Some things I've done recently that have had good success (in order of impact).

Let me know what you think.

1) Reduce salt (by never mixing it)

If you (think you) want it: eat it seperatly, away from other food.

Don't mix it in anything, not even water. If you mix it, it will start cravings.

Modern bread/food has become an important delivery vehicle of mixed salt.

It is addictive when mixed, foodmanufacturers know this.

Reduce it as much as you can.

This is independent of keto or other diet.

2) Don't live in the swamp (don't mix your main sources of calories (fat and carbohydrates))

Switching from keto to a regular carbohydrate diet takes time and has a penalty.

Modern bread/food is very swampy.

Pick your place on the side of the swamp and stay there for a few months.

3) Reduce the volume of protein

High protein volume used to be a signal that a large kill was made and it needed to be eaten before it spoils: time to fatten/build up and start the cravings

This is independent of keto or other diet.

4) PUFA is evil

It breaks something in the metabolism.

Reduce it as much as you can.

Modern bread/food is an important delivery vehicle of PUFA

This is independent of keto or other diet.
