I'd like to be at a fit 145lb by end…

Hello, I am starting my keto journey on Sunday and had a few questions to ask 1. Can I use Ikan Bilis as a snack? ( teeny tiny fish, crispy and yummy) 2. Is there anyway I can make my caramel macchiato from Starbucks keto friendly? 3. If I had a chocolate cake from Paul that had 27.2g of carbs per 100g can I have 10g of…

Pho
My life changed today. Pho is my absolute favorite food and I’ve missed it so much. Made my own today with sugar free broth and shiratake noodles. It seriously tastes the EXACT same and has 1 carb per bowl. I could cry

Has anyone done any experimenting with using resistant potato starch? Ive seen a lot of benefits touted on youtube for gut health, insulin resistance and even increasing ketones. Dr Mark Hyman is the main medical proponent I've seen.

4 Months on Keto
The first image is the day I was diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic. Now it's one day shy of 4 months later and I'm down about 50 lbs. I get new a1C tests next week my BG has been in the low 90s for the past few months so I'm feeling optimistic about that. I also feel a lot better in terms of physical condition, energy, etc.
