Also I totally peeped your diary, that's way way way too many carbs for keto...
you ought to be around 20-25 to get into keto, and maintain keto at around 50g or so.1 -
Come join us at http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group for other low carbers and keto-ers. For keto you want to be eating moderate protein and high fat to keep you full and satisfied.5

I'm definitely aware as to why I'm posting this!
Trying to get my options together. Done tons of research. I was getting upper 200's of carbs prior so I'm easing my way.2 -
I found easing into low carb to be the most effective overall because once there its easier to maintain.2

Joining the group is a great place to start. It should also be noted that you want to consume 3-5000 mg of sodium a day.4

The group linked above is a great source of information.
The sodium suggestion is smart too. Increase salt intake to about 2 teaspoons per day. If you get headaches, fatigue, muscle aches, weakness or crankiness, your sodium is probably still too low.
My favorite snacks are pepperoni, nuts, cheese, nuts, veggies with dip, nuts and coffee with whipped cream. I probably eat too many nuts.
Good luck.5 -
My ultimate snack: salmon dip (smoked salmon, mayo, cream cheese,capers, onion) on crispy pork cracklins. High fat, high protein, lots of flavor, keeps me full from lunch to late dinner! NO CARBS (well.... very few!)1

Thanks for the sodium insight. I didn't understand it's importance, until today. Thanks!0 -
Costco has these air fried cheese disks called "whisps" that I'm totally addicted to, plus I love to snack on full fat unflavored greek yogurt, cheese, salami, left over meat, smoked salmon.1

You can mix a lot of stuff in keto. I do a lot of one skillet meals. Brown some ground, then throw the eggs in. Boom. Instant delicious.
Sautee a veggie medley, then throw the cheese in. Boom. Instant Delicious.2 -

Thank you so much for this sodium suggestion! I just started a week ago and I have been having fatigue and headaches, which I expected, but I didn't expect the muscle aches and weakness! What a relief, I thought I was getting sick! Do you have any tricks for getting more sodium?
