Glad to see this topic.

I have researched Keto a few times, but have not yet taken the plunge. For 20+ years my breakfast has been homemade granola, with berries, 1/2 banana and Almond milk. Gluten free and Dairy free. When I look at suggested breakfasts, most use eggs. I cannot eat eggs, they are a migraine trigger. I have to be very careful with Dairy products.

Other than my breakfast, I am not a big carb fan. But carb substitutes like 'riced' cauliflower are out too. Desserts are not an issue. We rarely have dessert at home. My son makes cookies, but I rarely eat more than 2-3. I can easily stop doing that. I rarely drink sweetened drinks. Black tea and water are my beverages of choice. With wine once a week.

So I circle around, then step back again.

Portion control is a big issue for me as is a very sedentary lifestyle. I am sitting most the day, commuting, at school, back at home.

Lately I have been thinking, if I jumped started weight loss by using Keto, then jump started my exercise routine as I eased off the Keto it may work.

But what to do when traveling? I am going on a 3 week road trip. in 10 weeks. Should I do 10 weeks of Keto and then low carb while I travel?
