Started Keto today!

I’m going to make Fat Bombs when I get home from work or maybe when I wake up.

I started Sunday with a weight in and plenty of eggs and bacon.

I am down from 14st 2.8 to 13st 13.1lbs since Sunday, my Ketonix has measured an increase in the past 2 days of my breath ketones.

For me I am trying to avoid snacking, for me it seems a bad habit we in the west have develop over the last 30+ years.

I only snack if I am hungry, before I snacked all the time on sugary treats (three days ago!).

Good luck everyone who is starting out as well!

Welcome to Keto and the forum!

I started Keto in September 2017 and did find that I “needed” to snack as I was coming off carbs and getting used to everything. The hardest bit was what to have at the office, which for me was solved with packets of pork scratchings, Macadamias, Pecans and Almonds and I’ve now added Coconut oil to my desk drawer for the occasional BPC during the day. At home, a slice of cheese or anything else with a good chunk of fat would do the trick, Butter, Bacon, Pepperoni, Salami, Chorizo. I also found that a pinch of rock salt under my tongue would help to curb the cravings for a while too.

I also don’t go to the cinema without a bag of Pork Stratchings so that while the kids are scoffing down their popcorn I’m not tempted to dip my hand into their bucket as I have something for myself.

Like many others have said though, the need for snacking wears off after a while and you’ll find that as you become fat adapted you just won’t crave the snacks as much.

I just found a place that has pork crisps but they say on the pack 2 grams of sugar. Am i getting the right ones also i think the keto flu hit me today as i feel run down and sluggish with a hint of a headache.
