How can i start a keto diet. Am eating 80g of carbs per day.
Am prediabetic and use cgm libre.
Want to cut carbs further. Am skinny fat...so doing some strength training.
When I went keto I did one thing; I ate no carbohydrates - no sugars, no sweets, no grains or flours from grains, no legumes, no starchy veg, no fruit. Probably not ideal but it got me there quickly and I did drink water and often added a bit of apple cider vinegar occasionally or Celtic sea salt.
I was in ketosis and felt better than ever
Now when I do it I make sure to eat plenty of non-starchy veg (think salads and greens), fatty fish, walnuts, pecans, seeds and offal as well as meat and definitely eggs. I stay away from seed oils (aka vegetable oils) due to being highly processed, possibly rancid, and high in omega 6 fatty acids.
Hope that helps
