Help with Keto Diet

I just wanted to pipe in that when I first started this way of eating it seemed overwhelming at first. I had subway salads a lot until I was more acclimated mainly because it flew in the face of everything I had been taught (low-fat/no fat). I’ve since lost 18 lbs, hubby 40 and son 25.

The things that helped me most are two bloggers and an app that you purchase. (Cheap - under $5). I don’t know if posting them here would be against rules, but if you are interested, pm me.

I don’t know of any delivery for Keto but it can be simplified and I LOVE the recipes I’ve found that cauliflower is my new favorite veggie. We are super happy with our results. If my labs come back in good shape, I’ll be a fan for life.

You’re a sweetheart for being supportive of her. I tried for years to lose weight to no avail (including walking a minimum of 3 miles daily). I started on this and am seeing great results.

I've never heard of a food delivery service for this.
Basically she's going to need to clean out her cupboards of carbs.
The hardest part of this diet is in unlearning all the 'no fat/low fat' that's been pounded into us for forever.
Fat is not the enemy and it keeps the hunger away - you just can't go over board with it.
Broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, green leafy salads are your friends.
Meats, cheese, eggs, fish, nuts, proteins are good.
Bread, cereals, anything starchy - potatoes, rice, beans, noodles are not good.
No crackers or chips - but pork rinds will work in moderation if you need something crunchy for dipping.
I found it useful to do no sugar/sweetener for a month so my tongue learned how to taste again - and then a no carb sweetener in moderation in my coffee was ok.
It will be pretty easy for her after awhile.

I'm a bit surprised that a doctor recommended a Keto diet for a pre-diabetic as a long term solution, but I guess he/she must feel it is a good fit for her for some reason (that I cannot fathom).

I've not used a "meal kit," but just wanted to mention that I use SkinnyTaste website recipes all the time and I LOVE them. They are all coded to different types of diets, including coding for Keto diets (those have a K). She can search by Keto within the website to come up with some easy and very tasty dishes. She can also use many of the other recipes and either swap out or eliminate the carb portions of it as many of the recipes are Keto convertible with little effort.

I am assuming that since she is "pre-diabetic" that this likely due to a weight issue. Might I suggest that rather than solve the problem for this young lady, that she seek the help of a nutritionist to learn a lifetime of good eating habits. Mailing a precut/prefab/preorder box of food really just enables her even further to not take responsibility for herself.

I googled keto box delivery. There is a site that rates each business.

I used Blue Apron for awhile. I stopped because recipies were too involved and included foods that were "fancy", unfamiliar flavors. If you find a source, look for simple menus. If she doesn't cook she needs meals that are simple with just a few ingredients, less than 5, and foods she enjoys.

I suggest that seeing a nutritionist would be more helpful. My daughter eats keto. She has a pattern for her meals. She has learned about keto on the Internet. She grew up learning about providing balanced meals. Cooking keto will be easier if she knows the basics
Of nutrition and meal planning. Cooking with a boxed dinner will not teach her this.

I suggest you look up nutrition on the Internet.

What a nice idea. I'm on keto and its helped with a number of health issues. I don't use a delivery service but there's so much information out there to help with food ideas. You might want to look into getting a cook book or two because those can be really helpful.

Don’t have any suggestions but think that the box kit is a good idea if it introduces menu ideas and helps establish portion control. I’ve never made use of any, but can see the upside.
