@nhackel1 the only keto requirement I know about is to eat at or below 50 grams of carbs daily. Some seem to do this from the start but it took me a few months. Keto has been awesome for my body and mind since 2014.
Best of success.
That is keto in a nut shell: fewer than 20-50g of carbs a day.
Some do low protein(15%) and some go high (35+%). Fat is usually moderate to high. Some eat meat based whole others manage to fo it vegan or vegetarian. Some eat whole foods and yet others eat lots of processed foods.1 -
Would i be terrible to take a bite of potatoes. Don't say that keto is then not for me because i could literally handle a bit of mashed potatoes once a week to curb the craving. Keto has been working well cause i love most of the foods your allowed to eat. But potatoes have always been my favorite cant see 1/16th of a serving would go over the limit for the day?!?! right?3

Seems like you want to do keto because it’s all the rage. If you like carbs that much just eat carbs. Keto has no fat loss advantage over non keto when calories and protein are equated.10 -

no i want to do keto for my own reasons that have nothing to do with what other people are doing. I have had months of research and i don't just do things willy nilly but by all means go on and think that when you don't know me.12 -

I am not sure why I have authority over how you feed yourself but you have my permission to deal with cravings as they appear in the way of your choosing. Keto doesn't require 100 percent adherence. If it did it would be worthless to a lot of people. A good plan should have flexibility.4 -

Personally, I'd just get on Pinterest and search for keto recipes so things aren't so boring and monotonous.2 -

Didn't you say a minute ago that you want to have potatoes (a very nutritious and satiating vegetable by the way and great for re-feeds), which are full of carbohydrates so they sort of don't work very well with keto?
You can do lower carb without doing keto, you can do keto and go in and out of ketosis while eating potatoes, you can do keto and eat 1/16 of a serving of potatoes and stay in ketosis, or you can do keto without potatoes.
If you've researched it so well and it suits you, why are you arguing about potatoes?9 -

You right. Not sure what I was thinking. Go keto, cheat on potatoes, come out of ketosis. And repeat. Totally logical5
