Bawdy,
I just posted Keto Lie #6 which is a good explanation of nutrient density and why keeping carbs so low may hinder weight loss.

Yesterday, day 14, in the Masterclass was a "focus on fiber". Which of the Ted Naiman vegetables and tubers can you eat without a flare?

Marty also wrote this on fiber: https://optimisingnutrition.com/ketogenic-fibre/

Note, Marty’s protein goals aren’t as high as Dr Naiman at first. He suggests you start where you are now and increase protein slowly. But for optimal weight loss it may end up near 40%. https://optimisingnutrition.com/macro-calculator/

What I eat for protein...one of the most nutrient dense while also low calorie is fish and shell fish. I buy the Frozen sockeye salmon filets and canned from Costco. Frozen shrimp. Other filets like cod. Canned tuna. Costco famous rotisserie chicken, both hot and pulled packaged breast meat. Adding my big vegetable boost...the Frozen Stir-fry mix from Costco. It has orange and yellow carrot, water chestnut, lots of green veg. First meal of day (about noon) is very heavy in protein often a stir-fry or salad. Ted has an omelet, Marty calls it the Lower Fat Egg Scramble. 2 whole eggs + unlimited egg whites + veg. And of course beef, ground beef burgers, stew, sauce, etc. Last night, my 70th birthday, was tenderloin filet, grape tomatoes, and asparagus. Usually would also have it with a salad but the asparagus looked too good. See the dinner tips below...mine is there

Another protein boost that Dr Naiman is fine with...Protein Powder in yogurt, with frozen berries, in cottage cheese, etc. These add some nutrient dense carbs and protein, and are a treat.
