Edit: I don’t drink alcohol, it’s just the best way to describe it. From comments I’ll be going on a low carb diet, thank you all.

Explanation: male, 38, 130 pounds. Skinny, low muscle mass but have a beer keg belly.

My day is 7am wake up. Get kids to school. Work until 5. Get kids from school. Cook, shower and then I’m exhausted AF.

I’m semi fit? I’m a mechanic professionally and spring til summer I mountain bike regularly. So my calves are monsters.

But would like… basic at home sit ups. Push ups etc like on a Saturday, would that help at all?

      Meat and fats are expensive. Not having enough variety of foods that excite you will make it incredibly hard for people to stay on it, or so i was led to believe

      In order to succeed you need enough variance to stay with it, from what i remember reading before doing it the single most common reason anyone fails a diet is because most diets that have restrictions fail to provide enough variety to keep people satisfied. Something about diminishing returns and how we are built to crave a variety of foods so that our ancient ancient ancestors didnt die from losing a single source of nutrients

      I will admit, there are a lot more options of keto specific foods than when i was on it.

      The bread products ive seen for keto are amazing compared to the dense heavy eggy elastic loafs i was able to find

        That makes sense. Thank you for explaining

        I’ve been doing a subset of keto for a few months, carnivore. I’ve been living off mostly inexpensive ground beef, eggs, and liver. I found it was less expensive then my preketo food budget.

        Yeah, some of the new keto breads are so tempting! the chuffles that seem popular look really good
