Chocolate peanut butter fat bombs
diet sodas
water ehancers (like Mio)
Atkins shakes

Those are the sweet things I eat or drink on a regular basis.

ETA: If you are eating several pieces of fruit a day, you will not get the benefits of ketogenic eating, such as appetite supression, becuase you are essentially loading your body with sugar every few hours.

Personally I love fruit.. too much. Once I have a piece of fruit I end up eating 3 - 4 portions then I get a craving for other carby foods from the sugar rush.. so I tend to stay away from fruit nowadays. If I want healthy fibrous foods I stick to green leafy vegetables.

There are plenty of options while skipping fruit. If you can't give up fruit, that's your body keeping its dependency on sugar. You need to break that cycle.

I eat chocolate almost every day. I started with Ghiradelli dark 86. Now I use Lily's Chocolate (sweetened with erythritol and stevia).

One of my favorite items is coconut custard (I've posted here in MFP - use the search function and you'll find it). It's almost 90% fat - perfect for keto. I've made low carb brownies, low carb cheesecake (pumpkin cheesecake was a hit - and cheesecake with a brownie base was another great one). Low carb ice cream was also yummy.

I experiment with sweeteners - which ones I like, which ones are good in baking, which ones leave an aftertaste.

There are hundreds of websites out there that have low carb and keto recipes. I've bought half a dozen cookbooks. A few were great, most I haven't used. You have to take the time and effort to search for things and to experiment. For every hit there's be a failure (avocado chocolate truffles did not work for me, but the same website had several other things that worked great).

Reddit's keto page is a huge wealth of knowledge. Their FAQ is fantastic. If you haven't checked it out, please do -- it will answer so many of your questions. People are also constantly posting recipes on there, which is where I've gotten a lot of my ideas from.

Good Luck.

Ditto the Primal Blueprint. www.marksdailyapple.com. So much great info. If you quit the sugar, fruit included (especially if it is a trigger) your cravings will go away. As far as energy for your workout, I would suggest dropping carbs some every week until your body gets used to it. For me, losing weight requires less than 50 carbs/day but Primal does advocate 50-100 gms/day for long term heath. When I get to my goal I will add back some healthy carbs including fruit. Never sugar or junk out of a box though. You also asked about how many grams of fat per day. Mark Sisson (primal blueprint) says .5-1gm of protein/day. I back into the macros using the customizing feature here at MFP. Mine are currently 65% fat, 10% carbs, 25% protein and about 1300 calories/day but I am not nearly as active as you are. Much easier to stay within your calorie goals when such a high % of calories are coming from fat. Good luck. You'll do great!

Hi and welcome!! I recently gave up fruit. I was eating berries and an occasional plum or 1/2 cup cantaloupe. I usually had 2 servings daily. I was in a stall and decided to eliminate the fruit. I'm losing again so I'll hold off on the fruit until I'm at goal. I don't have any carbs at breakfast. I have bulletproof coffee (12 oz coffee, 1 tbsp coconut oil, 1 tbsp mct oil, 1 tbsp unsalted grass fed butter and 1 tbsp heavy cream) There is around 45 gram of fat there and this keeps me satiated until early afternoon. My carbs come mainly from veggies and I usually stay under 25 grams net/day. My macros are 10-20-70 (C-P-F) and my cal are set @ 1700. The beginning is a bit of a struggle, but the cravings do go away!! Lots of resources out there as those above have mentioned, Good Luck!!
