I'm prepared to be downvoted by the keto gestapo. 😌

I (36F, 350lbs, 5’2”, birth date 02/04/1988, SSN 403-67-4929) have been on keto for 6 FREAKIN MONTHS AND CANT LOSE WEIGHT UGH.

I think it’s because I’m not hitting by fat goals! When eating nothing but fatty ground beef and bacon wasn’t enough, I started making fat bombs to snack on throughout the day (I usually have 6 - 12). That wasn’t helping, so I gave up and just moved onto drinking cups of heavy cream after each meal and snack.

Even that wasn’t working. Now I’m chugging 2 - 3 cups of olive oil before I go to bed, and somehow even now it doesn’t seem like I’m reaching my fat goal! UGH! Maybe because I’m eating too much protein and activating the gluco neo-jesus? Should I cut out all meat and just eat butter and olive oil? Any recommendations to hit my fat goal is greatly appreciated!

Really worried about my blood sugar and insulin and stuff

Worried about getting kicked out of ketosis.

• 2 ribeye steaks (about 8-10 oz each)
• 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
• 4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
• 6 cloves garlic, minced (2 cloves for steak, 4 cloves for asparagus)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
3. Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
4. In a skillet or frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
5. Once the oil is hot, add the steaks to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time according to your desired level of doneness.
6. While the steaks are cooking, place the trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
7. Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until tender but still crisp.
8. In the skillet with the steaks, add minced garlic and butter. As the butter melts, use a spoon to baste the steaks with the garlic butter mixture.
9. Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for a few minutes.
10. Slice the steaks against the grain and transfer to a serving plate.
11. Remove the asparagus from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
12. Garnish the asparagus with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
13. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the skillet over the sliced steaks.
14. Garnish both the steak and asparagus with chopped parsley if desired.
15. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Keto-friendly Garlic Butter Steak with Roasted Asparagus!

We as a community need to be more welcoming of people that eat fruit 🍉

New to keto as recommended by my doctor. He recommended after I am fat adapted to add in 24 hour fisting. Seems like a lot but I am willing to try

I got kicked out of r/keto for saying I like to include fruit in my diet

Exhibits cult-like behaviors. That is all.

Was trying to get back into keto for the 78th time and wanted to kick start ketosis with steak boiled in butter. SOOOO GOOD.

BUT. I then wanted to do a 45 minute fast after but realized a piece of steak was stuck in my teeth.

DID THIS RUIN MY FAST?
