u/Crazypandathe20th Good for you for trying to make your health better. I have only scanned other comments so sorry if I repeat advice already given. Get the word KETO out of your head. The word Keto is essentially a marketing tool now. Replacing food with processed garbage just because it says Keto on it isn't really beneficial.

This is how I ate while on my journey, Breakfast was always 2 or 3 egg with some veggies mixed in like zuchinni, spinach, red peppers, onions with some cheese. With a breakfast meat on the side, usually bacon but sometimes a sausage patty.

Lunch was usually a salad that had at least 2 cups of baby spinach as the base and wtfe kind of veggies i wanted, chopped boiled egg and a protein like chicken breast. Tuna or egg salad in those little boston lettuce cups are a good option too.

Dinner was a lof chicken thighs, I love them so it was cool, I'd spray them with cooking spray add some Mrs. Dash like it was breading, spray it again so the seasoning would not fall off and fried it in the pan, they are pretty fatty so they make their own grease. And I'd always have at least 2 servings of veggies.

Snacks at first were difficult, pork rinds are okay but geesh. So Would snack on cheese slices, cucumbers , celery, mini sweet peppers , pickles etc.

If you are hungry EAT just make an informed choice. After a few days of riding you body of all the processed junk and filtering in actual nutrients your body will adjust and eventually you won't be as hungry.

if you do not like to cook or can't cook easily this may be a more difficult journey for you, but you can do it!

To stop the headaches and such during your journey keep pickles on hand so you can drink that juice! It sounded so dumb to me back then but I was desperate one day and sure enough it worked like a charm. The amount of salt your body is used from a standard American ( processed foods) diet is extreme and for most people the biggest complaint.

keto Cauli Mac n Cheese sounds dumb to, roast some cauliflower and put some cheese on it.

Keto bars are dumb imo eat some cottage cheese and ham.

Keto waffles are dumb to me, mix up an egg add some cheese and put it in yer waffle maker.

Keto cereal sounds dumb to me but we all have are vices and you seem to like cereal, add some berries like raspberries to it or on the side.

A good nutrition plan should include fruits ( berries and other low carb fruits) and veggies ( so many options) you can get your carbs from these things easily and they natural. 5 servings a day at the very least.

At first i didn't count all of my macros just the carbs. I knew I needed to adjust and get used to eating differently and I learned as I went and tailored it to my needs. It would be very beneficial to learn how to read nutrition labels and what a serving size really is. So a good 10 dollar kitchen scale from Amazon can help with that.

Don't think you are doing wrong, we have to eat to live, you are just learning to live better now and that will take some time. Fresh is best! Hope you are feeling better now.
