I was a little worried about keto flu symptoms, so I started to cut down gradually each week on my carbs for about 2 months before I went \u201cfull keto\u201d and I didn\u2019t find I had many cravings for carbs at all once I was, and really haven\u2019t suffered at all. I was a major pasta lover before but making zucchini string pasta really helped me get over that hurdle as it\u2019s delicious. Especially since you can make sauces with full fat ingredients!

"content_html": "I love the Keto Diet concept and have been eating low carbs for about 6 weeks now...but I have a lot of trouble with the idea of eating more fats.....it goes against everything I have been doing over the years. What fats do you suggest as being the simplest to add to the keto diet....I don't really want to start making low carb snacks and desserts as I strive to not over-eat which I think has been my problem in the past. I have lost weight since starting the keto diet, but would like to \"refine\" what I'm doing to ensure continued weight loss....I really like the way I feel on this way of eating. I am not eating a lot of meat...very conscious of keeping protein down, and I have a real problem with having to count carbs, protein, and fats. I try to negate having to \"count\" macros by keeping my portion sizes way down...for eg: dinner on a bread and butter plate. Thanks for all your helpful information on your website.",

"content_html": "In reply to Shanley Stepaniuk.\n\nIt's not so much about the number as it is about the percentage. Something could be only 5 grams of carbs (like a teaspoon of sugar) but it is 100% carbs! So make sure to look at the serving size as well as the carb count. Also, keep in mind, fiber can often be subtracted from the total carbs to get \"net carbs\". This way, many vegetables are considered low carb since the fiber they contain is not digested by the human body, and thus doesn't affect blood sugar.\n\nRefer to this list of low carb friendly foods, as well as this low carb vegetable look-up. Hope that helps!",

"content_html": "In reply to Josie Garner.\n\nIt takes approximately 3 days to achieve ketosis if eating under 30g carbs per day because our body can't store too many carbs (glycogen) and uses up all reserves in the liver and muscles in that time frame. It's even faster if you work out because your body burns the glycogen. You can do a quick Google search and find plenty of supporting information about the 3 day period to hit ketosis when eating low carb. From there, it's a matter of maintaining it by continuing to eat low carb and reaping the full benefits over the coming weeks and months.",

These numbers will vary based on what brand of ingredients you use, how well you weigh your food and how you prepare it. Take these numbers as guidelines and use well known and reputable apps like MyFitnessPal to calculate your macros as well as you possibly can.

"content_html": "In reply to John.\n\nHey John,\n\nCarbs work similarly to alcohol in terms of activating dopamine and receptors for pleasure and addiction. There is an actual physical withdrawal which manifests as a keto flu after stopping carbs within the first few days. This all goes away after a week or two so it's important to remember you goals and focus on the reasons you decided to make this lifestyle change. In addition, getting rid of any tempting items from your home when starting keto can help prevent a weak moment from hurting your chances of success. \n\nPlease remember, if you fail you can immediately start again and keep trying until you succeed!",

"content_html": "When I try to start the keto diet, after 4 days I crave simple carbs. As a recovered alcoholic and addict with many years of sobriety, I find the feelings to be exactly like the obsession and compulsion I experienced as an active addict. Although I have no compulsion to use substances, I find the compulsion to use to use simple carbs the same. A feeling I find disturbing and don't understand. Can you advise?",
