What happened to your appendix?? 🥹

That's wonderful to hear and better then never at all!

Fantastic 🎉👍

You're eating a perfect diet. About as healthy as you can get.

Drop the greens

😉👌

So repeating the most common sense list ever. Got it.

Celery. Mushrooms. Tomatoes. Onions. Nuts.

X3?

@simonsheena8718 -thank you for the summary🌟

Good for you! I had a month in before I fell off the wagon with sugar, real sugar. It helps me to allow around 30 carbs and ween myself down further as time goes. Keep up all your hard work.

I can't go over 20 net carbs per day.

What's great about these types of foods in dr Westman's diet (which are pretty much the same in everyone who does keto) is that they're satisfying and satiating without having to track down calories. I have absolutely no idea how many calories in eat in a day with keto, I just eat to satiety, and all my weight, BMI, blood pressure, glycemia etc are perfect without even trying. Which means that I'm getting all the nutrients my body needs. No useless calorie counting or fighting every 3-4 hours against ravenous hunger (I do easily 20 hrs/day fasting).

Amen

Indeed I think eggs are perfect but I haven't been able to eat them I over 4 years after developing an intolerance to them particularly the whites. I tried to eat just the yolks a couple of months back - I thought I might have to call for an ambulance I felt so unwell😮😢

Mmmm. Are your pickles raw and natural (no vinegar)? If so, can you share the brand and where you find them? Thanks! I'm in NC, but hopefully I can find them here.

When you sat RAW suuerkraut, not the king you make with hotdogs or bratwurst?

​@@moviegoer9021 When he said "raw sauerkraut," I took him to mean not just uncooked but the authentic stuff made by fermenting vegetables to get a natural brine, rather than what you are probably referring to, which is a processed food made by soaking the vegetables in a vinegar solution. The authentic type, when raw, is full of bacteria beneficial to the gut the way yogurt or kefir or any raw fermented food is. But once it's cooked, of course, those bacteria are destroyed. And the processed type that you are probably referring to is also not nearly as beneficial. But yes, the raw type can be used on hot dogs and bratwurst too. It will just be healthier AND more flavorful.

@@cherylh4688 Where would you find this for sale?Thanks for your reply, Do you have constipation on keto?

@moviegoer9021. You are very welcome, MovieGoer! And no, I do not have constipation on keto and also did not have it on my carnivore diet for the last 9 months either, except in the very beginning. But that was remedied simply by adding more fat. So if you mean infrequent stools, that could just be normal, depending on how much fiber you are eating: the more fiber, esp from fruits and veggies, the more frequent and bulkier the stools, in my experience. If you mean very hard stools, however, that most usually means you aren't eating enough fat, which is an essential part of both a keto and carnivore diet. But if you are eating mostly very fatty meats, you should not have that problem. Personally, on both diets I eat/ate a lot of less fatty meats too, tho', like poultry, seafood, bison and elk. (Beef and lamb are usually fattier, even in their ground form. For ground beef, go for the 80-20 version and you should be fine.) And so, for less fatty meats, I usually add approx 1/2 to 1 Tbsp of butter to each 1/4 lb. And now that I can have.some plant foods again, I also add 2 Tbsp of olive oil to each of my 2 meals per day. Yet that doesn't mean you can't benefit from healthy raw sauerkraut too, AND raw kimchi, which is similar but very spicy. And on the east coast of the USA, where I am, there are many brands now, found in most good supermarkets, "health" and natural food stores, and Trader Joes. Even Costco sells a large container of it and Whole Foods once had their own brand, altho' they seem to have discontinued it recently. My favorite is the Bubbies brand, however, which is also the original; comes in a tall glass jar, which I prefer; and also has delicious naturally fermented raw pickles, as well. And I used to find it at Whole Foods, but I recently noticed it's also sold now at Publix and Harris Teeter. But you can also easily make your own. There are lots of recipes on KZfaq. What they all have in common, however, is that they will always be located in a chilled or refrigerated section (but not frozen); will contain varying amounts of salt; and the ingredients will NOT contain any vinegar. I hope you find a brand you enjoy. I can't eat the cabbage yet because of remaining food sensitivities, but I drink some of the juice daily. (Amazon even carries a brand that is only the juice!) And it's not just good on hot dogs and sausage but in salads as well! Bon appetite!

That sounds so good.. I would love to eat shell fish but doesnt it have a lot of mercury?

@@mariejones7136 - I’m not sure, but I don’t get to eat it often because I live in the high desert of Texas 🤗🤗

@@mariejones7136 - we should try to check it out.

​@@mariejones7136something to Google! From what I know is fish that have a long lifespan (and eat other fish) have a lot of mercury like thuna fish, sardines who have a short lifespan and eat algae etcetera have not much mercury. I think shellfish also have a short lifespan and eat algae etcetera small stuff...😮 The mercury adds from one fish to another. The fish on the top of the foodchain have the most mercury. Antropologists have been able to determine that prehistoric humans were hypercarnivores due to the amount of different animal matter in their bones and teeth!

I began culturing my dairy into kefir and the 3 bacterial strains from the Super Gut book into yogurts. All the lactose is eaten by the culturing/ fermentation . Also, it healed a long list of debilitating issues,like SIBO, endocrine issues, arthritic inflamation that have kept me unable to participate in life. (Always in too much pain to even stand up, and afraid to eat) Thought I was slowly dying at 55. Wish you the best!

Yes, dairy products are delicious but terrible for my skin- get dry painful itchy skin and itchy scalp. Didn’t know about steroid cream withdrawal. Thanks for the information! Yikes!!

Sounds very good!

Skinless chicken is not necessary. There's a lot of flavor and beneficial fat in the skin.

Where do you get pork rind panko please? I'm in Australia. 🇦🇺

Best if can get from a local or hobby farm or if labeled certified humane...healthier for us and the birds do not suffer terribly, like those that produce cheap grocery eggs. If you can afford them Cheaper with backyard hobbyists

Add non starchy veges - drop pine nuts and you’ve got my diet

You might want to look into that. I've heard that if you don't feel well after consuming greens, that your gut microbes might be out of balance. I also knew someone who had tummy problems after eating greens (which I thought was odd when I heard that and I commented that that doesn't seem normal to eat lettuce and get an upset stomach) and ended up with stomach cancer.

I had the same problem until I had been keto for a few months. I’m guessing keto reset my gut biome and made it easier to eat salads a few times a week without tummy troubles. 😊

@@Piper7cubPeople can also have this issue with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.

Agree. It is manufactured meat which I don't touch because of the additives.

It’s still better than a sugar snack! Go for the lessor damage to your system! I cheat a little, but now i know what to look out for. No gout is my mission, weight loss is an added bonus! Educating my children is my goal! Don’t get sick in the first place, beats healing!

It’s “processed” it breaks a lot of the “rules” as far as leaving the processed “food” behind. Good for a treat now and again.

Especially healthy if can get from a local or hobby farm or if labeled certified humane...better for us and birds don't suffer like those we get yucky, cheap grocery eggs

Don't forget the chopped, cooked bacon in your egg muffin 😊

Love that too. Have been doing it on and off for years. Just had to clean up the dressings part of nasty seed oils!

@@ianstuart5660 Please share the dressings you use with your salads .

@gigics6695 I don't use a wide variety of dressings. I've found a good all purpose dressing for most salads and even Cole slaw. A clean mayo, like pure olive or avocado oil. Extra virgin olive oil. Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. All mixed together. Season to liking with fresh garlic and spices, herbs to your liking!

@@ianstuart5660 Fabulous! Thanks!

Me too. Salad w hard boiled eggs. Makes oil & vinegar dressing creamier 2.

Where do you buy and what is crushed pork rinds please? 🇦🇺

@@bronnygray9890 any major super market would sell them. Also Walmart. Read label before buying. Make sure they didn't add extra things in the ingredients.

Especially, if you get certified humane or from local farm or hobby backyard flock where they live well instead of a very awful two years for those that provide cheap grocery eggs. If you can afford, but totally worth it. Backyard breeders may only be $4/dz

Watch out for peanuts...a bean, not a nut and very high in lectins. Blanched almonds, macadamia or other nuts may be a better option

Yes in San Diego ground lamb at good price in Aldi's this week. Usually buy 10😊

However, I believe Mackerel is high in mercury?

@@gigics6695 I get mackerel with EU origin.. I don't eat mackerel from China or other countries with heavy industry.. Also mackerel is not a large fish.. Heavy metals are a problem with larger fish..

@@gigics6695 Perhaps you're referring to King Mackerel or Spanish Mackerel from the Gulf of Mexico. Anyone can search "Mercury Levels in Commercial Fish and Shellfish", to check on expected levels of mercury. Luckily some of the tastiest fish (salmon, trout, sardines, anchovies, herring, and certain mackerel...) have much less mercury than most large fish. Tuna is an interesting one, since the mercury level of various types varies very much.

I guess guacamole is ok? there is nothing in the mix than could be high in carbs?

Guacamole should be fine...if premixed check label or ask at restaurants if added sugar
