Looking to start the KETO diet but have no idea where to start. I’m looking for someone to guide me until I get the hang of it. I have a ton of questions!

    Why are you choosing to do Keto? Its not a diet I would recommend unless you have done a good amount of research because it can come with complications like electrolyte imbalances. If anything, I would start with low carb, work on making whole food choices and eventually moving towards Ketogenic. A goo start is aiming for 100g of carbs, around 100-130g of protein and the rest fats. I would start looking at recipes that are low carb or keto in nature. I would also recommend minimizing or not doing fat bombs, keto coffees or replacement desserts/snacks. They are often highly caloric and can impede weight loss.

    Even though i am not a huge fan of all his content, Thomas Delauer has a few good starting keto videos

    7 pounds in 8 days is not a sustainable pace.

    Not sure of your starting weight - but if you have a lot to lose yes, you could lose 7lb in the first 8 days - but in the long run you need to aim for no more than 2lb per week - and that pace only if you have a lot to lose.

    Regardless of whether you are doing keto or not.

    Just count the calories and get a reasonable plan. Keto means nada, just another fad diet.
