            Well that's a start, dear....When you get into the routine, you'll not even miss the refined sugars...
            And as for yeast flakes, they are a natural food source, comprised of all the B complex vitamins.....I take a couple of teaspoons, every day...Some people like to sprinkle them on other foods...
            They help the nerves and nervous system...
            Actually, anyone suffering from fidgety (restless) legs, should take a spoon and it will clear up very quickly...
            I remember my mum suffering from this, when I was younger....I wish I could have told her the solution, then...It works so well...
            Any problem to do with nerves, can be remedied with one or more of the B vitamins...
            Sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system..
            
            And of course, taking all the B-complex, contained within such a good source as yeast flakes, is part of a healthy diet...
            One thing Berg always mentions, is to try to get the 100% natural flakes, without the fortified B12 added...

              Thanks! I will add yeast flakes to my shopping list and pick an organic brand.
              
              I’m not planning to add artificial sweeteners to my meals. I like to keep things simple and natural. I’m not so desperate for sugars yet. Unless it’s chocolate cookies 😇
              
              I have this sirup that contains 68% sugar 😄
              
              If I would mix a tiny teaspoon of sirup into a low carb meal, maybe I could still use it as a sweetener. Same for sweet fruits, I may still want to eat them occasionally.
              
              I looked for low carb/Keto friendly bread. I found several recipies with almond and coconut flour. That caught my attention. But instead of bread, I may try pancakes or wraps first, easy to make and it goes with many different meals.

                🥥 Every day a teaspoon of coconut oil already resulted in a softer and more nourished skin, also my hair feels softer.
                
                Coconut oil is lightweight and easy to digest. I’m a bit disappointed that it doesn’t taste as coconutty as I expected.
                
                Previously I’ve been using it mostly on my skin and hair.

                Yum, yummy..!! 🥞🤗 I think there are plenty of keto alternatives....Pancakes are nice...I also like the "keto bombs" Berg's wife recommends, which use stevia choc, with nuts....Not that I snack a great deal, but for people who really feel the need to snack, in their "eating window" time period, than these are satisfying...
                
                Hey, did I mention that I like to take a spoon of Berg's "Wheat Grass Juice Powder" every day, mixed in half a glass of water....? A couple of years ago, Berg was offering this in it's natural form, which frankly tasted like pond water...Frogs, weeds, tadpoles, the lot...hehe...!!🤢🐸
                
                But then he thankfully started adding stevia sweetner, lemon flavour, to the powder.....
                Now that makes the drinking experience so much better....😄It was always healthy, but tastes better than before...It's palatable, now.
                If you're thinking of getting some, it's possible to find plenty of sellers on e-Bay....

                  I will stay with vegs, fruits, oils and nuts for now 🐿
                  
                  When necessary I may add supplements like minerals.
                  
                  I’m planning to order organic nuts online. Maybe 2 kg in total, that would make perfect snacks. The bags are sealed, so these nuts are edible for 2 or 3 months.
                  
                  Raisins are my favorite snack. The jury is still not out on them. Maybe I buy less and mix them with the nuts.
                  
                  Peanut butter, nut butters/spread, do you ever use them? I’m glad I can keep those.
                  
                  I need to see what Dr. Berg has to say about milk. To make my type of wraps, which may be a perfect bread replacement. I occasionally drink milk, but not much.

                    “Unripe bananas contain mostly starch, which makes up 70–80% of their dry weight.
                    
                    However, bananas lose their starch as they ripen.
                    
                    During ripening, the starch is converted into simple sugars (sucrose, glucose, and fructose). Interestingly, ripe bananas contain only 1% starch.”

                    A national dish here: kale, mashed potatoes and a sausage 😁
                    
                    I downloaded a carb list: how many carbs can be found in what food 😮
                    
                    More shocking: the official recommendations from the government sponsored food center, including: eat less meat, less saturated fats and climate talk propaganda.
                    
                    Recommended for adults:
                    - Calories: 2000
                    - Carbs: 260 gr.
                    - Sugars: 90 gr.
                    - Total fats: 70 gr.
                    - Included saturated fats: 20 gr.
                    - Protein: 50 gr.
                    - Salt: 6 gr.
                    
                    The recommendations are different for people with diabetes: 50-130 gr. carbs daily.

                    These blenders are useful if you are including kale in the diet, as eating it as a salad, is unpleasant....
                    
                    I used to blend, for about 6-months of keto, but then changed to spinach, avocados, red chard and others, so no longer took kale...
                    
                    Try it out and let me know how you cope with it...

  Food wisdom: when we eat more saturated fats, we have less food cravings, thus less cravings for carbs and sugar.
  
  This data comes from Dr. Berg and he is right.
  
  Fats, protein and carbs all fill up, but we should pick the healthiest options.
  
  So instead of getting my carbs from bread or pasta, I should try to get my carbs from fresh food instead of processed food.
  
  Some things will be easy to replace: oils and real butter instead of plant based butter. But totally leaving bread out, I will go slow-motion. Meat & fish, I will look into it. Maybe thin slices first.
