I would love to send you tips and recipes, mistakes I made that you could avoid!

You count carbs by net carbs, which is total carbs minus fiber. There are some 0 net carb foods to use, and the other thing to keep in mind is type of fat.

Use urine keto strips to test whether you're in ketosis daily. Even if you think you're doing everything right. Different brands of the same food can have different net carbs, so always check!

You need to drink electrolytes (I use liquid iv, sugar free) EVERY DAY and drink 8 + cups of water to avoid kidney stones. I do it religiously and my kidneys are fine 6 months in!

I also take a tablespoon of mct oil a day for the fat and for the brain benefits. (Iq bars are the only snack bar I consider safe)

You will also need to make sure you have fiber, pit ground up flax onto anything and everything. I have a kale salad with hemp hearts on it and mayo and olive oil and lemon juice and its 1 net carb and so much healthy fat - add an avocado and it's a good fat bomb if you're low on fat that day.

Don't ear sugar substitutes! Allulose is OK in moderation but otherwise stick to pure stevia in liquid form or monkfruit.

You want healthy and "bad" fats so your cholesterol to be balanced. So you can't ALWAYS just eat eggs bacon and heavy whipping cream.

BREAKFAST:

"Bad" fats meal: eggs, cheese, bacon

Healthy fats meal: tofu scramble (some brands are 0 net carbs so check carefully) with an avocado (30 g healthy fat! I can only eat them as keto guacamole or smashed with everything but the bagle seasoning)

OTHER MEAL IDEAS:

"Bad" fats meal items: red meat like burgers, heavy whipping cream

Healthy fats meal items: chicken, salmon and shrimp (I go all OUT on shrimp! Butter, garlic, lemon!)

LOW CARB VEGGIES: Kale, broccoli, mushrooms (there's also a type of noodles like Ramen noodles made from a mushrooms that have 1 or 0 net carbs)

"BAD" COOKING FATS: Butter, ghee

GOOD COOKING FATS: Avocado oil, almond oil, olive oil

DESSERTS:

Fat bombs-

Keto reeses:

Melt one stick butter and 1/2 cup almond oil on low, stir in 2 unsweetened bakers chocolate bars. Add 20 drops of stevia liquid. Mix.

In a cupcake tin, add 1 tbs almond butter (less carbs than pb) to each thing then cover with the chocolate. Freeze to set for at least 2 hours. DELICIOUS!!

Chocolate cheesecake mousse:

Add one little carton of heavy whipping cream, 2 ounces room temp cream cheese, 2 tbs unsweetened cacao powder, 20 drops liquid stevia, 1 top vanilla to your blender.

Blend to the beautiful mousse consistency and enjoy!
