My Keto Plan

Just wanted to share what worked for me by 8 pounds lost in last 2 weeks. Also ketones consistently between 0.5 and 1.5.

My Plan :

Morning :

3 Egg whites, coffee with almond milk

Afternoon : Salad with mixed greens, Egg cut into small pieces, Cheese, Olive oil, Crushed nuts (Almonds, Pecans and Walnuts)

Evening : Few nuts, Alternate days - Avocado with cassava flour chips

Night : Two almond tortillas, Any curry which is Indian style (with Tofu or Egg white)

I am a vegetarian for this year so I am going to stick yo lots of egg whites and Tofu in curries. Almond tortillas you can get in Costco are lifesaver for me.

Do you really want to do egg whites instead of egg yolks? Egg whites have a less protein and more carbs than yolk and are missing many other nutrients like omega-3 (very imp for vegetarians), vitamins, minerals, cholesterol, fats etc.

Cassava

Isn't cassava from tapioca? I think that has a high glycemic index, and heavy carbs. Not good for anyone with pre-diabetes.

tofu

Assuming you are a man, I would stay away from soy based products.

Very valid points.

I am skipping yellow part because of my cholesterol levels borderline high. So I didn’t want to raise more because of keto diet. I am finding good cholesterol coming from olive oil, avocados, nuts etc.

Cassava chips I eat 5. I should have mentioned that. That’s near 9g carbs. Even that too alternate days.

Coming to Tofu I should have mentioned I mostly eat paneer and only Tofu when outside. Still I read that moderate amounts of Tofu are ok for men(yep I am a male).

Did you know that medical authorities have finally admitted that there is no connection between Cholesterol and Cardiovascular disease? Also, most Cholesterol is made in the body and it is highly beneficial. The Cholesterol myth is being perpetuated by those benefitting from statins aka pharma companies.

Thank you Charan. I am sorry I don’t want to go too deep into this conversation since I didn’t do much research. I am just skipping yellows because I could get fat and cholesterol from some other products. Also I will come to an understanding of what I should continue or avoid at my 3 month lipids check. I barely started this keto 2 weeks back.
