No dairy struggles

Hello! I'm looking for advice. My body doesn't process dairy very well so I'm just starting keto (day 2) but with no to minimal dairy. I am also struggling to get enough fat and protein without going over 25 net carbs. Like, do I need to eat a whole avocado every day? Am I eating like one strawberry a day and no other fruit? I've checked out 6 books from the library on keto and no dairy keto and I'm still not sure I'm doing this right. Help!

    Hello and Welcome!
    There are so many ways to eat in a low carb high fat way. I’m just now returning to a keto lifestyle and returning to My Fitness Pal to track and engage with others on this path.

    About your question, I freely add olive and avocado oil to salads and non-starchy vegetables. I eat most of my grams of protein through eggs, chicken, beef, and fish. I also add MCT oil and coconut cream to coffee.

    I’m sure you will find many more ideas in the books you checked out from the library. If the books include food plans, looking over them may help give you some ideas.

    Best of luck as you begin; it can be a very powerful and healing diet.

    Great reply above. I also use organic coconut cream in coffee. Olive oil & avocado oil.

    I tried a couple of non-dairy cheeses… it depends on the # of carbs, but even a small amount can add flavor to recipes & makes them more satisfying.

    Meat is your friend in this. Lots of protein, and by picking fattier cuts rather than just going lean you can meet your fat goals as well. Best of all, it is zero carb.
