    If I have a a signifcant amount of carbs, I'll crash within two hours. It's not even worth it after eating keto for 2 years.

    Default Diet and Eating Right

    Reading about others success with the keto has got me motivated to do it. I ordered a book on AMAZON with high ratings. Can you guys recommend any particular books, apps, or websites? There is obviously lots of info online but I don't want to give my email and sign up with someone that's just going to fill my inbox with sales pitches and 'special offers'
    I'm mostly looking for shopping lists and menu/recipes to get started.

    So I've been doing a no/low carb thing for about 3 weeks now. At end of week 1, I no longer had stomach bloating and I could see my actual fat, rather than the bloating. At week 2.5, I weighed myself and had dropped 8-9 pounds. I have not been exercising due to school commitments and work, so all that weight loss is due to a simple change in what I eat. I keep dropping and have not yet plateaued. I'm not sure what I'm at now as far as weight loss. Thing is, I started doing this as the thinnest guy in my shop. But for me, I was in a pathetic state. Being 5'5 and 180 pounds is fine if you're built like a brick shithouse. Not so fine when you're just flabby (though my wife tried to convince me I wear it well. lol).

    The carb desire can be a bit overwhelming at times but it's getting better. It's really amazing how addicted to sugar we are as a nation.

    Generally, my day starts with breakfast consisting of 3 eggs and a few strips of bacon. I only drink water aside from one protein shake in the morning.

    Lunch varies, but always includes a salad/vegetable and meat. I also have a snack of veggies and a low/no carb dip.

    Lunch example: today was two hamburger patties w/ old bay seasoning mixed in, some Tillamook cheddar cheese, avocado w/ salt and pepper. Filling, tasty, and fairly inexpensive.

    My pre-low carb food intake was:

    Break: egg sandwich w/ English muffin (homemade, not McD)
    Lunch: leftovers
    Snack: PBJ and chips

    Good for you! That's awesome.

    Are you doing low-carb, or the keto diet? There are a lot of great recipes for low-carb meals.

    Having looked up the keto diet, there doesn't seem to be a consistency in things which are "ok" and things which are verboten. There's also a lot of kooky hullabaloo about organic/grass-fed/etc. Kinda reminds me of a culinary version of "The Secret". Everyone talks about it but no one can agree on what it is.

    Basically just using an amalgam of resources to come up with a food plan.

    What I'm not eating:
    bread of any sort, rice, potatoes, ketchup

    I switched from milk to heavy whipping cream in my coffee. I still do two teaspoons of sugar in it, cus I hate coffee (too bitter for me -- I approach coffee as a morning medicinal if you catch my drift) -- though that might be because I do the dark roast freeze-dried stuff from the "Hispanic" aisle in King Soopers. And I only do one cup per day. When I quit smoking, coffee lost its appeal to me.

    I still do dairy (cheese as part of a meal and the cream for coffee).

    I stay away from legumes/nuts, mainly because I don't like them.

    Typical lunch salad is raw spinach, some blue cheese crumbles, homemade olive oil/vinegar/herbs/spices, and sometimes a few fresh/sliced strawberries. Whatever meat we had night before as "entree".

    On Fridays, the meat gets replaced with tuna and placed in salad.

    The main focus is: veggies, meat (protein) and good, natural fats.

    This all probably falls more into low carb than keto, but again I still cannot ascertain what keto is in a pure form.

    With Keto, basically carbs in any sort of quantity are verboten, there isn't a lot of consistency because everyone's body is different, and the threshold at which you go into ketosis will vary from person to person. Typically 20-50 grams of carbs per day will get you into ketosis.

    When you deprive your body of carbs, which your body turns into glucose for its primary source of energy, you force your body to resort to burning fat for energy. That's about the jist of Keto.
