    For milk drinkers, try diluting heavy cream with cold water. While it doesn't have the same flavor as regular milk, it is very tasty and boosts your fat intake with essentially no carbs.

    After giving birth to my first child about ten years ago, I joined a popular weight loss group in my area. At first, I thought it was amazing – you could eat as much food from an allowed list as you like, and you could still have treats like crisps and chocolate as long as you counted them. I lost a lot of weight quite quickly but got to a point where I just couldn’t stick to this plan anymore. I had an uncontrollable urge to eat everything that wasn’t allowed on the diet plan. Ultimately, I just ended up binge eating everything I wasn’t supposed to be eating. At this point, my mental health had taken a nosedive. I suffered from terrible social anxiety and was at a complete loss. I saw one of my online friends was having great success with a ketogenic way of eating. It sparked my interest, and I ended up doing extensive research and came across an article about keto and decided to try it. Within a few weeks, my mental health was so much better. My head felt clearer, and my anxiety was decreasing. But more importantly, the constant urge to binge has gone. I finally felt like my life was not revolving around food.
  • One note on cheese. I stay away from pre-packaged shredded cheeses because they include additives that keep it from sticking together. Buy a block of cheese and shred it yourself. Yes, I know, it’s a pain in the neck, but it’s totally worth it!
  • Miss pasta? Shredded cabbage fried in olive oil with some minced garlic added is a pretty good substitute.

    I’m the middle child out of eight, so I started using food as a substitute for attention and comfort from a very early age. Because diabetes runs in my family, I was well aware that it would likely affect me at some point. I simply carried on eating what I thought was a somewhat healthy diet. In May of 2019, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My doctor put me on meds. Even with the meds things went the wrong way. I realized I needed to change my way of eating in order to improve my health. Fortunately, my nurse recommended a keto website. And decided to try keto diet. Ever since i went on keto, my type 2 diabetes started gradually improving. I gradually lowered my diabetes medication, untili could go off it completely by February, 2021.
  • When I was growing up in the UK we were advised to eat fewer eggs because they were full of cholesterol, but now we are told they are good for you.

    It is so hard staying on the keto wagon alone. Hubby refuses. Thank you for the video. I love Mozzarella 💕 and parmesan

    I think it's worth mentioning that when you are just starting your keto diet, and probably not into ketosis yet, steer clear of dairy. I don't remember the science behind it, but as your body is making this massive shift from burning carbs to burning fats, dairy, especially cheeses, can cause yeast infections and constipation. It's almost a guarantee and it happens quickly. So wait a few weeks until you're fully into ketosis, then add cheeses and dairy in very small amounts over a few weeks and pay attention to how they make you feel. Make sure to take some magnesium supplements before bed if you're feeling constipated. You're likely to get a great sleep and wake up ready to eliminate the back-up. lol Also important, get some electrolytes. Not gatorade or anything, obviously, and not powdered ones with sugar alcohols and added vitamins like vitamin C, which will kick you out of your fast if you are intermittent fasting. Choose electrolytes brands that have just electrolytes and make sure you get some before bed. Along with the magnesium, it will help with leg cramps as well. Keto makes you pee alot in the first few weeks. And that drains your body's natural minerals. So replace them with either an electrolyte mix or start consuming ALOT of either Himalayan pink salt of a good Atlantic or Celtic sea salt, which are all loaded with minerals that we need. You can have 1-2 Tablespoons of this salt daily and it won't hurt you like that junk iodized table salt. Don't use that shit. The pink or sea salts will balance and retain your electrolyte balance. We've been told all our lives to not eat so much salt. But they were talking about regular table salt and salt used in processed foods. Pink salt or good sea salt is different and you actually need quite a bit of it. I put a pinch in my coffee to take out any bitterness (an old native American trick) so you need less sugar to sweeten it. That's sugar alternatives on keto, of course. A couple pinches of good salt all day long is good and be generous with it in cooking. That's my 2 cents for today for those just starting the ketosis journey. Give yourself up to 4 weeks to really get going, although some get into it faster. There's lots more to learn, especially in that first month, so read up to avoid stuff like the Keto flu, not being able to sleep, and so on. Once you get there it will totally be worth it. As long as you know that the Keto diet is not one to play around with. Since you are consuming alot of fat and protein, if you suddenly decide you're going to eat a whole chocolate cake.....you've kicked yourself out of ketosis and all that fat and protein you ate earlier is now going straight to fat on your body. Because you just returned your body to using sugar as fuel. Don't do that. There's no grey area here. You either do keto or you don''t. There lots of ways to get some sweets on keto these days. There's loads of keto friendly recipes. So go for those rather than sabotage the last 3 weeks of your life!. Sorry for the short story. But I wanted to make a few things more clear to people who are just starting out on keto. Get 20-30 grams of carbs per day. Try intermittent fasting, cause that speeds things up alot. And work out while you're in your fast. It's amazing!! Transforms your body and your life in a matter of a few months. It's a lifestyle. A forever thing. Like our ancestors way, way back.

    I find low carb easy to follow; avoid sugar and starch as much as possible. I have one to two slices of low carb bread a day. I don't eat rice or potatoes, have a lower carb pasta, half a cup, cooked. I make a Keto oatmeal with hemp hearts, flax meal, almond milk, etc. I walk briskly 30 minutes a day which needs to be more. It's a work in progress. I'm trying to reduce portions and the Keto snacks. I've lost about 20 pounds in five months.

    Good to hear advice from a British doctor, My favourite cheese is Red Leicester. Melted into a small amount of creme fraiche( <1g carb per 25g) makes a wonderful cheese sauce for cauliflower.
  • @diann546
    I dehydrate unblanched brocolli shreds for noodles. I dehydrate unblanched riced cauliflower for rice. To rehydrate add boiling water. To conserve energy or if off grid, do this in a thermos. Once it has reached the consistency you like, drain excess liquid and pat dry. Top with sauce of your choice.
  • I have to agree with the comments here that it's great to see you back. Your videos are so informative, thorough and inspiring. I've learned so much from your videos.
  • @GDixon-ch3yl
    1. Meat 2. Seafood 3. Organ meats 4. Eggs 5. Fats, unprocessed 6. Dairy, with no lactose, cheese with no carbs. 7. Vegetable but the carbs vary greatly, generally nonstarchy ones 8. Fruit, none are zero. 9. Nuts and seeds be careful of your choices. ( Peanuts are legumes) 10. Condiments, non-sugar ones like mustard, a bearnaise sauce, vinegars etc.

    As a ketchup substitute I buy tomato paste by the tube. It gives a tomatoey flavor without the sugar. Once my taste buds acclimated to not eating sweet things I found I could enjoy all kinds of things that used to need sugar in order for them to taste good.

    Cabbage; and greens in general are the best and will keep your colon happy. Avocado is great for potassium also. Make your ça own mayo with 1 cup light tasting extra virgin olive oil and 1 large egg.. add a tsp Dijon and it’ll vinegar it a little and add flavour. To turn it into Cesar add garlic and 1 tsp anchovy paste salt and peppercorn and 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese.
