I’m only in day 9. I track all that I eat. I love to cook so variety is good for me. I tend to plan my meals for 1-2 days out. I try to have a reasonable (keto) ratio for carbs/fats/protein at each meal. For me measuring my ketones is a good habit 2/day. Also, Look at a couple of recipes for “fat bombs” if you are not meeting your required fat allowance. I’ve tried a couple of Dr Axe’s recipes. YUMMY! Hope this helps but I’m still a true novice! 😊

When I turned 40 in 2016 I told my husband that I didn’t want to be 40 and fat 😔. Did research, consulted with a bariatric surgeon who specializes in food addiction (mainly carbs/sugar). He advised that I follow a ketogenic diet (gave me a simplistic meal plan to follow). I’ve been following it for a 1.5 years and down almost 60 lbs. I’ve plateaued for about four months, but am making small adjustments and seeing results. I didn’t have bariatric surgery (wasn’t qualified) I see this bariatric doctor once a month (he calls it AA for overweight people). With his help, guidance and support, I’ve finally come to terms that I have an addiction to carbs/sugar. It’s no different than drugs/alcohol addiction, just a different drug. For the record, I had annual physical and my numbers (good/badcholesterol, glucose, etc.) are 🔥 🙌🏼
