To ask what you think of this typical food intake?

Fat is the primary energy source on keto so it's processed easily, it's obviously a different story if you're overeating though.

When it comes to saturated fats the response is very individual, some people might have increased cholesterol but others don't.

You are eating 2400 calories a day just in cheese and nuts and way too much saturated fat!! That's more calories than I have in a day with 3 meals and the odd snack. I can't imagine you are a healthy weight and your cholesterol must be off the chart. Just not healthy or any way balanced.

I think people don’t understand keto, it is not high fat, as an absolutely measure it is high fat, medium protein, low carb, of a normal recommended intake. So if you eat 1800 cals a day, then 700 of thay may be fat, 600 of protein and 500 of carbs, it is not eat as much fat as humanly possible.

But that doesn't mean the amount of fat your body can safely process changes, which is one of the biggest risks with diets like keto.

Has anyone mentioned salt intake. Cheese is very high in salt and if the nuts are salted too….

Nope - the nosey ones amongst us (me) would love to know... the height is 5'2" but the weight remains a mystery

Because no real person is nutritionally this fucking clueless.

It doesn't affect you nearly as much as it would on a regular diet.
Keto isn't necessarily a terrible diet either, it can work wonders for inflammation, depends on the person because for some it will make them worse.
I had previously been put on nutrition plans with every ingredient specifically chosen to be anti-inflammatory and they didn't help in any way cos I wasn't able to absorb them, keto, and dirty keto at that healed the inflammation in a few months.

We need your cholesterol woman 🧐

Who needs fibre anyway???

This is fucking wild.

How do you shit?

Of course it counts! Lol, that's just some ridiculous made up stuff keto fanatics spout to justify a terrible diet.

😂

The recommended limit for fat doesn't really count on keto because you're running your body on fat rather than carbs.

I'd have thought you'd already finished it off by now.

According to google there are around 1800 calories in 450g of cheese and every day you're eating between 2 and 5 times the recommended amount of fat and saturated in just cheese alone. I've seen some strange diets and this is definitely one of those. Instead of 3 balanced meals you're eating one very large meal then basically snacking for the rest of the day to keeo the hunger away. You're also binge drinking. You're having high amounts of protein and fat and minimal carbs, feesh fruit and veg. I'm not a doctor but I'd imagine your risk of heart disease is really high. Hopefully you havent been eating like this for a long time and you're prepared to make some changes. If you dont know where to start then ask your GP for a referral to a dietician.

I’d be hellishly constipated on that.

Her blood is basically fondue at this point 😆

Surely you don’t think this, not really, that eating so much cheese is ensuring you’re not nutrient deficient? It’s the protein, that helps your hair, there are healthier ways to eat protein, you will still be nutrient deficient.

I think it’s clear you’re very obese, it would be impossible not to be consuming this much, the issue here is your lack of nutrition knowledge, I’m genuinely not sure how irs possible to have so little knowledge, it appears even your family has been telling you but you’ve not believed them.

I’m stunned at the cheese - I have 30g sometimes 45g in an ommlette or on spag bol. - you have 10 times that amount every day

same with nuts. Have 30g and you have 3 times that a day every day

mince. I make 5 portions out of 500g

if not active and eat that amount of cheese daily I’m amazed you aren’t really fat or unhealthy

it’s not a healthy diet !

@ivyball

You've received some really good advice here. It's a shame you've been so selective in replying as many of the PP's would have been able to help you further if you had given them a bit more information

Have you decided on a way forward?

Honestly, I feel like we are trying to answer, without many pieces of the puzzle.

I would suggest a session or two with a qualified dietician. If you can't see one locally, plenty will do zoom type sessions. I'd find a dietician and send them the 7 days you've added here.

Then let them know your goals. Are you trying to be healthy? Reduce cholesterol? Lose or maintain weight etc.

They will be used to people with different issues, so if you really insist on one meal a day and then snacks, they will be able to help you with the best way to do this healthily for you.

I think you’re probably a bit deficient in cheese there op 😁

Have you had your vitamin d levels checked?

My vitamin d levels drop after I have iron infusions (due to heavy periods from fibroids) and I crave cheese. My parathyroid levels go mental and so does my serum calcium levels.

My b12 levels are 211 ng/L (reference range 197-771 ng/L) (got checked this month), so not officially deficient but very low for someone who eats meat, fish, eggs and dairy, takes supplements (BetterYou spray) and barely drinks 🤷🏼‍♀️ but that may explain why I crave dairy, and it may explain why you crave cheese. Omega 3 deficiency can cause it too.

I've banned my husband from buying Aldi extra mature cheese on his way home from work as it is really greasy. I can't imagine the cheaper Essentials range being much better, so I'd get your blood cholesterol levels checked.

You need to drink more water and maybe take a mulvitamin, especially vitamin C as you are not eating much fruit or many vegetables. Being sedentary and craving cheese would make me worry about osteomalacia and osteoporosis. You need to start walking in the evening. Walking to the fridge and back to get cheese isn't enough. And consider lifting weights. You need to load your bones.

If you are overweight, you can still be malnourished. Malnutrition doesn't always equal skinny.

I wouldn't be surprised if that OP has been saying to everyone for years that she eats very healthily and only one meal a day, so it must be a metabolic problem or a hormone imbalance causing her weight.

Unfortunately, there's been a culture for quite some time where it's politically incorrect to suggest that if you are overweight it's because you eat too much and a whole bunch of misinformation on the internet telling people that it's nothing to do with eating too many calories and instead starvation mode, eating at the wrong time or UPFs.
