new to keto...please help!

No offense, but Keto posters are not looked to highly on by some folks in the forum. They think it's unsustainable. I personally am on it and don't really see the issue with it. Also, my brother (in combination with strength training) has been on it for close to a year and lost more than 120 pounds. He couldn't be happier. So, I'm following in his footsteps and using his success as sort of a guide.

Anyway, It's not that hard to cook keto. Take chili for instance. Make your chili like you normally would, except leave out the beans and/or potatoes. (Yes, I know it's weird... but in the south, potatoes in chili or chili OVER a baked potato is fairly common.)

If you want, feel free to add me. My page is private, but my diary is open to friends.

Hi

I have been doing keto on and off for a while and I think it is great. I have lost 2 stones and managed to keep it off. There are loads of great recipes and helpful articles on Pintrest, which is where I get most of my ideas from. I would definitely recommend it. I will see if I can copy and paste some helpful links for you.

This is also a great source for zero carb recipes:

I've done my share of keto. Just one peice of advice-- One high carb meal a week. It won't hurt your progress, it's a good mental break, and will prevent your thyroid from slowing down after prolonged periods of no insulin spikes. You'll want your thyroid working, I promise.

What if you don't have a thyroid any more? Seriously, because mine's been gone for a few years.
