This made me realize that it’s good to have a variation in my diet. I try to do keto one day and carnivore the next. I don’t track my calories anymore.
I think, early on, it’s important to track all of your nutrients and macronutrients because it gives you a good understanding of what causes weight gain in your body, and you can get a better idea of where you’ve been going wrong.
Initially, I got by with eating more carbs and still lost weight. Within the first two months of my weight loss plan, I lost around 35 pounds, but then it started to slow down. That’s why I had to modify some of my recipes.
Personally, my body works best when I eat two meals a day. I have lunch, and usually, it’s a breakfast item that I eat at lunchtime. If it’s a keto day, sometimes I’ll eat a taco salad.
But generally, I eat a lot of eggs, bacon, sausage, steak, pork chops, and chicken breasts. For some of those leaner cuts of meat, I added some butter to give me more fat, to drop my weight.
