Eve, my hubby and I have been on the Keto Diet for about 4 months, now. He has lost 40 pounds and I have lost 20. I downloaded a free app to my Kindle called Lazy Keto. It is helps with ideas for meals, especially if entertaining. But, we stick to eating mostly fish and salads. We add in an occassional beef steak and chicken to vary the proteins. We are also being more strict in that we do not eat any fruit because of sugar content. We have found avacados are a major source for "good oil" and eat them each day. Hubby has had little trouble dropping the pounds but I struggle. I think women lose slower unless on an exercise regiment. I finally found a food item that has caused me to be satisfied and feel energized. It is called, "Keto Fit" and can be purchased at Costco. It is a morning milkshake that I mix with water, adding in a half avacado, and cocoa powder or suger-free caramel stevia sweetener. I sip on this well into the afternoon. Besides the weight, this diet makes me feel much more alert...less foggy and depressed morning feelings. It is the easiest diet I have ever used and hubby and I intend to make this our culinary lifestyle now. The key to this diet is consuming enough "good" oils, few carbs, and approved sugar replacements. I hope you adjust to this way of eating and see great results with it. ?
