When I had covid, I went off of my low-carb diet. It has been very difficult getting back onto it.
I want to double-down on treating sugar as an addiction. A little leads to a lot. Even "keto" chocolate bars that are artificially sweetened lead me to crave other sugary foods.
The other thing that has been difficult is that I have been trying to cut my food budget. I learned back in November that there is something akin to "hedonic satiety", where you have to replace sugary sweet meals with well-prepared savory meals. These are not conducive to cutting food funds.
So what to do? I had a good "keto" day today. I think I'm resolved to find savings in other areas other than food -- to get back to having satisfying (hedonically satisfying) savory meals at restaurants. It lead to my early success, so I feel I can rely on it.
