Keto/Low Carb Diet

[Yucca]

Hi all

Was wondering about others experiences, success's and failures on a Keto or low carb diet.

Iv been on a Keto diet now for about 5 months and have lost 20kg and reduced my body fat from 32% to 22%.

Would love to hear from others about their low carb lifestyle, especially anyone who has tried keto.

103kg to 83kg

32% to 22.2% (last reading)

Omron scales which have great reviews for accuracy and the same pair iv been using for 3 years. Weigh myself in the morning after toilet but before eating or drinking or showering as instructed.

I went on something vaguely resembling the Paleo one, which I understand is similarly low-carb, but without being desperately strict on reading packages or anything.
I was only on it to support the wife, who was being as strict as circumstances allowed (in the face of variable job commitments, family weddings and the like).
I lost a couple of stone while she lost a few more, over about 7 months.

Medical issues and things have impacted the food budget lately, so we've been on cheap crappy food for a bit, but it certainly works for us and doesn't restrict you to protein bars or rabbit food fads, either.
I mostly liked coming up with new meals out of ingredients I'd not previously focussed on... and having lots of cashews in things!!

Would love to know some of your recipes mate. Yes, it does get expensive. I eat a lot of Salmon, Steak, eggs and chicken. And fresh veg, salad and fruit is not cheap either especially in winter.
