To say that the keto (or low carb) diet is the most boring diet ever?

I'm post menopausal and trying to shed the last 7lbs against bitter odds.

It's been suggested to me that I need to cut my already low carb diet to a Keto to see results.

Good god, it's dull. Dull, dull, dull.

Am I alone in thinking this?

I've not even lost any weight on it!

Too much dairy, especially cheese and cream, can cause the cystic acne and stall weight loss. Lots of people are dairy intolerant and start eating it in huge volumes when they start keto and can't think of anything else to eat. Grabbing a quick bite to eat is hard and people just reach in the fridge and demolish the cheese. As a previous victim of this I now bake things I can grab for a snack or small meal such as egg muffins, microwave, mug muffins, chia porridge, fat bombs, chopped up Chorizo etc. Also have jars of olives, cold meats and so on to avoid reaching for the cheese.
