Interesting. I didn't realise you were doing this. Will keep an eye on your progress man.
tbh - i don't think i'm doing keto properly as i've been allowing fruit. Also wondering about the amount of salt in my diet when i'm avoiding carbs. Have a half theroy that this combined with not drinking anough water is causing water retention which is keeping weight on. I bought a bottle yesterday and am trying to make sure I stay hydrated through the day.
Another slghtly unsavoury sife-effect of the diet that i'm sure isn't helping is the errrr... digestive side-effects which can't be helping.
Also, think, i need to stay away from the nuts and dried fruit for snacks which must be super calories and sugar dense right?

Sugar and starch are total no-nos for me. You would think nuts would be okay but most seem to be not so good (I've literally just eaten 30gms of Brazil nuts), almonds are good but very bad for the dog so I try not to keep them in the house.
I just discovered lo-carb bread which I've been eating a lot of, it's great to be able to eat sandwiches again. I'm just a terrible snackaholic, probably down to my undiagnosed ADHD, I don't drink, smoke or do drugs anymore so I have to stuff my face! 🙃
These are my numbers for today, not terrible, and I've walked 13,350 steps.

I avoid nuts and dried fruit.
They’re pretty good on a health perspective, but I find them terrible for diet and calorie control.
The ‘just one more handful’ effect.Also the dried fruit and concentrated sugar contained and fruit will be kicking you out of keto for sure (unless you’re having minute amounts)
A satisfying portion of fruits and nuts can completely wipe out a calorie deficit and switch it to a surplus.
I think it’s a plan that you can stick with and keep your intake lower, whether keto, low carb, meat and fruit, the better.
Things like hummus, nuts, fruit, peanut butter is kryptonite for many, especially if you’re not counting calories.

I'm more worried about my increased fat and sodium intake while I've been on a keto diet. I've been doing it for over seven months now so I'm just being careful.
I didn't used to eat very much processed food at all but I've been eating a lot more cheese, beef jerky, diet coke, etc recently.
