It’s not easy following a new diet. The keto diet can be daunting at first – it’s all about low carb, really. They say eat up to 20g net carbs only each day. That’s pretty low and can be scary at first. This low carb foods list can help guide you along the path. People hate change usually, but if we can find a healthy clean eating alternative, it will make our lives easier.

This one of the coolest ideas I have seen a while. Definitely a good resource for anyone who is struggling with cravings and learning the first steps of the keto diet. One thing that may be missing is snacks. The first months of the keto diet were pretty hard. Until I swapped my usual snacks like candies or fruits to cheese dips and beef jerky.
I’m sure this is not a new idea, but I haven’t seen it listed….replace bread with lettuce leaves for a sandwich….spread some mayo on the leaf…..
