Hey guys can anyone of you recommend me a meal planning Guide to follow or any recipe books ect, I find it easier to follow a plan instead of doing things random. Also if anyone is doing keto can you give me some tips please of how you started ect. Don’t understand the whole carb thing either how many carbs do you have per meal ect I know it’s low carb I’ve read a few bits and watched YouTube videos still find it abit confusing
 
Hi @ShyLily i started with low carb healthy fat for a month which I think helped me cope with Keto transition without Keto flu I certainly didn’t have any symptoms apart from some leg cramps which were more to do with the intermittent fasting that I did alongside Keto and I resolved with using Epsom salts in a foot Bath !
I developed Keto meals using diet dr it’s an excellent site and you can take the two week Keto diet challenge for free which gives you all you need to get on with. I prefer to sort out my own menus etc but such a great recipe section lots of ideas. Watch as many videos on the diet doctor site as possible you’ll learn loads of useful information and tips to help you go Keto. Good luck

@ShyLily what I should also have said is that I eat under 20g of carb a day on Keto but for first month adjusted to about 50g of carb a day.
We also have a what have you eaten today thread in the low carb section of this forum and this may give you ideas of what we eat !
 
Hey ShyLily, I am currently working out of two great cookbooks - 1)Keto Essentials by Vanessa Spina - her - website is KetogenicGirl and 2)Quick Keto Meals in 30 Minutes or Less by Martina Slajerova Both are terrific with great pictures, recipes, information....Keto Essentials goes into the science of it all and you may find that really helpful....I would imagine you can get both on Amazon. I live in Canada - Spina is Canadian and her book is recommended by Megan Ramos who is Cofounder of Intensive Dietary Management Program with Dr. Jason Fung in Toronto - so that is a big thumbs up for me!! - and bought the books at our local bookstore. Hope that helps! Blessings/L
