I didn’t have a lot of luck the first time. But I recently started again and I am down 10 lbs and my A1C dropped. I am doing things differently this time around, I am using an app which helps me really keep track of the carbs. There were a lot of “hidden” carbs I wasn’t aware of. The packaging says “zero” carbs but 2-3 servings will add up, lol.

I gave up the low carb breads that are supposedly lower in carbs but they stall my progress. Same with fruit and certain veggies (carrots).

The hardest thing for me on keto is to eat enough fat, lol. So I am adding butter to my eggs and heavy cream to my coffee. When I upped my fats, my weight loss increased 👍

Definitely butter. Every morning I have two eggs with cheese fried with real butter on a carb balanced tortilla. Maybe I’ll just eliminate the tortilla.

I used to buy the 93% lean ground beef, but now go for the 80%. And more fast tastes better.

The carb friendly ice cream is 🤮.

For me, it was surprisingly easy the first time, but now it’s more of a struggle.

Yes - carrots are loaded with sugar. Same for bananas. I assumed beans would be good but they’re not.
