Yes, I agree. It's taken me the third try before it clicked.

Why not just have some blueberries (maybe with full fat greek yogurt) and then not have any other carbs that day. I get the same cravings for fruit and that's what I do when they hit and Ive managed to stay in ketosis. I tend to eat the berries toward the end of the day and I find it doesnt increase my sugar cravings because I fast overnight while I sleep all the way till 1 pm the next day. I find that somehow resets me and I stay in ketosis and I dont get cravings.

Good luck.

@jlangton10 how is it going for you lately?

I guess I'm weird and don't get when people say they are out of options and can't figure out what to eat. I eat like a piglet princess (LOL) and I still have 3,000 ideas of what else I can eat that is LCHF.

Don't like eggs? Don't eat 'em! No one is making you do it LOL. I sometimes get VERY bored w/sick of eggs, but I fry them in butter and/or bacon fat, and also smother them in cheese, salsa or hot sauce, top with mushrooms, spinach, sausage, etc., since sometimes their flavor bugs me every so often, plus I love having more excuses to smother stuff in bacon fat, butter, cheese, and hot sauce!

I think people forget there are no limits to the kinds of dishes you can make that can be your new favorite thing instead of cereal and stuff (maybe that's my problem in not understanding/empathizing, I quit most breads and cereal and stuff like that a couple years before I started keto, I was still enjoying the occasional piece of Ezekiel sprouted grain bread and still ate brown rice, but that was it).

Some links of gorgeous food that you can enjoy, might inspire us to not give up and realize this is truly already a diet rich in wonderful food we should crave:

https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/recipes - One of the first sites I ever was on for keto recipes, wonderful support and has a TON of supportive advice, good articles, reader success stories, and if you don't already know the Diet Doctor himself, Andreas Eenfeldt--he's a very funny, charming, and smart guy from Sweden - check out this video.

http://peaceloveandlowcarb.com/recipes/ - I got my smoked sausage with fried cabbage (one of my mainstays) idea from her. She's got some good recipes

http://ketoconnect.net/ (Cute couple in PA run this site, they are young and have been doing keto just a short while, but they have it down pat, and have great YouTube videos--a lot of their stuff seems basic but they make it very easy to follow AND they are very engaged with their audience, replying to comments, taking feedback for say, a request to make a vid that shows how to make such and such dish)

http://www.edify.net.au/low_carb_recipes_list.php - I just found this today. The lunch and dinner ideas look really good

http://www.ruled.me/ - One of my early favorites for a variety of REALLY good food - Craig and Laura have especially one of the biggest low carb desserts recipe archives that I've seen. Nice photos and lots and lots of support/responses to comments.

I also have a lchf cooking collection here, I'm currently working on a recipe book due to popular demand/requests from folks who follow it.

Hope that helps!
