re: Need tips for quitting carbs

You really just need to identify your weaknesses when it comes to sugar/carbs. Sounds like it may be fast food for you. My weaknesses are ice cream, beer, and pizza. Once those are identified, focus on cutting back/eliminating them. When I started my diet, I cut pizza and ice cream out completely and limited myself to beer just on the weekends. Once I got into the habit of not eating pizza or ice cream, the cravings for both went away. I have since re-introduced both into my diet, but in much more reasonable portions. Whereas I used to eat 3-5 pieces of pizza, I limit myself to 2 now. Whereas I used to have a big bowl of ice cream every night, I limit myself to 2 small ones a week.

Like someone said, it's a lifestyle change, and after the first few weeks it's a lot easier than I thought it would be.

You've gotta do most of your cooking at home and track every last ingredient. It will be hard at first, and you'll be hungry, but it will pass, and you'll start shedding weight.

I lost almost 10 pounds my first week on Keto (obviously a lot of water, but progress pics showed a big change in body composition even after just a week.

You've got to make sure you get enough fat to keep you full. It seems counter intuitive to load up on fat to lose weight, but it works.

Join r/keto on reddit, or at least read through it. So much help and support there. Good luck.

A bowl of ice cream every night?

Yep. Love that shite.

Every night was a stretch, but there weren't many nights I didn't have a bowl of ice cream.

Sup fam lol.

You just have to find more options to eat.
Low carb Recipe database You can make anything you want but a low-carb version. Biscuits, cake, pizza. Instead of eating canes you can easily make some almond crusted chicken tenders.

If cooking is not your thing, just about everywhere is has easy low-carb options. Mexican has a great chicken breast with vegetables and cheese and tortilla soup minus the tortillas , Chinese place has egg foo young, Lebonese has great salad. Jimmy johns has unwich.

I like to eat berries and whip cream, and a couple tablespoons of Breyers a low-carb ice cream. Or mix marscapone cheese with cocoa powder and Splenda.

that's the hardest thing about the diet, you have to cook, be prepared.

Just got to have the will power.

start slow, work your way to it.
