(3,528 posts)Im doing the Keto diet also and have lost 20-30 lbs. Im not strictly counting my carb intake, so my weight loss has been slow, but I DO feel more energy and I fill up a lot quicker. And, I have NO problem with the diet itself; last night was grilled salmon with oven roasted veggies; absolutely delish! Maybe tonight will be a slow roasted pot roast surrounded by root veggies! Getting hungry thinking about it!
Id say the hardest gap to fill is snack foods. No chips, corn or other, nothing to dip in my guac, no sugars...its hard to find no carb snacks! And, keto advocates tend to smother everything in cheese and creamy sauces, and Im trying to cut down on dairy. Im not 100% sold on the health benefits of a strict keto diet, and once Im happy with my weight I plan to introduce foods I consider healthy but are strictly forbidden on keto (fresh fruits, brown rice, whole grain pasta), but just keep them to a minimum.
