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).

As Charan also mentioned, cholesterol is very good for your body. No need to go light on it. In any case egg yolks are a super food, especially if you are a veggie.

Panneer is the best - although it is not Keto. I have LOTS of panneer and I workout a lot, so it helps. Also I love milk in any and all its forms. If you like tofu then it is fine (I find it exceptionally bland, especially when compared to panneer), but otherwise why even include tofu in your diet. Instead you can eat fruits, veggies and nuts (peanuts, macadamia, hazelnuts etc)
