Can you help me out. I have been doing keto. The first month I lost 10 pounds, which is a lot for me and I also didn't feel hunger. But in the second month I stopped losing and I am concerned about how the fat content is affecting me. Your cholesterol drop is amazing, and good to hear because cholesterol on this diet is worrying me. But though I am not hungry, I am also feeling sluggish, which is weird on a diet that reduces carbs.

Can you tell me what you eat in an average day? I am wondering if I might be missing some aspect of it. For example, how many carb grams do you eat in a day? Do you use the keto strips?
