As of now for the last three days, I feel like I can get by on 1500 no problem. Again, I was skeptical about achieving satiety from way less calories, but I am feeling it myself.
• My carb and sugar cravings are diminishing day by day.

Thanks for all the advice and info r/keto. I hope to stick with this for the long run. I don't really know what my goal weight is, but I definitely want to be under 200lbs and as of now, I'm down to 312 in just a few days. Next week I want to start a workout or exercise routing and I am considering C25K or just riding my bike for a hour 3-5 times a week. Special shoutout to the regulars ar #ketochat! Keto on!
