I agree with always using a tracking app to hold me accountable. I got lazy the last 3 - 4 months and have been slowly but surely getting back on track. Trying and having using different apps but I am leaning towards premium version of Cronometer over My Fitness Pal. Love your input! I am trying not to drive people crazy with talking about Keto as well.
Thank you.

Won’t

Dairy.

Occasionally nuts.

#36

@juice I will allow and accept your title edit even though I am in the US and am a trained linguist. You’re welcome :innocent:

(traci simpson) #38

I love liver and I wish I could find some affordable macadamia nuts!

(traci simpson) #39

So do you eat this plain or put it in stuff? I can only imagine how bitter it must be. I can only barely eat 80% with almond butter.

This is an interesting thread and came up for me as a “recommended” so I am going to post and resurrect it!

For me, my current list of Keto foods that I love and eat regularly are the following:

Proteins: Salmon, tuna, oysters, white fish, chicken, turkey, ham, some luncheon meats that are Keto friendly (no sugar/carbs, etc), sometimes eggs, cheese, beef,

and cream cheese.

Vegetables: cauliflower, cabbage, bok choy, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini’s, broccoli, celery, romaine lettuce, sometimes some spinach or brussel sprouts (maybe a few others but these are my main’s).

Fats: salted butter, EVOO, The Keg Caesar Dressing, Chosen Foods Avocado Mayonnaise, Sour Cream,
MCT Oil, Coconut Oil, HWC, Cream Cheese in here as well as if I am low on fats, I will eat a bit to up them =).

These are my basic foods.

The Keto foods that many people on the forum eat but that I have been avoiding (some from personal choice and some from making sure they don’t cause any relapses or binges):
Note: some of these things I might include later in life at Maintenance when I figure them out into my daily macros; then again, since that is probably not going to be for about 2 years or more, I might never add them!

I haven’t messed up and cheated on Keto since May 13 -only because I don’t have any of these around, I feel that if I did I might not be able to resist them, so I make sure that they are not available to me. I have no trouble resisting Carbage things; that all my family members are eating around me all the time. I feel that if I had Keto approved treats that I might have some, so I make sure that they are not in the house!

For those of you that have the control to control the quantities, that is great for you. Personally I simply do not want the temptation so I would rather not have them in the house =).

  1. Artificial Sweeteners
  2. Keto foods that are sold in stores
  3. Pork Rinds or any low carb Keto snacks
  4. Keto Deserts.
  5. Protein products.
  6. Keto pills of any kind.
  7. Any form of nuts or peanuts, etc.
  8. Any foods that can be Keto in small quantities.
  9. Dark Chocolate! I would never be able to only eat 2 pieces of it so I would rather not have it in the house.
  10. Keto ice cream -maybe for my birthday I will make some but maybe not!

I don’t eat eggs and or bacon a lot; although I know they are great for Keto, I do eat them sometimes but not often as I don’t really enjoy either.
