I'm thinking about trying keto starting next week. Have been reducing carbs, although not too successfully, so I think I just need to jump in. Any recs for getting started? Any foods...

Didn’t see the second part of your post. I find keto from home is easier. Butter coffee for breakfast, chicken/tuna salad with leafy salad and fatty dressing for lunch, protein and veggies for dinner. Load everything up with MCT oil or butter

I used the caveman keto meal plan to get started. Helps that you’re at home and can prep meals, that was the biggest thing for me. Easier to stay on track if the food is already ready to go

Ketologie shakes are a good alternative to butter coffee and also a good meal replacement

One of the best things about keto is you can Google “keto [any food]” and almost always find a recipe! In general, here’s what I keep around:

Pantry: almond meal, coconut flour, nuts, swerve (sweetener), pork rinds, Moon Cheese, canned tuna, vitamins, Morton’s Lite Salt (helps with potassium — definitely read up on electrolyte needs!).

Fridge: ground meat or steaks, deli meat, cream cheese, shredded cheese, sugar-free mayo, grass-fed butter, eggs, spinach, zucchini, riced cauliflower, strawberries, jalapeños.

I should have in mass quantities? I work mostly from home, so traveling and trying to find keto friendly meals is not the issue. Willpower, however, will be my biggest issue.

like

Turkey bacon, eggs, lamb chops, salmon, heavy cream, avocado. You can survive on it.

Breakfast:
Avocado
2 boiled eggs
Creamer cheese spread on salmon
Coffee or tea with heavy cream

Lunch:
Tuna salad
Turkey lettuce wrap

Dinner:
Lamb or salmon or both with
Any sautéed veggies in a lot of butter

Lamb and salmon is really easy to make

I don't drink coffee - any good alternatives to something like that?

M1 - water fast, like nothing but water???

you can nimble about 10g (e.g cheese) a day but yes water fast for 2-3 days. will kick off you keto state then start your keto diet after that.

listen to your body and don’t stretch to much though

Yeah - no way water fast will work for me... unless I can somehow manage to pick up a stomach bug over the weekend 😂

My fiancée almost lost her life to a medical emergency. The doctor needed me to stay home 2 weeks to supervise her post-operative care once the hospital discharged her.

One professor removed me from a graded argument the week after I’d return.

It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?
