Who does keto dieting?

I'm just now researching keto... prepping and such. Im tagging along here!

I started Keto again on the first- I've done it before on and off with Paleo/Whole30 for the last few years. My biggest issue is that the previous times I solely focused on my carb number and not the fat or protein, so I didn't have a ton of success. Now I'm consciously doing the research and making sure I hit my percentages to give myself the best chance at making it work! First piece of advice would be to do the research and find your numbers- there are tons of websites and even a Keto app that can help you sort it out based on your height/weight/etc.

My best advice would be meal planning- actually writing out what you're going to eat on each day and sticking to it. I use Pinterest a lot to find recipes and specifically look for recipes with common ingredients to save on any food waste (so for example if I decide to have kale salads for 3 dinners in one week, I'll also make note to use the kale in my eggs in the mornings). My absolute favorite recipe is this Jalapeno Popper Chicken: http://www.auntbeesrecipes.com/2014/01/low-carb-jalapeno-popper-chicken.html

Facebook has a ton of Keto groups as well that post recipes, tips, etc. I highly recommend joining a few of those- even if you don't post, seeing that kind of stuff on your dashboard every day is helpful and motivating to stay on track.

Best of luck on your journey!

My husband does Keto. He's lost quite a bit on it. I'm totally the opposite though so cooking is not fun! There's a good low carb group here on MFP and some on Facebook. I love getting recipe ideas from the groups.
