keto just starting 430lbs

i am very new to keto but i was considering following a plan. i have tried eating clean but i tend to find myself starving which leads to be going off track...

i am 430lbs is keto something that can help me i have seen some transformations on here and it looks awesome.

how should i start my plan?

is it safe for someone my weight to be eating the fats?

sorry for the questions i just want to do this right.

fat wont make you fat , eating to much ANYTHING will make you fat. you can be fat on salad. BUT I am going to link you to a site with some useful basics.

http://fitness.skippypodar.net/carbcycling.html

you will se results if you are determined and disciplined enough.

that whole website is chalk full of goodies.

also - you will need to set yourself a daily calorie goal.

I agree - it's good to hear you're interested in saving your life! Keto may be perfect for you, but like any cutting diet it won't be easy at first! Here are a couple links to help guide you on your way:

Definetely stick to these boards, read, learn and ask questions! Good luck!

Keto will be great for you. I've done every stupid diet out there and keto is the only one that let me lose weight and feel healthy. And without starving.

At this stage, keep your carbs low (lots of green veg and that's it) and don't worry about carb-ups or carb cycling. When you start serious weight training, then you can do carb-ups etc.

Base your diet on fresh meat, fish, eggs and lots of green veg. Don't be afraid to cook in butter and add olive oil to your salads. No fake or processed food, no net carb junk.

Eat when you are hungry and stop eating as soon as you are not hungry. Don't bother counting calories at this stage.

Since eating is a habit for most people, I'd suggest you develop some new habits to keep your hands and mind busy so that you don't eat by reflex. If you were female, I'd suggest cross-stitching, keeps hands busy and you don't want to get food on your work. I kind of like brain training games, and clipping research articles from BB magazines.

Make a deal with yourself that you will only eat at the table, and with the television off. When you are eating, concentrate on the food. Eat slowly and savour it. There is some very tasty food on keto, you might as well get to enjoy it.

Keep track of your blood work, you'll be amazed at how a diet with lots of fat, including lots of saturated fat, will improve all your risks for heart disease.

Don't go by the calorie recommendations. They don't work if you are very heavy or very light. Eat to hunger and stop when you are not hungry.
