The funny thing is, since going Keto, I eat more vegetables than ever, they’re just the right vegetables.
For me I try to keep it simple. Eat a balanced diet, meats, dairy, fish, carbs, veggies, fruits, green smoothies and red wine. Sweet snacks are ok too but not too much. Moderate amounts of food, exercise and rest. Never been significantly overweight in my life and although have to take meds to keep the BP in check no other major health issues at age 63.
Have some small steaks marinating and waiting to be grilled. I try not to overdo anything.
Mr. mm wanted to lose weight and I told him that for every meal we had at home I’m provide two low carb veggies.
He also started cutting his white flour intake.
I suggested to him that when he eats, if he’s going to do pasta, eat the meats and the veggies first and fill up on those, and THEN do the pasta. Then he wouldn’t eat so much because he wouldn’t be chowing down on that when he was really hungry and eating too much as a result.
We have found that gradual changes are much easier to adapt to than a massive overhaul of the diet.
