Keto friends

Options
Hi I’m doing keto for about a month now. It would be nice to have a few buddies to share recipes and progress with. So far I am enjoying it and do not crave for anything! And I’ve not even been tempted by the kids candy this year which I admit I usually eat! But not this year and to me it’s a big success in my eyes bc Halloween candy always takes me off the rails and it’s so hard to get back on track after bc then it’s thanksgiving! But this year is so different this time is so different. I’ve done it before but I feel like it’s easier this time and less effort. I don’t miss anything not even chocolate which to me as a hardcore chocolate fiend is like a miracle!

    I have been keto for 8 years and love this WOE. I make absolutely everything I eat but it has to be quick as I don’t want to spend my life in the kitchen (I also eat out) The best bit of advice I could give anyone doing keto is to ketofy the foods you love, that way it’s easier to stick too. There is nothing you can’t have if you ketofy it and plan it into your macros. Any recipes you want I’m sure I’ll have somewhere, good luck 🍀 and keto on.

    Hi guys and I hope thanksgiving went well! I did well and had a nice spread. What did you guys have? I had turkey, I made a keto sweet potato casserole, crust less pumpkin pie with crumbles up top, bacon wrapped asparagus, brussel sprouts with bacon and pancetta, mashed rutabaga it was all so amazing and I stayed within calories

    I am in the US. I am not a fan of turkey, so i modified that tradition. Yes, that is a pumpkin pie with only 7 net carbs per slice (8 slices per pie in a 10" pan).

    The one thing I have never acquired a taste for is pumpkin pie. I love pumpkin as a veggie mashed with lots of butter & cumin spice.

    What's terrible is that its only 560 calories. I make a lot of chaffles (pumpkin, chocolate chip, sweet, chaffle grilled cheese, gingerbread). Its the only "bread" my son will eat.

    If you ever want recipes let me know.

    Gingerbread!

    I would start by increasing fats with salmon, avocados and nuts which may help with keeping you feeling full for longer and naturally reducing protein
    I have the opposite problem trying to get enough protein in but over the week it seems to even out. I hope this helps. 🙏
