Obviously listen to your dr over me, but it's a common 'mistake' with keto to not up your fat enough. More fatty meat might actually work out better for you than turkey. Take a look at The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living for more info on the importance of keeping your fat to protein ratio high.

Very good point. I didn't mention it, but I am eating garlic stuffed olives for electrolytes and fat.

edit: forgot to mention too that I make the protein shakes with almond milk which has a few grams of fat per serving as well.

May I ask exactly how the garlic is treated and exactly what olives you are eating?

I like Mezzetta. Ingredients: Olives, water, garlic (cloves), sea salt, lactic acid, sodium bisulfite, and "natural garlic flavor"

They are large green olives from Napa Valley. I'm not that knowledgable about olives so I can't say more than that.
