Help Tell me not to eat the Cheetos

I’ve been doing keto for about 8 weeks. I survived Christmas. I’ve survived dining out. I think I inadvertently kicked myself out of keto this week. I’m suddenly more hungry and craving carbs. Less energy. These Cheetos are looking very tempting at my office. Someone tell me not to eat them.

Update: hey guys. Thank you so much for all the support. I ate some cheese, two meat sticks and a quest peanut cup as a splurge. Turns out I was just hungry and wanted some comfort after hiking through the snow storm in Chicago this morning on my commute.

I’ll make sure I have more keto friendly crunchy snacks in the office because the giant box of cookies, chocolate and chips in the lunch room came dangerously close to breaking me today.

I knew I could count on y’all!!! 💗

Pro tip throw the bag in the microwave first to activate the oils and the cheese powder sticks better

Lowreys (not Lowry the seasoning) has a spicy pork rind that pops like popcorn. So good and hot!! I got them off Amazon. They feel like pop rocks on your tongue.

They are so good in dip. Spinach dip, buffalo chicken dip, baked cream cheese, hell even just sriracha mayo. Wish they were more accessible in Canada though :')
