Meat is not unhealthy. Just eat lean meats if you're worried about the fats, and eat more veggies.
Replace carbs with healthy veggies, not the meat. If youre worried about cholesterol eat less red meat.
Otherwise: eat more fish and mushrooms are a decent substitute

Vegetables are carbs you colossal spunk trumpet.

Not another ketofag...
Note: your brain runs on carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are good for you. The carbs just need to be whole foods, such as red rice, fruit, quinoa, etc.

brain runs on glucose.
OP, some alternatives to meat I eat on the regular are tofu, tempeh, and beans. You can also look into faux meats in your grocery store, but you really won't need that. Just replace something plant-based where you would otherwise be adding meat. For example, if you're making spaghetti, instead of adding beef, add a combination of onions, a bay leaf, mushrooms, carrots, celery, and oregano all sauteed in olive oil. If you don't add a source of fat in your meals (since you're not adding meat), you will feel hungry and unsatisfied. Tofu and potatoes are my go-to for places I'd otherwise be adding meat.
You should also purchase spices, because they come in very handy and add a ton of flavor. You can get bags of spices at your local Indian grocery for $2 each. Good spices to get are (besides the typical salt and pepper) cumin, curry powder, bay leaves, curry leaves (great for rice), star anise, oregano.

Yes, which comes from carbohydrates. Fat and protein result in very little glucose for the brain. http://www.ghc.org/healthAndWellness/?item=%2Fcommon%2FhealthAndWellness%2Fconditions%2Fdiabetes%2FglucoseSources.html

>Yes, which comes from carbohydrates
No, it comes from food, the article you linked even shows this.
I'm also type 1 diabetic and it's no different for us.
Go shitpost somewhere else.
homemade bean chili and bread. it's practically all I eat.

Yes, there's a certain amount of glucose coming from protein and fat, but does our body convert -enough- glucose from these macronutrients? No.
>Although our bodies change some (read: some) of the protein we eat into glucose, most of this glucose is stored in our liver and not released into our bloodstream.
>We turn less than 10 percent of the fat we eat into glucose.

Veggies are mostly water and fiber. You'd have to eat a gigantic bowl of salad to get the carb equivalent of a tiny plate of noodles or a piece of bread.

Not that guy but while the idear of ketofags all being braindead people sounds pretty endearing it is also most probably wrong.
Substantial brain deficency is a pretty big deal. Can you show me one study that shows keto isn't a safe diet for this reason?

Ive been doing this lately and I have had success with frittata. I mix egg whites in with my eggs half and half make a 12 inch and cut it up in tupperware for work lunch all week.
Also just got a pair of gallon mason jars and I am going to get into kimchi.

Fish & Seafood
Chicken
Turkey
Soy Products (like tofu if you want a substitute for meat)
Pretty much, swap out beef for leaner meats. Try to eat fish once a week. Load up at least half of your plate with veggies (a salad counts when you are first starting off). Cut back on unnecessary sugar and 'unhealthy' carbs like breads that aren't multigrain and pasta. Eat fruit in moderation (but definitely if you want to switch it out for something else for dessert it's the better choice), avoid store bought juice since they just load it with sugar. Basically smaller portion sizes, you can eat what you want within moderation, choose healthier snacks and swaps in meals, and cut back on candy, soda, and junk food.
Are you a 30 year old obese soccer mom? There is literally no reason to ever "cut back on meat". What you read in magazines doesn't count as science. Like maybe 5% of the human population eats too much meat, for the other 95% results from eating less of it will be minuscule and totally unnoticeable at best
chicken breasts and salmon. boom, done. chicken is healthy, full of protein, low fat and cheap. salmon is even healthier and full of omega 3s but a little more expensive. definitely affordable however depending on if you buy in bulk, a lot of stores have small dollar or even two dollar/lb discounts when you buy 3 lbs or more. $6/lb is justifiable if its good fish like salmon.
Just beef? Chicken would be a good choice for lean protein. Less beef, more chicken.

chicken sausages, the ones from sprouts are only 150kcal per 4oz

Dude meat for every meal is too much meat which is what the average American has everyday for all three meals
Also for that matter replacing meat with cheese doesn't count you should be eating plant protein based meals

That 5% mostly live in the western world where they make up over a third of the population.

a person on the keto diet is getting the pyruvate primarily from fat.
Pyruvate is the common breakdown product between glucose and fat.
In fact, per gram, it has a greater energy storage density than carbs.

Just think about what you're saying. Essentially humans would starve into brain death after not eating for 12 hours.
But we can fast for weeks with adequate fat reserves.
Why do you just come on here and post your stupid bullshit?
