    The hardest part of keto for me is getting enough fat. Cutting the carbs is easy for me. I use a TON of MCT oil with coffee and loads of butter on everything.

    Hello and welcome OP. I suggest you check out the following main low carber daily forum group here in MFP. It's where most of us Ketophiles tend to hang out:

    @ladipoet I've tried to join that group a couple times now and have yet to be approved. Is there a problem with the group or is there certain criteria to get approved? I keep seeing posts suggesting it but can't join!

    Must have been an MFP glitch. Members request to join, and it makes available an "approve" or "deny" list at the top of the Group Mods Group screen. We have to go to the group to check to see if we have new requests. Unfortunately the site doesn't notify us otherwise. And then we manually approve each. So if it's 3 a.m. where I'm at, and someone requests, I'm not going to be able to see it to approve until I come check things out in the morning. I haven't been popping by as often as my family has been super-high-maintenance the past few days and now I'm sick. But I still pop-in 3 times a day at least.

    Sorry you had trouble.

    I just started this week! Struggling to plan meals for myself and for my family. I know it shouldn't be hard, but for whatever reason, I have some sort of stumbling block. I could use all the help I can get! Hopefully I'll get approved in the other group as well.

    I'm starting keto this Monday. Got 2 books and grocery shopped. Would love keto peeeps added to my friends list. I would love to get keto friends food tips as the fat part will be hard for me to adjust to
