Going back

After a really long time I might try to start the keto diet again. But now I’m not as much of a meat eating person as I was before and I’m lactose intolerant… any tips/advice to make it easier?

thanks!

I requested this menu once and deleted it once I saw the suggested breakfast was oatmeal… :unamused:

If you do eggs, they can add a lot of good quality protein without a lot of carbs to go with. Fish is good, if you do fish, though finding decent quality fish can sometimes be harder or more expensive. I don’t know if you can do cheeses or not with the lactose intolerance, some can, some can’t.

FWIW, I don’t eat a lot of red meat either, maybe once or twice a week. I do eat fish and poultry as well as eggs, cheeses, yogurt and cream. I’m not on a schedule and it will vary from week to week. If there is something I want more or less of, I adjust to meet that desire. I don’t honestly know if the signals of what I want have anything to do with what I need, some would say that they may. (It happens for certain veggies, too. After I broke my leg a few years ago, I had an insatiable appetite for broccoli. Who’d a thunk?!)

Good luck! You can do it. You just need to find the foods that you can eat and try to develop a good set of foods that will give you the nutrition you need.

Eating a HFLC diet doesn’t have to high in protein. This can easily be met by consuming only 8-12 ounces of meat per day as the sole protein source. It can be reduced by adding nuts and seeds to the mix.

After watching too many videos about the process of making dairy products, I now limit my dairy consumption. In recipes that call for milk or cream, I use coconut milk or coconut cream.
