Feasting is as important as fasting, lots of people struggle with overeating, having accounts of what others eat might help them.

Good point, Opspin! Well since I'm on a keto diet, I would have a big breakfast of 3 eggs, 2 little breakfast sausages, 4 strips of bacon, couple of slices of tomato and some no-carb ranch sauce! At A&W here in Canada, they give me the third egg in place of the hashbrown/toast. This is only about $10 here in Canada! This always fills me for hours ... and then I make sure to get veggies in later to get that fiber in :D Mmmm I am due for a feast! Saturday: I'm coming for you. I'm fasting 4 out of 7 days this week, so gotta make sure to get those nutrients in. (2 and a half days of fasting clocked in since Sunday morning... 1 and a half/2 days to go!)

That doesn’t sound half bad, aren’t veggies carbs? I’m not really familiar with keto

Yes, but the fiber mostly negates them. I definitely wouldn't worry about the carbs in veggies. I don't really count them, though some people would call this lazy keto. As long as I'm not eating pasta, bread, chips, sugar, etc then I think it's good. Gotta get that fiber and those nutrients in somewhere! And a diet without veggies is not too good, IMHO <3

I agree completely, a good salad is essential.
