    Hey there!! I have found southern keto recipe book has delicious options. Every recipe i have tried has been awesome! Once you get really going on Keto, you might notice that you will have less of an appetite. Don’t force yourself to eat if you are not hungry. I did this at first because i thought i was use to eating every meal. Now i skip breakfast with no issues. Craziness for me!

    Welcome to the community! <3

    If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

    You need to do a lot of research before starting keto. There are very specific restrictions and macros, not to mention the keto flu. Seek out other keto threads or the low carbers group.

    Buy a food scale. Weigh everything you eat and log into the food diary.

    Good luck with your journey!

    Don’t! Just learn to stop overeating by listening to your bodies hunger and fullness signals.

    If trying Keto I recommend the groups The Low Carber Daily Forum and The Keto group.

    Don't waste money on expensive "keto" marketed products, none are needed.

    Electrolytes are very important starting Keto.

    We take a 250 mg magnesium supplement, cook with white sea salt, and very lightly sprinkle potassium salt substitute on our prepared food.

    Good luck.
