Hey Sam ,
Just like you I dropped 8 pounds in 8 days. I thought, "man, I'll be done with this in no time!"...then went through a few "stalls" of not much fault of my own. It happens. But, I'm still losing after 3 months and right about 30 pounds off...20 pounds to go.
The cooking thing was especially hard for me. I love to cook and have been cooking a huge variety of stuff. It's been a little disappointing, half my meals are just average now, and some are still as awesome as ever. We had NY Strip steak and grilled/griddled asparagus last night with Bearnaise sauce (a sauce I never made before coming here, I used to make Hollandaise, but never put it on steak)...and it was fantastic. So there are some meals that are just like what we had before (we had stopped eating baked potatoes most of the time with steak years ago), but some cant be the same...like spaghetti and lasagna. Yes, you can do zucchini noodles, and vegetable lasagna and there are some other noddle substitutes out there, but just not the same. There are some new keto pastas and breads, but most of them are way too expensive right now.
Best of fortunes with your new diet!
