OP delivers! 🙌

The more moss was a lie

Since others have shared a lot of recipes, I’m just popping in to say that drinking a lot of water and adding electrolytes is extremely important on this diet. For real, it’s not something you wanna FAFO about, because you’ll feel like absolute shit.

There are online calculators you can use to input your age, height, weight, etc, and determine how much water you need to drink. Just don’t forget the electrolytes!

If it helps, this is what I use (it’s a bit cheaper on Amazon but I really like the company so I order direct).

Also, if you want to track your calories/carb intake, I recommend an app called Cronometer (google play link here).

Best of luck! I’ve been on keto for years now (hopping off now and then around the holidays) and can’t recommend it enough.

My doctor said something similar.

But after years of me being on keto, losing 167lbs, having an “absolutely fantastic health record” and the “healthiest bloodwork” he’s ever seen (his words), plus significant improvement in mood, memory, and mobility, and a significant reduction/elimination of pain and inflammation, he changed his mind.

He even said that most of the content he had heard or read when saying it was “a bad diet” all those years ago was “completely biased” and “worded very slyly” (also his words). After revisiting those sources, he realized they “weren’t actually describing real keto, just people eating a ton of fat” (which is not what keto is), “and crying about how bad fat is” (again, his words… which made me LOL). Also, mega bonus points for him - he actually checked into the sources and found that most of them were funded by the sugar industry.

It takes nothing to realize you’re wrong; for some people, it takes a lot to admit it. He had no problem doing so, and even recommends the diet to other patients now.

Nice.

My landlord is really awesome, I didn’t realize tipping them was a thing we should do. What’s the etiquette for this? Monthly? Only when a service is needed? Etc
