Instead of stressing try simplifying. YouTube Dr Westin. For simplified keto rules. He doesn't require his clinic patients to look at macros. Most important is to track carbs and not go over 20 (some people can get away with more.) Then eat some protein and enough fat to keep from getting hungry. Most macro golas overdo…

Thanks a few of my YouTube favs in a podcast. I like listening to podcasts while I'm driving

So true that it rarely tastes as good as what I'm expecting. I find that eating one In n Out French fry when my husband eats them makes me realize that and not feel deprived. This may not work for all foods.

I used to eat breakfast religiously but now i just have a large mug of tea with 1T cream. My first meal is lunch except on Sundays when we go out to breakfast at about 9am. But on Sundays I'm not usually hungry for and skip lunch.

I aim for 20 grams (not net) but I don't sweat it if I go a few over. Usually 1 day a week, I don't track so probably am higher that day.

I've seen that before. Vary funny. Loved it.

That is simple and sound delicious. Thanks!

I love an ounce of almonds and I use Laughing Cow cheese wedge for dip.

Are you insulin resistant, diabetic or pre-diabetic? It can take a while for keto diet changes to start showing up on the scale. Not everyone has a big initial loss. I personally feel it helped me to eat more fat initially and not worry so much about calories.

Cheetos. The hard crunchy ones not puffs. Will eat til I'm sick.

First month of keto, i had a few facial pimples and im 65! Just figured it was my body adjusting to macro changes.

Too late now but I've found it better to not tell extended family and friends what I'm doing diet-wise. Often they feel self conscious about what they are eating in front of you. They don't want to feel bad about the choices they are making, so they attack your attempt to eat healthy. If someone asks why I'm not eating…

There is a lot of talk online about too much protein causing insulin. However, I've heard Dr Hickman quote studies that show protein only causes insulin in SAD diets and not really a problem with low carb fat adapted people.

Are you subtracting fiber from your carbs? Net carbs make it easier to stay in carb limits and I would reccomend doing that when you're first starting out.

Today I went out for lunch and had a bacon and cheddar omlette.

I have a big cup of tea every morning. I use 2 teabags 1 green tea for the health benefits and then black, chai or earl grey for taste. With a T heavy cream, some Toarani sugar free flavored syrup (right now Salted Caramel) and a pkt of Truvia.

I eat keto but my husband just tries to eat less carbs and my mom (who lives with us) loves all carbs. So I usually eat protein and veg and just add carbs to their meal (potato, rice etc) as desired. If i make something like tacos or spaghetti, i put my meat and sauce over cauli rice instead of tortillas or pasta.

I don't specifically try to hit a certain calorie limit. Yet I find when I eat keto when hungry and stop before I get too full, I usually end up about the same calories as when I used to do only CICO.

There's a setting button in upper right corner of your post that will let you edit. However it's only there for one hour. If you don't see the button, touch the corner and it appears.

I agree. Same for me.
