[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keto people - do you have young kids?  Kids that you make dinner for?  I tried keto for a while but found it completely unmanageable since I essentially had to make myself a separate dinner every night.  It's not a matter of just skipping the bread.  It's beans, yummy sauces, certain vegetables, fruits, quinoa, etc.

I've found it much more manageable to just reduce my portions and count calories.  I'm down four pounds in three weeks and the hunger went away after a week.  Moreover, it's something that I feel I can stick with long term, since I'm not depriving myself of anything.[/quote]

Main keto poster here.  Yeah, I've got 4 and 6 year old boys.  And I thought it would be tough to have stuff in the house that they eat (oreos... nom) and we don't.  BUT .. it hasn't been.  And yeah, it's sometimes a pain making more meal, but as a rule we just don't.  Sometimes I supplement their breakfast for dinner with frozen pancakes while we have bacon and eggs, or I'll boil some pasta for their sauce/meatballs when we use zucchini for our meatballs.  They like steak and broccoli and it takes no time for me to heat up a brown rice serving or some tater tots if they want them.

The biggest change is that it's been so good for ALL of us.  I'm not going to deprive a prek/first grader, but instead of ice cream cones every night, they now really enjoy strawberries with whipped cream.  We aren't eating sodium laden takeout twice a week, and gone are the mcd's days before tball/soccer .. sorry, boys.  We do NOT regulate their intake at parties, grandma's house, etc ... and basically when we started we said that sugar was making Mama sick (true - horrible migraines) and that I was going to not eat as much.  One of their favorite places is still panera for cinnamon crunch bagels every once and a while .. and I eat a power breakfast sandwich made into a bowl and everyone's happy.  It's really not that hard, especially once you start feeling so good a week or two into the way of eating.  There have been oreos and ice cream and all sorts of stuff in my house for the past 6 months and honestly, it's not a matter of will power anymore.  I just don't WANT them.[/quote]
