I've been putting a concentrated effort into weight loss for the past six months. Over the past month and a half, I started doing keto for extra appetite suppression, but also becauce glycogen encourages water retention and I've had issues with that. I'm doing kind of ok. Got a blood ketone meter that's sort of jumping around. I'm finding it pretty easy to maintain a calorie deficit. The problem comes that being autistic and having reduced options of what I can eat... well it's harder to enjoy food these days.
Texture is the worst for me when it comes to food. I ordered these keto pizza bases the other day and made a simple pizza. Took a few bites and enjoyed it reasonably well. Until I found a large seed in it. Suddenly my appetite was gone and the pizza bases are unusable. I really hate having too many textures in my food. And of course the diet itself isn't the cheapest. Right now I'm snacking on some cheddar and iberico ham, but that's a rare treat.
Anyone else here on the diet? And if there are, how have you found managing meals?
