and how realistic losing 23lb (9,5 kg ) in 7 to 9 weeks

I am trying to think of low‑carb snacks to keep around instead of reaching for eggs, cheese or nuts every time. Those are fine. I get tired of eating the same keto snacks.

I have checked out some packaged options though the labels can be a bit confusing when you are trying to figure out the carb count. I am open to snacks as well preferably things that do not take much time to prepare.

If you have been doing keto for a while what are some snacks you tend to keep in the fridge or pantry?

Im trying to eat healthier and stick to keto but at work we dont even have a microwave.

Any ideas or recipes I could bring on the go?

Do you track them? I used to just eat plain food. But, I bought "Half Salt". It has potassium, sodium chloride, and some calcium. I am just putting it on all my food now. I have a multi vitamin and magnesium supplement to get magnesium.

I am not sure if I should have keto aid once a week as well since putting a pinch of salt on everything isn't that much. I am guessing a pinch is 200-400 mg per meal.

hero bread is probably the first one i'm thinking about trying next, but i'm still looking around before i order a whole loaf. i mostly want something that actually tastes like bread and works for sandwiches or toast without that dry, weird texture i've gotten from some other low carb options. i've also had sola, carbonaut, and royo recommended to me, so now i'm curious what people here actually keep buying. i'm okay paying a little more if it's genuinely better, but i don't want to keep buying different loaves just to be disappointed lol.

what would you say is the best low carb bread you've actually tried?

Hi everyone, as title says I am new here. almost three weeks ago, I began what I believe to be a keto diet. Here's what a typical day looks like for me:

Breakfast:

coffee with a splash of heavy cream, 4-5 eggs with cheese, butter, avocado

Lunch:

meat (usually beef, but sometimes turkey, sea food, or tuna) cooked in pork fat/ olive oil/ butter. I usually have hearty servings (like pretty g dang hardy) of cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, asparagus, swiss chard and leafy greens.. sometimes baked, but usually steamed and mixed with cheese/olive oil/some basamic vinegar. I also usually have another coffee with cream.

Dinner:

A really large salad with spinach, lettuce, arugula, and cucumber, pumpkin seeds, walnuts. I make my dressing with avacado, olive oil, basamic vinegar, and kefir that I make at home (let it ferment longer to eat the lactose). I also usually snack on almonds, and olives, and more cheese. I have experimented with an almond flour/egg/chia/flax muffin every now and then with some butter. I have more meat at night if I need it. Sometimes i have a very small glass of kombucha (which i also make at home and ferment for quite a while to cut out the sugar).

My reasons for doing keto are: to target some skin/supposed auto-immune problems I've had for a few years. I am not trying to jinx it, but I already feel my skin less inflamed after just a couple of weeks. So, I am trying not to be too excited yet, but am also very hopeful for this keto lifestyle. I am very active and am trying to continue to develop my performance with weight lifting/endurance sports as well.

From this community, I guess I'd just like reassurance that my diet looks ok for long-term use (or any advice or tips)- as I don't personally know anyone who has done this before.

Thanks to all, and wishing everyone well on their journeys!
