Keto is easy.
- Prepare my own food
- No obvious starches: grain products, root vegetables, beans or winter squash
- No sugars or sweets
- No prepared spaghetti sauces or ketchup
- Yes to safe vegetables:
asparagus
bamboo shoots
broccoli
bean sprouts
bell peppers
cabbage
cauliflower
cucumber
salad greens
radishes
daikon
collard, kale, mustard, spinach, etc greens
Pretty much all cruciferous vegetables
tomatoes
onions
Meats
full fat cottage cheese
cheeses in moderation
No fruit
nuts and seeds in moderation
no more than a single shot of liquor daily
And work out 5/7 days a week.
I've stuck to this for 2 weeks now with no breaks, and I've dropped more than 10 lbs. Yes, most of that was in the first 4 days.
My runs (on the elliptical, I have shitty joints) have been good; I average 35 minutes each workout. My lifting isn't really good; I run before I lift, so I run out of gas sooner than I used to. And I can't lift as much or do as many reps on keto, but I won't aggravate my arthritis.
I promised myself a cheat when I get below 200 lbs. 21 lbs to go.
