As I backed off hard-core Keto (I am back to traveling for work, and it's hard to stick to keto while traveling) I have put a little weight back on, though I have been holding steady for about 8 months.
I do love a good Ribeye, and it is nice to have it without feeling guilty about my health. I use Olive Oil, butter, and Coconut oil as my primary fats. I avoid vegetable oils when I can. I am not a fanatic about that, but I prefer the better fat composition of my primaries, and I prefer the taste... seed oils taste kinda "off" to me now.
I still avoid breads and grains, but do occasionally indulge in an actual slice of pizza. I rarely eat anything with added sugar. When I do, it's very clearly a "treat." I have starting eating a few more carby veggies, like peas and other beans. Not a ton. But I do enjoy a little variety with my non-carby veggies.
My A1C is holding steading in the 5's, and triglycerides remain low. I'm feeling pretty good, too!
