Hello there!

I've recently become interested in keto. I've been paleo/a little primal since last August and my health has improved and I've lost a few pounds. I do strength training and sprints and am looking for a plan to help shed a little bit more fat. I would consider myself in maintenance with the exception of wanting to lose that last little layer of fat. I'll be turning 50 in a few months and I can't believe that I feel like I am in the best shape and health of my life!

I have had my macros set at 50f/25p/25c for quite a while and have pretty much stabilized there. I thought my first step would be to adjust that down to 70f/20p/10c and make some tweaks to my diet to see if I can hit that. Does this sound like a good plan? I feel like I may need to go fully primal to achieve this and add dairy back in on a regular basis.

I intend to up my water intake and buy some Ketostix. I need to find out more about this. Do you test everyday?

I have found what appear to be some good resources online, but does anyone have recommendations? I didn't see a "sticky" post for this sort of info. I'm currently reading Wheat Belly and plan to check out Grain Brain after. Any other books/authors?

One more question - do you have sources for meal plans? I don't have a problem tweaking my current diet, but love to get new ideas and recipes.

Thank you all! I look forward to learning and sharing with the group.
