Keto diet for picky eaters?
Wanted to Get some Input from anyone who may have tried the Keto Diet. Has any picky eaters tried the Keto diet and seen results? If so can you share some metrics? what you have tried, and in general if it works for such people.
My husband and I have been on Keto - fairly successfully - for a while now. I'd say between the two of us we have very weird/unique food quirks and pickiness. What really helped us was taking the plunge and recognizing that we would probably have to start making things from scratch. It takes more effort and is definitely a test of willpower to come home and make fresh baked "bread" EVERY day, but it helped us keep track of everything we did or didn't like.
Also, finding a handful of dishes we really loved, and finding minor variations of them helped keep things fresh too. Like if something was delicious with beef, we would try it the next week with chicken, and the next week with fish. That way, if we could find three dishes that fit BOTH of our food needs, we could make those three dishes into 9 different options by just changing out 1-2 ingredients. Some people might find it boring, but it's been enough to keep us on keto for multiple months. We've both lost over 15 pounds so far!
I havent tried it yet. But Im not a fan of Avocados, or blueberries, raspberries. Fish I can do as long as its not fishy tasting. I know Its not Very helpful but I figured People who may have tried it and dont like Onions or Tomatoes, or berries, would be able to offer some insight on leaving out some of the things and still had success.
berries are carbs and should be avoided on keto
