Hello I’m barely on my first week of this keto diet feeling a little lost lol. I work a graveyard shift from 12:30 am through 6:30 am. I get off take the kids to school then I go home make breakfast at 9am and either go to sleep until kids get out of school(2:30) or clean my house either way it’s hard for me to do intermittent fasting because I Don’t sleep much during the day and I still have to cook normal food for the family I will have my last meal around 5pm and I won’t eat until 9am but because I work all night I sometimes feel I don’t know bored? Hungry? How can I managed my work schedule with this keto diet and still cook for the rest of my family. please help

I wouldn’t worry about fasting at this point!! A lot of people who follow keto decide to fast at some point and while there are definite health benefits to fasting it is not required in order to follow a keto WOE!! Good luck!!

Not to sound insensitive, but if you’re doing ALL that, and feeding your family, THEY EAT WHAT YOU EAT!

I agree with @Amy_R0922, don’t worry about the fasting, it’s what you’re eating that’s important (HINT: LOW CARB). And we know a low carb diet will be better for your family anyway.

That’s my two cents. :wink: Good luck!

Keto is easy for dinner to cook for other people. Protein + Vegetables. You can also make separate carbs on the side for them like potatoes, bread, or pasta.
