New to this diet

Hi I’m Sandy and I need to lose 60 pounds quickly or be put on insulin and bp meds. I’m told this is a good diet but I don’t understand the whole macros and counting carbs and proteins so any advise is appreciated Thank

    Read on line, or as I rather do watch u tube videos. There are thousands on keto. My Fav is keto connect but find what you like then watch and learn. It can be confusing at first but gets easier. The best way I found is to chart every thing that goes in your mouth on this app. Then watch your macros. Keep them in balance. Approx. 70% of calories from healthy fats! This keeps you satisfied and feeling full. 25% protein and 5% or less carbs. Drinking plenty of water shouldn't be difficult as you do feel thirsty more but make sure you are getting your electrolytes or you start feeling sick "the dreaded keto flu". If you have more questions along the way, feel free to message me. I lost 180 lbs this way. Went off track a bit and gained 50 but I'm back on track and have lost 30 lbs at last check (I prefer to go by how I feel and how my clothes fit). Good luck. I'm sure you can do this...

    sandy_gorski99517 yes. Avocados, avocado oil, olive oil, butter (Marigold is the best in my opinion but more expensive). Also heavy whipping cream, cream cheese...
