I mentioned in another thread that I started this, and another member chimed in that they had been on it for a couple years already.
I thought I would create a thread for it to centralize discussions/questions, etc.
I'm just starting week 3 and feeling better and better daily; but still have a long ways to go.

I don't think I will ever get off the keto diet. I do have my cheat days, but I feel so much better when on this way of eating.

My wife and I have been doing keto a few months. I am down almost 30lbs she is down a full ten which annoys the crap out of her.

Helo, what about spaghetti? what about taco chips?
What do you use as a low carb salsa and meat sauce delivery system?

Sniper, Have you tried spaghetti squash for the noodles? Son1 and DIL1 are on the KETO diet and they use it all the time. As for chips, My niece used shredded cheese in a little flat pile and dried it in a low oven. It seemed to work but you have to watch so the cheese doesn't brown. She doesn't have a dehydrator. I have a KETO bread recipe if you're or anyone else is interested. One serving of 2 slices is 2 net carbs.DH is on a low carb diet for his diabetes made it for him, he seems to like it.
Always up for swapping recipes! Yes, we use spag squash quite often, but it is quite high in carbs too. I don't mind Shirataki noodles, but the wife isn't.
Always looking for options!

Spaghetti squash is really good, and most pizza sauce has only a few carbs. Not sure on salsa, but salsa should be low carb. I don't eat chips.

Several years ago I went on the Atkins diet which is a low carb diet. In 5 months I dropped 38 pounds.
I have to admit that over the last 8 years I have managed to find about 16 of those lost pounds. However, at times I still try to keep in mind the need for lower carbs.

We use a pizza cutter to make strips, spray with a little melted butter from our pump sprayer, throw a little Himalayan salt on it, and sometimes a little chili powder, and bake 5-7 minutes at 325*(watch them bake, it's easy to burn them) we usually get a whole tray of chips from 2 sheets. Here's the kicker.... 4 CARBS PER SHEET! Served with guacamole and homemade salsa or queso it's not quite a restaurant quality chip, but they're really good.
Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.
I use a spiral-cutter and squash (zuchinni, usually), which I very lightly toss in a frying pan to soften, then toss the sauce in.
