When I started it was just keto - under 20 total carbs , 80% fat [oh yum] 20% protein, I did eat broccoli and cauliflower as well as romaine lettuce for the first 9 months or so. But found they didn't agree with me after a while. I made sure to add salt and I think that helped me not get the 'keto flu' that affects some people when they begin. Now that I am ketovore I eat meat, fat, eggs, cheese, heavy cream in my coffee [not milk], I eat raspberries blueberries and strawberries in moderation. It's funny how difficult it is to get rid of the brainwashing we've heard all our lives -that we will die without fruit and vegetables and Fibre! Oh my.[ Find Zoe Harcombe videos on Fibre very informative and funny] Anyway everyone is different and people find their comfort level. If you just give up sugar, bread, rice , cereals & pasta it will be a start, but when your body starts using ketones instead of glucose your engine will rev up. Anyway I'm only an ordinary person who's done a bit of reading and had a great experience. Good luck :)
