New to Keto please help 🙏

[Supergirl1958]

Getting married next October and have a fair chunk of weight to lose. I’ve already bought my dress and it fits so no worries there but new to keto and want to know quick and easy dinner/tea ideas.

i currently weigh just over 18 stone.

Any Ideas and tips on keto would be really helpful, good podcasts, or pages to follow on instagram or facebook.

Thanks in advance.

For easy to follow and clear advice try: https://adaptyourlifeacademy.com/
There are loads of free resources.
For UK based advice, look here https://phcuk.org/
Take a look at their low carb resources by Dr Unwin.

For a youtube channel try Eric Westman, Adapt Your Life, he sets out a very straight forward version of Keto, and actually did research on the safety and effectiveness of a low carb diet.

The PHC uk also have a youtube channel, they release videos of all their conferences, some really good information there.

If you only have time to watch one video (60 mins of your life) please watch this one "Georgia Ede MD - What is nutritional and metabolic psychiatry #PHC2023" The title is not to promising, but the content is brilliant and entertaining and will give you a real insight into the long term benefits of low carb.

For the science behind keto there are quite a few good podcasts on the topic on STEM talk, link https://www.ihmc.us/stemtalks/ . I would recommend starting with episodes 124 and 125 with Gary Taubes as a good intro.

Good luck with keto and congrats on the wedding!

@Sajacas thabkyou so much for all of this! All really useful. I’ve been listening to the stem talk on my way home this evening. Gary Taubes sounds so passionate and knowledgeable.

How did you get on with keto @Supergirl1958 ? Are you all set for the wedding?

Yeah all set,

Keto isn’t for me though. I ended up going down the weight loss jab route.

@Sajacas Thanks to you, I've just watched that and I am now horrified at what I have been doing to myself for the last half-century. I've been on keto for 7 weeks now. Wish I had started it 50 yrs ago.

Hi, first time on here..
I'm starting keto in the new year.
Would love some tips if poss please.
I have done some research but unsure of a few things like, spreadable butter for example is that ok on keto? What are the main things I need to look out for on ingredients? How many carbs am I allowed each day?

@Dobbiemad you’d be better off starting your own thread, as the one you have posted on is a) about someone else and b) an old thread!

Edited as I realise you already have!

good luck with it
