Just preparing to start Keto!

Dunno - I have hard goal 500 calories under the total my scale app gives me as my basal rate. I have a soft goal 200-300 calories lower. My hard goal right now is 1600. I have been keto for 20 months, so I claim I am about as adapted as I am going to get.
That 1300-1400 works well for me. Energy is good. FWIW, I am 6'3". I realize I am operating at a calorie deficit, but that is what I am trying to do. I am losing about a pound a week. I am not completely sure what catabolic is, but I suspect I am not if it is something bad.0 -
My fiancé and I have been on keto diet for 6 days now. For the most part our diet is the same ( I drink coffee, he doesn’t ). I bought the keto strips and I am in ketosis but he is not. Does anyone know why?0

I've been on Keto for 7 weeks now. I was doing pretty good the first month. I only had a few mistakes, but the past week or so it's gotten out of hand. I definitely know it's a lot to deal with that I haven't been prepping my meals. But I also feel like I need that extra push that I don't have necessarily. Looking for a buddy or buddies to give tips and help keep me accountable.

Do a google search of "Dr. Eric Westman Page 4". He is the director of the (keto) obesity clinic at Duke University. Page 4 is in his guide that he provides his patients. It is a food list. You can find a printable copy if you look through a few of the sites. As he says at his clinic videos, "If it's not on page 4, don't eat it".
Or you could pat yourself on the back and know by eating only one meal you just accomplished intermittent fasting or OMAD - One Meal A Day.
Both are eating schedules some folks find helpful to weight loss and health.

Thanks. And here's the list (now that I am on my desktop). Page 4 (and 5). "If it's not on page 4, don't eat it". @idruss1456

Prelog your day in advance the night before. Know where your food is coming from and what it is. This way there are neither "oops I ate all my carbs by 1pm!" nor "I'm so hungry I'm just going to eat something else. Oops! That was too much cals and carbs!" Know the on-plan meals you can have at the local restaurants so you can be flexible if plans change.
Also, always have keto emergency snacks on hand in case you get hangries that won't quit or everything goes sideways when life wrecks your plans or contingencies by making you miss a meal or have one late.
Hangry decisions are WOE wreckers.
That is what i want to know : keto friendly snacks.0 -
That is what i want to know : keto friendly snacks.
Snacks that I like: pork rinds, cheese, pepperoni sticks, nuts, Whisps (cheese chips), tuna pouches, hard boiled eggs, half an avocado. I don't snack very much because I'm just not that hungry, but when I do, it's usually a mix of these things and serves as a meal instead. Hope that helps!0 -
My snacks: macadamias, 90% chocolate, peanut butter on celery, salami sticks,1
