Much improved moods here. Not as many hangry episodes either😜

I agree, variety is the key. This time around I’ve made it a point to find 1-2 new recipes a week to keep things interesting. There are actually several recipes that are simple and don’t require a lot of fancy ingredients. Good luck making your goal!

Due to the nature of the diet..you will encounter slight increases in cholesterol intake. But you want to make sure you are aiming towards plant based fats and foods high in poly/monosaturated fats. The goal is to increase HDL levels to decrease the LDL-HDL ratio. Hope this helps!

I agree with three points you've mentioned. However, some have the opinion that too much protein could counter act ketosis and your metabolism could switch to utilizing excess protein as primary source of energy vs fat as the primary source. Guess everyone will have a different opinion.

From my understanding you should only add pure fat sources to your coffee..coconut oil, butter, ghee, etc. But I think a true fast is no calorie source.

Based on the consensus of my reasearch..a 30% deficit is the max but extreme. Which means most will be unable to maintain, which is ultimately part of all of our goals (to adopt the keto lifestyle). I find calorie/macro cycling is effective vs extreme calorie deficits. Ex: my macros are 70/20/10. But 1-2xs a week I aim for…

My best tip for IF...your last meal needs to be highest in fat. It holds you over and you don’t feel hungry during the fasting interval.

Dark chocolate has been my go to when the craving hits. But I agree, life happens and its a better choice that choosing a high carb/high sugar treat. I am currently testing my ketones with a ketone meter. I know there is mixed emotions about it in the keto world but it offers me support until fully fat adapted. Testing…

Hey there, I am also looking for keto buddies for accountability too. My food diary is different though..I eat random foods just make my macros or because the rest of my family is eating carb laden meals that leave me to fend for myself lol. But I am trying all kinds of new recipes so you may find some you like. Feel free…

IMO...I have decided to use them sparingly and opt for more natural ingredients/recipes, just as an overall effort to be healthier. However with that said, lifestyle changes come in baby steps and any change is significant. Look at added sugar, carbs, fiber, etc. Careful with the sugar alcohols though..they can wreak havoc…

Avocado brownies with dark chocolate chips were pretty satisfying for my sweet tooth..or three ingredients peanut butter cookies 😋 (credit to pinterest)

I’m in for the January challenge. I’ve been doing keto and intermittent fasting for 3 weeks. I have been watching my macros closely just struggling with keeping my calorie in take at 1200kcal. Looking forward to the challenge and getting to know you guys!

I also have PCOS, although my insulin resistance is mild. I second what ronjsteele1 said; weight loss is about calorie deficit, but with PCOS the loss is slower if you don't manage your macros (my experience). Small frequent meals (every 3-4hrs) and pairing a carb WITH protein/fat. This what helps me conquer the satiety…
