Beginners-Keto diet

Welcome! I'm just getting started too, so I thought I'd hop on your thread and see what kind of info you get. I've been eating keto for 9 days, and so far I have felt satiated and energetic. I haven't experienced what some people describe as "keto flu", which sounds like can be avoided by making sure you have enough salt and water. I am hoping for some good pointers towards research , but I really, really want to know the deal with avocados. Some people seem to swear by them, and I love them, but they're throwing my carb count over and it's discouraging for me.
What kind of suggestions are you looking for? Recipes or favorite meals? Figuring out macros counts?
I have enjoyed reading threads on here and have found some valuable information along the way, but definitely interested in learning more and being a part of this community that seems to provide support and accountability. Best wishes on your keto journey!

I tried Keto before and agree with the rules above. I have taken it very serious this time, weigh you food to get accurate readings, I also use Ketostix, to make sure my body stays in a ketogenic state. Long way to go but going in the right direction

podcasts...keto talk, 2 keto dutes, keto for women... google i your friend. do a keto calculator to determine your macros. change the percentages of carbs proteins and fats under goals. Enjoy.

Day 3 for me on Keto. One question is ideas for side dishes for dinner. Seems like all our side dishes were carb heavy and finding it hard to come up with keto friendly options other than salad/veggies.

One other question is about food labels. Definitely checking them for carbs/protein/fat, but should I worry about specific ingredients if the carbs are near zero?

Thanks for the help. Always looking for new friends for mutual support.

went out to scotty's brewhouse yesterday and enjoyed a small bison burger without the bun with blue cheese cajun spices and mustard and mayo. side of steamed broccoli. delicious. I'm on week 3 9 pounds gone out of 25 goal.

I am easing in, expecting to go full force in the next week or so (sugar & wine addicts and need to realistically use up my pantry). 5 days in and I lost almost 3 pounds without really "trying", being crazy hungry, and zero exercise.

I am definitely finding my potassium intake is low based on the tracking #'s and my sleep is out of wack. It looks like I have to supplement with some magnesium and pink Himalayan salt for good measure.

I don't have any restrictions or allergies and, after more research recently, I am excited about the food options / replacements on Keto. The 3-5 day egg kick start is on the horizon in the next week or 2. Good luck to you!
