You Might Be a Keto Dieter if.....

You might be a keto dieter if you figure 4 pounds of bacon will be enough to get through a 4-day camping trip...then cook 6 because you figure 1/3 will disappear while you're cooking.2

You've ever taken a shot of melted butter before.2

You find that you can't eat enough.1

There are a couple different types of fast food sandwiches Ive eaten without the bun. Before my nightshade allergy, from McD's Id order 2 $1 chicken sandwiches and 1$1 McDouble. Then use the chicken as the bread for the McDouble meat and throw the buns to the dog/birds/trash/etc. The carb count was something like 8 and the fat was like 30+ if you included the mayo on the chicken and cheese on the meat.
But now with the nightshade allergy, i just get a $1 McDouble, extra pickles, substitute onions (cause who wants dehydrated when you can get real slivered onion for free), add mayo. Then give the bun to the dog/birds/trash/etc.
Im guessing you can do this anywhere, but with our budget even a $1 sandwich from McD's is like a monthly treat and the only treat we get that month.1 -
The family opens the fridge exclaiming, "There's nothing to eat!"
Then you point out:
The boiled eggs
The roasted bacon
Avocado
Crustless quiche
4 different types of cheese
Sour cream salad dressing2 -

I was just feeling a little story for myself for not being in ketosis when I stumbled across this. Love it! Reminded me why I love this WOE and why is worth it.0

"you by 5+ dozen eggs at your every-other-week farmer's market trip, just to sustain your breakfasts."
Yep... actually gave a serious thought to buying 15 dozen eggs on my last trip. But, decided the 10/cent per dozen savings wasn't worth the risk that the last dozen might not be eaten before they go bad.
I'm not up to 15 quite yet, but I do buy 5+ dozen eggs every other week at my farmer's market, just to sustain breakfasts.
You've ever taken a shot of melted butter before.
You don't bother with melting it and just eat the butter solid.
Also, you swipe the leftover cream from your friend's/family member's coffee after a breakfast out.
Your pantry's all but empty, but you need a bigger fridge (and/or freezer).1 -

To avoid that, I have a bottle of GOOP by the sink. It's not going to last long.
You know you're a ketoer if you lick the bacon fat (or cream...or both) left on the bottom of the plate/bowl like it's chocolate.

LOL! I do that!
Everybody at church knows I am on a LCHF and when some of us go out to eat after church at a steakhouse, one of the church members cut of a big chunk of fat off her prime rib and plopped it on my plate. I thanked and ate it! And it was sooooo good! Another new member saw this and gave a strange look.... (LOL!) So,
You might be Keto if your friends cut the fat off their steak and give it to you....!

I haven't really eaten out since I started this WOE (dead broke), but I can totally see me doing this!!!! Too bad I don't have a BK in town... Sonic or Braum's, though, yeah, I'd totally do this.
I've ordered both Baconators and Son of Baconators sans ketchup and bun. Mmmmm meat cheese and bacon

I'm still not able to eat fat that isn't marbled into the meat. It's a sensory thing. I have to make up my fats with stuff I can hide it in, except avocados. I love them raw.

I love those. Hubs got me a TRIPLE baconator the other day. Died and went to heaven. I couldn't finish it. Licked every one of my fingers though. I enjoyed the rest for breakfast the next day.1 -

You know you're a keto dieter if your vegetable drawer in the fridge is full of packets of sliced meat, and cheeses of all kinds - because you know the kids will NEVER look there and it's "all mine damn it".1

We actually have both produce drawers repurposed that one. One is my drawer with the string cheese and baby bels, the other is for my son's lunchbox snacks. A lot of the produce I use is the kind that does worse if it's refrigerated, so it was a waste of space.1 -

We actually pulled those drawers out completely and used the shelves for other things. They've been repurposed to hold aquarium supplies.

I do this. It gives you so much more room in the fridge.

My 4yo son is watching some show on Nick Jr called Peppa Pig. The family of pigs ate dinner with another family of pigs. They were all oinking and noisily slurping spaghetti. The fathers then decided they needed seconds too. It was the stuff of nightmares. Later on in the next episode Daddy pig realizes he cant touch his toes.... he starts exercising by doing push ups but then just lies on the couch watching tv and counting so his family thinks he's doing push ups.

Hahaha wow. Great list. Definitely guilty of many of those. Fiance is right there with you on the eggs, @FIT_Goat.
You might be a keto dieter if...
You go to a coffee shop and ask for room for heavy whipping cream NO NOT HALF AND HALF, and a spoon to measure it.
Them: "Any sweetener?"
Me: "No thanks. I'm on a diet. Please make sure that heavy whipping cream is unsweetened!"
Also...I made this at work the other day. Posted it in another group on here as well:

You wake up wondering what you can stuff with cream cheese, lol!0
