I did quite a bit of reading before deciding to try the keto lifestyle. I was a little worried about keto flu symptoms, so I started to cut down gradually each week on my carbs for about 2 months before I went “full keto” and I didn’t find I had many cravings for carbs at all once I was, and really haven’t suffered at all. I was a major pasta lover before but making zucchini string pasta really helped me get over that hurdle as it’s delicious. Especially since you can make sauces with full fat ingredients! I’m having steady gradual weight loss, usually about two pounds a week, and I’m very happy with how it’s going. Love your cook books!
