[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1824039, member: 401801"] I started about 2 months ago to tackle weight and fatty liver... It was a little perplexing at first. Especially when I was out and about, and the only salads available were carb heavy, the meats breaded, or drenched in sugary dressing or marinade... Then I found out you can order a Double Whopper or a Big King XXL without the bun, and extra bacon. 5 grams or something in carbs. Yum! Works in every fast food joint, just leave off the bun, maybe the sauce, save for mayo. That's when a weight lifted for me and I worried less about eating elsewhere. Tomorrow we're going to a company bbq, and if I leave the bread alone, I can eat with everyone else just fine, they won't even notice I'm eating keto. So that was my biggest worry sorted; I wasn't going to be stuck without food when out. (Or obliged to buy the expensive steak all the time. At that point I hadn't read up about intermittent fasting yet...). Took me a little while to get my at-home meals sorted, as a lot of meals have dairy and I couldn't eat that, but after a while my food intolerances got a whole lot better. Keto gave me back eggs and goat's milk products! Cow milk is still a problem, but no as bad as it was, which I didn't dare hope for when I started. I lost 5 kilo's and plateau-ed again, but I'm sticking with it. HbA1c of 34 is reason enough. So, pro's; my HbA1c got even lower, I lost some weight, foodintolerances are slowly getting better. Cons; I got carb flu again for a few weeks. And needlessly worried about eating out. ;) Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
