Want to try Keto again

I had previously done keto, and it worked extremely well. After the first week or so, I stopped having cravings and I ended up doing it for over 6 months straight and lost near 70lbs. It wasn't really the diet I had issues with, but more of I know I was doing it wrong. I was getting constipated and knew it was the keto that was causing it. Is there anything that is keto friendly, and high in fiber that I can consistently eat when I am a picky eater? Like I don't like leafy veggies or avocado which I know can help with that. I want to do keto again, but I'm scared of destroying my bowels again. Just looking for recommendations. Also, how long is ideal to do keto before just doing a "pallet cleanse" and break it for a day or two then going back to it. And how do you keep the weight off when you stop doing keto? I also don't go to the gym, I hate the gym and don't have time go do it between working 2 jobs and what little free time I have I do my hobbies. Any help would be appreciated

For me I finally figured keto out fresh this year: 1 day broth fast so you feel true hunger and deplete a lot of sugar and glycogen storage After doing hard zero carb days including the feeling of constipation and than being adapted check out if you can buy keto breads they are my personal fiber secret sauce only 6 net carbs per 100 g Hopefully this helps for the beginning

  I forgot to mention that I never "felt" constipated. It was more of, I didn't have bowel movements for several days at a time and when I did, it would be pretty bad with some bleeding. I didn't really use keto bread, I actually used these small keto tortillas as bread replacement on quite a lot of things and they were fantastic and tasted good.

To keep the weight off you must maintain good habits, keto or not. A few years ago I lost a bunch of weight doing keto, and eventually switched to a more standard diet but kept the weight off because I wasn't bingeing anymore. As for fiber, I recently started using a fiber supplement (first a generic Walgreens brand and now psyllium husk, which is... interesting), and have been trying to eat more roasted vegetables like Brussels sprouts, asparagus, and broccoli. Just to note, there's a difference between going less often and being constipated, so unless you're having unpleasant symptoms, it's not unhealthy to only go every few days.

  The only veggies I like are carrots peas and green beans. 😅 There was someone else here that recommended that psyllium husk. I have never heard of it

Psyllium husk. Many pleasant ways to take it, including making a hot drink or a sort of porridge. I take it hot with unsweetened cherry juice, and a bit of yoghurt. Definitely look up dosage and general instructions on how to get to a good dosage. Too much too fast can be painful, all the way up to an actual medical emergency. Start low and go slow. Many benefits besides constipation relief as well. Good luck.

  I've never heard of that. I will have to check it out. Does it just taste bad or something?

constipation issues are generally best addressed with fixing your electrolyte intake. fiber is not an essential nutrient, and often it can just make constipation worse rather than helping.

You look at this like a lifestyle change, and not a temporary crash diet. At maintenance, some people can gradually add foods to increase their carbs and calories to their own personal tolerance. Anyone who "gets off keto" and goes back to their previous eating pattern is going to gain the weight back, absolutely. This thread is filled with stories. As for the constipation issue, including fibrous low carb vegetables, making sure you have plenty of hydration, paying attention to electrolytes especially magnesium, are all things to avoid that. There are high fiber products like psyllium husk, that you can take or include in your cooking to add fiber. Keto is generally a low residue diet though. For most people, the body adapts after a while.
