[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2336881, member: 511345"] Hello and welome, I'm sorry that you have had such a rough time of it. I suspect that for many 50 grams of carbs every meal is too many but your body may be able to do it- use your meter to find out. I also struggle with keto from time to time- I make no pretence about it. I have been given some great suggestions on here. My suggestion is to find some alternatives that are easy and that you can go back to. Are you a 'sweet' tooth or do you prefer more savoury foods? My go to include diet jelly (sweet tooth here), keto custard, pork belly- including the crackling, roast meat generally. I also have cauliflower rice and cauliflower mash. With the mash I include a little spring onion or chives and some cheese. I have either black tea- which is how I've always drunk it or coffee with cream. We have also done chicken niblettes when we have a pot luck dinner. Let us know what things you prefer and see what we can come up with. People here are amazing and most importantly we have been there. Good luck and welcome. [/QUOTE]
