You're almost over the tough part. The elimination of simple sugars. Expect the Keto Flu to kick in. It lasted about 3 days for me.
Unexpectedly, Popeyes Blackend Chicken Strips (not on the menu and made to order) are 1-2 carbs for 5 strips. Add in Blackened Ranch sauce and you're at around 4-5 carbs. Remember, while you convert your body from processing carbs to fats and proteins, your weight loss is still primarily based on total calories in verses spent. You will get to a point where you don't desire to eat, so really you don't miss much of the foods you eat. I have to force myself to eat to get to the minimum protein levels recommended. I started at 247.5 and I am down to 222.5 pounds. My goal weight is 200.
Also, I suggest taking full spectrum vitamins, and two Swanee products (KETO BHB SALTS & KETO THERMOGENICS). Watch your potassium and iodine levels, and take supplements for those, as needed.
