LOL, my net carb intake yesterday was 35g. Try again.
Keto is not magic, and it is not the right fit for everyone. There is no 'One True Way', other than finding a way to create a sustainable calorie deficit that works for you.
I'm at 111 g of carbs today and haven't eaten dinner yet LOL
A low day for me is 350g, high can be 600. Still waiting on them to make me fat or diabetic
Oh it’s coming! 😂😂😂😂😂1 -
I'm still trying to figure out why raw cookie in the middle = disgusting.
I'm not sure I can handle that kind of negativity in my life! 😂8 -

Also, I didn't disagree with this (though I'm pretty sure I can guess at least one who did), and while it's true to some degree, I don't exactly want to be in a calorie deficit...1 -

Not one person in here has hated on keto.
Not one.
I haven't noticed that, either. Its pretty much just people saying hey...it may not be the best thing for you, OP, maybe there's a better option. I guess not blindly being a cheerleader = being a "hater". 🤷♀️
For the record, I'm not a hater...I just know its not right for me. Kudos to people who can do it though.6 -

In my previous life as a carb eater, I did really like hard cookies. Some people also make keto cookies but I've never tried.0 -

Exactly! I'm thinking back to grade school now to those soft underbaked chocolate chip cookies my school cafeteria would sell...those were the best!5 -

This. I do it with cherries and blueberries. Of course, it gives my sensitive teeth a fright, but is so yummy, and can make a tasty treat last much longer. I could plow through a row of Oreos without even realizing it.0 -
This is the closest I could come in keto cookies to the OP image. I read the ingredient list. I AM NOT ENVIOUS.

People like to make fun of vegans and our weirdo foods, but sometimes I find myself looking at recipes for keto bread, cookies, or cake and going "haha what?"
(This is very good hearted, obviously if someone enjoys their keto cookies there is nothing wrong with that. I'll just sit here with my carrot "bacon" and be quiet now).17 -

I agree. Do you you need to do for you. I do not know of many people who would enjoy eating as much fish as I do. Some would consider that a deal breaker for even trying weight loss. I do not see how people eat so much chicken. If that were required it would be a deal breaker for me.
I am not a high fat person. It does not control my hunger and I find it hard to get up to keto levels without it making me feel queasy.
My yum is someone's yuck. My yuck is someone's yum.
I think the OP may be trying to force herself to live in a box instead of finding her box. I do not know. If it is medically related it may just have to be that way. If not, 95 percent of weight loss efforts fail for a reason. I suspect being in the wrong box is at or near the top of explanations.10 -

I'm pretty sure my lifelong dislike of fish was caused by my mother's five fish meals a week doing late 70s/early 80s Weight Watchers...
From what I've been reading, that super high fat intake you see touted for keto is hokum. It's not actually necessary to be up at 75-80% of cals, and the ones who push that are probably the people scared that a perfectly reasonable protein intake is going to cause gluconeogenesis. I have no idea if I'm in ketosis at the level of carbs I'm currently eating (and don't really care), but I'm only eating ~55-60% of my calories from fat. Perfectly satiated (which was the point of this low low carb experiment), and hitting my calorie goal.5 -

I could probably come closer to doing your version. That is higher fat than normal but not bulletproof copy/fat bomb levels. The problem for me these days is the activity so even my moderate carbs days are behind me. I once worried that higher carbs might interfere with my hunger control but really high protein and high fiber take care of it most of the time. I am most often high volume too but that is more preference than requirement most days.
For me this has been an interesting journey. I have been low and moderate carb levels when I was more sedentary and that worked great for me and my reactive hypoglycemia. With weight loss and activity the intensity of the reaction is minimized. I still have to play it smart but I am more free.
This is what I keep trying to tell people. You don't know everything you need to know when you start. Stop making large "lifestyle" changes. Just get started somewhere and be prepared to learn and adapt. That is what a real lifestyle looks like anyway.5 -

My version is pretty sweet, and I really only made some minor tweaks - half and half instead of skim milk in my morning coffee (and there is most definitely a limit to how much fat I can do on an empty stomach, no bulletproof coffee happening in this house!!), less yoghurt and tamarillo for breakfast, swapped carrot sticks for celery sticks at lunch, dropped the milk from my evening protein smoothie and halved the berries in it. I actually could drop an extra 10 grams of carbs fairly easily too, if I cared about whether I've hit keto levels, but I don't.
That results in cals and macros that look like this (those are net carbs):
And evening meals that look like this:
(I had quarter of the mushroom and spinach 'pie', with sautéed asparagus).
I wouldn't be trying this experiment if I was a lot more active though. But I also suspect it would be unnecessary.

Why? Probably you have a hardcore sugar addiction! You body is going through withdrawals and you need to stick it out it will pass and you won’t have any cravings! Once you get into keto sis literally no desire for cookies and chocolate or anything! ( this has never been me bc I say I’m hardcore chocolate lover but it’s me now) I really did an omad fasting my 2nd week and it cut any desire to cheat and no desire to eat junk when my family eats out now I don’t want any. ( that’s really huge for me)2
-
Oh and make sure you get your electrolytes those affect cravings as well2
-
And birchbenders makes a delicious chocolate chip pancake batter that can be made to cookies or get a keto cookie not the same exactly but if it hits that craving, also you can make your own keto ice cream super easy! Add me I’ve got lots of recipes and hints and tips and tricks. I’m in my 3rd week and I’ve done it before.2

@snowflake954 I'm almost inclined to believe this was more about the cookie recipe than anything else. A pitch for the cookie recipe and that's all she wrote.
People give it their all, answering OP in good faith and so many don't come back to read them. There's your sign.

There are keto cookies (and other treats) you can make or buy. I have to stay low carb and low sugar for health reasons but I sometimes do eat keto desserts (or waffles, pasta, etc.) for the times when I need a small break from meat and vegetables every day.

Hi Keto lovers,
Keto is really a big deal. I'm not into loosing weight at all, I love to do long runs, so being fat adapted is very helpful. Also it helps me lose belly fat.
Sugar cravings are just as powerfull as cocaine cravings which I know too xD. The best way to tell my body that there no drugs no more is cutting all the carbs and its working. My sweet tooth became less potent. Now I crave chicken broth with sour cream and dill yummyyyyyyyy
Just tried intermittant fasting and its keto's best friend
Runs while fasting, electrolytes and cold showers !
Peace and love everyone. Excuse my english mistakes
