I've been doing a lazy version of keto for about ten days now - LifeSums easy ketogenic program, to be precise, which allows for a maximum of 100g carbs/day. I usually end up staying under 50g though. Pretty sure I'm in ketosis now.
On the one hand, I love not having to count calories as strictly, and I'm way less hungry than I was on plain CICO. Because of medication that makes it hard to lose weight I have to stay on a very strict deficit, and that's tough to do in my experience with a relatively high carb diet. Very consistent tracking also makes me nervous. It also obviously works. I'm aware part of it is water weight, but I am losing consistently, at a healthy rate. I also really like that I can eat more of the foods I actually like. The good parts of a meal are after all the veg and protein (to me at least).
On the other hand, I made cauliflower crust pizza last night and realised halfway through that I don't want to become the type of person that only eats vegetable crust pizza and cheese. That doesn't feel like the way to go for someone like me, who honestly loves investing a lot of time in cooking, and has developed amazing recipes for yeast-based dough.
So, I was wondering if anyone on (any type of) low carb diet has any advice for me, or just experiences in general. Did you feel like you missed out a lot? How do you feel about carby cheat meals?
