I definitely have to be more organised. I can't just grab a snack/lunch at the bakery, etc like I used to (I have a french bakery next to me at work where I used to get lunch). But things like flax bread/pancakes, etc take no time at all to make (5mins prep). I make a double batch of fat bombs, cookies/cake (for DD and me) and soup on a weekend.
Sometimes I get annoyed that I have to make cauliflower rice/zoodles when I get home from work if we are having something that requires them, but it's not a big deal. (I make cauli rice and freeze individual batches but they always run out on a work day lol). We used to have to have takeaway once a week, now it's no so easy, which is annoying if I can't be stuffed, but I get over it. I still eat BBQ chicken so that's a good fallback.
I have always spent one day a weekend baking/cooking meals so it's not much different.
My DD will eat a lot of what I do. DP is more resistant. He will get there...I can be very persuasive (read: nagging) when I want
Eta - my really exciting news for the day (for me anyway) is my mum and dad are now converts! My dad is MrCynical/Logical/Science Brain. He has read all of the books and has gone from being highly sceptical a couple of months ago to telling mum "We are changing the way we eat" just yesterday. He has a science degree and teaches biology (he also has cholesterol and blood pressure issues) so I thought he'd be a hard nut to crack, but he has come around after reading the studies. I'm really glad (It's also validation for me, who doesn't have a science brain, that the science behind it all is sound.

Melt the butter in a small microwave safe bowl (about 30 seconds in microwave). Add the remaining ingredients and stir until combined. Pour batter into 2 small greased mugs or ramekins. Microwave for 1 minute. (add another 30 seconds if necessary). Serve with whipped cream or sugar free vanilla ice cream.

Eta - I left out the nuts so macros would be less.
Hi N2L, yes still going, af is on her way so the scales went up this morning. Yesterday they were hovering on 77.9kg which is over 5kg down!
I have been suffering with dry mouth which apparantly is a ketosis symptom - just feels 'sticky' all the time and need to be constantly drinking water - suggestions?
Also been having a bit of trouble sleeping which can be a symptom too.
I went to PD day on Saturday and the nutrition section was all about limiting carbs, eating good fats, etc. I have been telling a work mate who'd noticed the weight loss what I was doing and she was, wow, that's exactly all the stuff you've told me!
