Keto diet - anyone else?

The tiniest portion of potato which is covered in cream and butter. I can load up on cabbage next time. So I need to ditch carrots and spuds and peas -wouldn't leave much. They have leak - am I allowed that?
As a rule-of-thumb, if it grows below ground, then drop it. (starch converts to sugar)peas and sweetcorn are around 4-6% sugar
the better options, in addition to cabbage, courgette, asparagus, cauliflower, aubergine, mushrooms, spinach, broccoli and kale come to mind

Adding more fat (cream, butter) does not remove the carbs. Keto is an extreme version of low-carb diet, so I'd say that in the context of this thread topic, no, you are absolutely not allowed that quantity of peas, or really any carrots or potatoes at all. There's no way most people could eat that and maintain ketosis, or really even claim to be on a low carb diet.If keto or low-carb is your aim, I think you've got some reading to do. Happy to help if you're struggling, but the graphics guides and recipes on diet doctor are a good start, and logging everything in MFP is essential until you get a feel for these things.

I'm genuinely trying to give this a go. Not just trolling.

How’s the OP doing?
Can anyone post a link that has some meal plans on it please? I know there has been a few of people’s own recipes posted by people on here but I just need a few staple meals to get me going!
Also a picture showing all good foods (especially fruit and veg) and all bad would’ve really helpful!
Cheers.
Just checked MyFitnessPal from November when I last used it and was eating healthy but not keto - and was eating between 100-200g of carbs a day! Sandwiches are my vice!
What’s the concensus on flavourless protein powder mikes with coconut or almond milk and frozen blueberries?
You shouldn’t need the extra protein from a shake. It’s supposed to be moderate protein at about a gram per kilogram of body weight and that should very easily be met by the normal foods you eat on Keto.

I’ve actually switched from Keto to just low-carb / high protein and after five months of Keto I naturally choose the low carb options now. I haven’t been tracking macros or calories, just eating three decent, fatty meals a day and I’ve lost another 2kg since the start of the year.
Try these pics, they’re what I started with.

Thus guy lives by the keto diet.
And this page is interesting reading, he consumed over 300g of carbs in a day and stayed in keto, due to his glycogen deficit. Mad cyclist.

He is an interesting experiment.

Okay, I'm halfway sold on Keto now.
One of my best friends lost over 70 pounds in under a year on it and kept it off (that was over two years ago now.) I tried some recipies with him along the way and this was by far the best: https://www.ruled.me/buffalo-chicken-jalapeno-popp...

That looks amazing. I’m going to make it this weekend. One of my best friends lost over 70 pounds in under a year on it and kept it off (that was over two years ago now.) I tried some recipies with him along the way and this was by far the best: https://www.ruled.me/buffalo-chicken-jalapeno-popp...
Not going to lie. Had to Google ‘broil’.

I’m looking to go back into keto. This is a smoothie I have every morning...is it acceptable or do I need to drop the oats/banana/juice?
Personally I'm either all in with Keto or nothing. I've not had porridge since I started even though I love it.
ATM, Are you sure you're not trolling? You're certainly not trying keto, that's for sure.
Ketosis isn't a grey area, folks. You can't have just a couple of Buds because it's Friday.
It's pretty much an on-off switch. You're in ketosis or you're not. The idea of ditching the carrots, and then having a couple of beers is just a joke, really. It shows a total lack of understanding. There is SO much info out there on the interwebs, and none of it says it's ok to drink alcoholic liquid bread once a week.
Do or do not, there is no try!

Once you are properly in ketosis, you won’t care what “they” have. Mainly because you won’t be hungry. Certainly not hungry enough to warrant eating stuff that may compromise your goal. If I can’t get what I want then I skip it until I can make my own.
Beer is pretty much completely off the menu if you’re serious about ketosis, so if you’re not willing to make that sacrifice then it probably isn’t for you. Glucose doesn’t care what day of the week it is
Just trying to be helpful by the way, not having a dig
