Hey Im new here and i love this diet day 3 lol. I need to learn a lot. Whats a cheap easy way to tell if you are in ketosis and what shpuld i avoid eatimg lots of? So far Ive just stuck to brocli and cauliflower,spinnach,cabbage,onion, avacado in my meals for carbs and for protien just pork and eggs. Im going off my samsung health to see where my macros are at so far so good. But Im flying blind when it comes to my meals I wiegh about 400lbs and i want to drop atleast half of that so if you all could point me the right way for meal plans that would be awesome.

Any root vegetable will have a fair amount of carbs because that’s where the plant stores it’s “energy” to grow.
