This together with little beef, some chicken and other meats sounds a nice variety! I did vegetarian keto, wasn’t hard with my generous carb allowance but giving up plants for meat made it sooo much easier and better. Not like I don’t go off all the time but my typical days are nice and no challenge. Or not much, depends on what is around me…
Same but I don’t find it hard to buy sausages without additives… You don’t have that option there? Meat, fat, salt, spices, that’s it, we have this kind. Still, I wouldn’t want much processed food, it’s just some extra when in need. (Useful for fat fast days too…)
Many people need to cut out lots of potentially good keto food, we all have our tastes and sensitivities, your diet still sounds quite varied and you can cook, that helps. I always cooked for myself but when I went low-carb ages ago, I made very nearly everything myself as I had no other good options but it was fine. I just wasted so much time on new recipes I never use now… Oh well. I surely learned some things from it.
Sounds good, I will look it up… I make simple soups and they are nice but not exciting and my need for soup just goes lower and lower so I barely make soup nowadays. And I am a Hungarian, soup for every lunch was basic in my younger days, I do want multi course meals…
I see zero problem with it, I used carrots and peas on my original keto myself, they were totally needed in my soups and they are very tasty.
I used way carbier items, I still do, on carnivore, what’s wrong with that? I won’t unnecessarily restrict myself. The vast majority of my carbs comes from quite low-carb items anyway, I had times when egg was the first “culprit”… Not like animal sugars seem to matter to my body so I ignore those.
You eat berries so why wouldn’t you eat carrots? Just because some people came up with the idea of “no below ground vegs on keto”? I never cared about that as it was a horrid idea for my individual case (and ate my daily chocolate covered frozen banana too. Anything is keto to me as long as I can keep the carbs low). I would have quit keto without my carrots and peas and banana in days, I needed them. Now I don’t.
Sometimes eating 3g carbs from something really sugary (but not added sugar or highly processed, hopefully) helps not eating much more carbs from low-carb, “keto” vegs to feel okay as a newbie. Do what works for you! It never was a good idea to deprive myself so I didn’t. I do train myself, going stricter, it helps my desires to change in the right direction (and I tend to follow my desires and really dislike feeling forced to do things right when desiring something else, resisting temptation is tiresome to impossible so this must be my way).
Very true, sometimes it’s quite drastic! I lost interest in most vegs and almost can’t skip meat for a day while I couldn’t eat it every month in the past… I liked meat, I just didn’t want it that often…
Of course, sometimes change is a necessity, we stop eating certain things we figured out bad for us… And sometimes we need to fill the void with something new.
