I too have had a lot of success using this 3 months of the pandemic shelter in to really smooth out my food habits. I had been doing "Keto" but it was what experts would call "Dirty Keto" meaning, eating a lot of fatty foods, but not necessarily balancing the veggies and not necessarily GOOD fatty foods. Long term that doesn't work. I did lose 20 pounds over 5 months but wasn't necessarily healthier nor totally able to handle cravings.
I've totally changed my habits in lockdown and I've lost 12 pounds as well as I feel so much better. Yesterday I had:
-- My wake up drink... 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 table spoon of Apple Cider Vinegar, 1 fresh squeezed lemon and a pinch of Organic Stevia. These are all great to supress appetite and help cleanse my system first thing on wake up with antioxidant boost from the lemon.
-- Coffee with 1/2 and 1/2 (This is slightly cheating on Keto, but seems to work for me)
-- mid morning a small cheese and 5 slices of Salami
-- "Lunch" Frozen blueberries (less than 1/2 a cup) with heavy cream poured on top (makes me feel like i get desert!! Tastes yum and takes nothing to make)
-- 1 bigger dinner meal, Like... spring salad, vinegar, oil, an 8 oc piece of steak with cheese sauce and cauliflower rice cooked with Organic butter.
On this I too learned to handle my carb cravings. I used to eat A TON of sugar, but I don't now, And, when I do we make Keto ice cream or another healthy snack like Almond Butter cookies made with Almond Flour.
Also, I take Pottasium and raw organic wheatgrass powder and that has helped hydrate me so I have been able to add a 1 hour walk to my day. Thanks for listening!
