Keto beginner

Hello!! I am so excited to be starting my fitness journey. I have been doing keto for about a week now and I’m definitely green to it all. I’ve done my best to look up recipes and information but it is all a bit overwhelming. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!!

    See my post on nutrition analysis. Been doing keto for about a month. The first 5-7 lbs is just water weight as your body uses up its carbohydrate stores. I’m down 10 lbs now. For me, this is pretty easy to follow because fat is very satisfying. Bacon and brussel sprouts! Have found a couple bread recipes that are pretty good. https://gimmedelicious.com/90-second-keto-bread/. Concur on the dietdoctor

    Hi I’ve been doing keto for five weeks with good weight loss results - feel free to add me. I agree with everything said so far. It does get easier as the weeks go on - I found the first two weeks quite tough
    Good luck
