I have been doing KETO full on for 2 weeks and not enjoying, I think I feel that I eat too much cheese, dairy, and nuts.

Can I incorporate low carb, ? adding whole grains in small amounts, as well as wine with meal? I know I will lose slower but I am not aiming to lose quick... just get healthier and feel better.

I have no problem giving up sugar - or added sugar, as I am not a dessert type, or bottled products etc.... If I need an indulgence I will stick with dark chocolate and xyla mix with sugar free p butter.

thanks for the advice!

Hello,
I want to lose weight; here is my question: is low-carb diet long term? And when I have to start Keto diet? Actually, I really don’t see big difference between low-carb diet and Keto diet. Could you explain this one too?
Thanks a lot!

I've been on Keto for about four and a half months, and have lost 40 lbs. I hope to eventually lose 35 more, but I only plan to be on Keto for six months, as recommended by my doctor. After that, I'll do traditional dieting. Part of the diet is calorie restriction, and I am allotted about 1700 calories a day. Sometimes I eat less. I am a lot less hungry on this diet! I use a food diary app called LifeSum, which is supremely helpful. The thing is, I loved full-fat, full flavor food before this diet, so I'm happy with all that I'm eating. I miss sugar and bread a lot, but allow myself small amounts of really good quality dark chocolate. I'm very strict with counting my calories and getting in 30 minutes of cardio every other day. My doctor said there's nothing magical about this diet, that it all comes down to calorie restriction.
