Does anybody here follow the keto diet?
I have been for the past 5 weeks.
Foods are delicious, my staples are:
eggs (omelettes = best)
avocado (guac is so good)
MEATS
bacon
ground beef (grass fed)
ground bison
ground pork
salmon
sardines
mackerel
CHEESE
goat cheese
parmesan
gouda
cheddar
mozzarella
OILS
olive oil (extra virgin)
avocado oil
NUTS
macadamia nuts (omega 7 & 9)
pistachios
pecans
walnuts
almonds
brazil nuts (selenium)
NUT BUTTERS
almond butter
peanut butter (powder form too + mix with cocoa)
walnut butter (not as good as almond tbh)
VEGETABLES
cauliflower
broccoli
asparagus
brussel sprouts
SNACKS
cacao (100% cacao, and I sweeten with erythritol | monkfruit | stevia)
keto bars (bhu brand)
pork rinds
I don't really eat snacks whenever, I place them with my meals to maximize ketosis.
I can go for 8+ hours inbetween meals.
I also fast 3 days a week, and I think that has helped with ketone production
Of course, I make sure to minimize omega 6 fats like almonds and peanuts
which is why I mostly eat macadamia nuts and pistachios
My carb contents is around 36g a day, and most are fiber, meaning my net carbs
is around 16; my sugar intake is 1 to 2 grams a day, although want 0 tbh
I made a lisp program to keep track of my macros and I source the data from
Chronometer, would be nice to use an API but I type it in manually
This program is fairly robust (2K LOC, but mostly data), but I'd like to make it more polished and have more features.
I started my weight loss journey 6 months ago at 180lb, right now I'm at 130lb
so I maintain with keto, wish I had done keto a while ago though
I recommend this diet tbh.
