Can I now introduce more keto foods as in recipes

[Peanut31]

I’m been doing keto for over 2 weeks now and I’ve lost weight and gained my waist back.

I went on keto to help with my high cortisol issue as this is connected to insulin resistance. I also have an under active thyroid and seem to hit a Plateau with my improvement.

I feel really good, but, I don’t want to lose any more weight otherwise I’m going to start looking like a skeleton, as I wasn’t over weight before hand.

My question is can I now introduce some keto recipes, keto bread, keto chocolate and peanut cups etc.

I’m missing bread so thought it would be nice to have a bacon keto bread sandwich.

Do I still count carbs as 20g or increase this to keep my weight as it is.

Best wishes

Hi Peanut! Well done for getting to a place where you want to be. I am a novice at lchf (a month in), but I would imagine that as you don’t wish to lose more, then add foods you enjoy and see what happens. I believe healthy low carb eating is about 50g.? (Not that I measure my food in that way) Keto recipes should be lower than this, so they may not be necessary for you. (Though the few I’ve tried have been excellent! )!I’m a bit confused sometimes as low carb and Keto can be used interchangeably. On the public health Collaboration website they have a simple charts that you can download. One for weight loss and the other for healthy eating. Maybe that would be worth a look? Good luck ... 🌈

I am also not an expert but I have read that people tend to increase there carbs to an amount that maintains there weight. People introduce root veg again, beans etc. I have tried keto bread and had a BLT, was so good!
