Keto/Low carb eating
 

I’m new to the Villages and it’s been quite an adjustment. While here- my husband and I are “south of 60” and trying to make new friends and meet others- so many nice people!
But we are embracing a new ‘way of eating’ (WOE) called the ketogenic diet (or Keto). Trying to find anyone else doing this? Great health benefits- basically very low carb, high in healthy fat and moderate protein.
Anyone?

There is a group here in TV. Search Facebook for New Body Under Construction group and you will find it. Good luck, stay healthy.

The leader of the group, Terry, lives right here in The Villages although anyone can join this closed Facebook group if they subscribe to that way of eating. Great group. Basically promotes a 20 carb diet, similar more to Atkins but Keto friendly.

Oh awesome! Thanks- I sent a request to join... besides social media - does anyone meet in person? That’s what I’m looking for. Talk, share ideas and recipes ... but in person in the Villages? Like, meet up at a Rec center for a recipe try potluck?

I don't eat bread, pasta, rice or potatoes but I do cook it for my husband. I also stay away from chips, crackers and candy as much as possible. I eat weight watchers treats as a snack in the evening. By doing this I have lost 47 lbs in 10 months. I have learned a new way to eat and am enjoying it. Not sure what the keto diet is if it is like what I am doing.

Congrats! That takes commitment and hard work!

Terry tried to do it but it became too much. She originally had 3 groups, one was just for recipes an one for Villagers. It became too much for her so now our recipes and the Villages group are all on the one site with over 6,000 members. I know there are weight watchers groups here, and I think a TOPS group but not aware of others.
