This Keto diet sucks…

Chilli garlic butter surf and turf with a side of brocolli (out of shot). 750 calories, 4 grams of carbs.

Not sure if Lite and Easy do this option?

Wraps made of Sardine, eggs and gelatine - cannot believe I've been sleeping on this recipe!

I copied this recipe down from somewhere on the internet ages ago and I've only just made them today. They are amazing, cheap to make, are only 3 ingredients and carnivore too! They don't tear when filled and don't have a fishy taste. I added oregano garlic powder and paprika as my flavouring. I also cut a few into a pita crisp shape and baked them in the oven on low until they turned into a dry cracker.

Anyway...I thought I'd share here if anyone is interested and would like to try it out.

1 tin of drained sardines (I used the Aldi ones)

3 eggs (I used the XL eggs from the 800g carton)

1 tsp of powdered gelatine

Whatever herbs and spices you like

Blitz everything together in a bullet or food processor until you get a smooth liquid consistency.

Cook on a buttered frying pan like you would pancakes. I used a 24cm frying pan and got 4 wrap out of the mixture.

What electrolytes are keto ?

I'm on day 2 of keto and am so dehydrated, even though I'm drinking water constantly. The one in the pic is all I can find over here in my local in new zealand. Is this keto?

The original Smart protein bars have released new flavours

The original Smart protein bar company have updated their brand/wrappers and released a stack of new flavours. I much prefer these bars vs the similar "cold pressed" brand ones.
Super excited to try these, especially the cookie dough and Raphaello ones.

Sparkling mineral water or soda water

What's everyone's favourite flavoured mineral water or soda water, I've tried a few and most of them are tastless or have a weird aftertaste. Really trying to kick my diet coke addiction but not finding anything hitting the spot really.

What are your hints and tips around the absolute easiest way to survive?

Hi everyone,

I'm recovering from a significant knee injury (and other health issues) that severely limits my ability to stand and cook. Living alone, this makes food prep a real challenge. I've been relying on intermittent fasting to minimize takeaway meals, but it's not a sustainable or healthy solution.

I'm looking for suggestions on the easiest way to maintain a mostly keto diet given my limitations. Simple and repetitive meals are absolutely fine – in fact, preferred! While I'm fortunate to have a decent remote job, the rising cost of groceries is still a factor. I do have access to a Costco.

Don't hate me but I'm actually located in NZ. The NZ version of this subreddit is unfortunately quite small. I'm hoping the larger Australian keto community might have some helpful advice, as I imagine product availability (especially at Costco) is quite similar.

Any tips, or product recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Eating vegetables on keto

I was curious about whether many of you eat a lot of vegetables on Keto - and is it around that recommended 5 serves per day? Or do you do more of a carnivore keto?

If you do get in the 5 serves, which veg is your go-to? I'm big on cucumbers, kale and broccoli.

Alternative to Musashi Electrolytes Blue Raspberry

Hi all,

My fiance and I are looking at moving on to Keto and just getting everything planned out.

We both use Musashi Electrolytes Blue Raspberry which we both enjoy and love the taste of. We are just hoping if anyone could possibly recommend some Keto friendly alternatives?

I have put a photo of the ingredients if that could help out.

Thanks for any recommendations:)

Can anyone give me a more precise insulin tapering plan for DI2?

I’ve been full keto for 10 days now. My insulin shots have gone from 90 units to 20. And I still got woken up by my CGI alarm at 4am. I was 3.9. I spoke to my doc on Tuesday night when I went down to 80 units. Then I told him my average sugar had been 5.5. He said you can drop it by 20 at a time if you want while your getting those numbers. I told him I had quit sugar and wheat completely. He has been my dr for 20 years so he knows my story. Now it’s Sunday, and my numbers are up to 6.0-6.5. That’s down to me eating two punnets of strawberries and having some Hydralyte. Should I stick at 20 units or keep coming down (or even off!). I’ve been planning keto for months. And I gradually got into the carb cutting. But since I went full bore (I’ve been 20 grams carbs everyday for the last 10). Would love some advice for those in the know.

I would pay $10 per loaf for low carb bread that didn’t taste like cardboard

I think that’s the biggest hurdle for keto for me, is not being able to have some quick toast or make a nice sandwich

I’ve tried what I think is all the low carb breads on the market and I can never get through more than a few slices after the purchase

Costco Low Carb Buys

Hi Guys, I did a semi-thorough sweep of Costco Cross Roads a few months ago, and found some good low carb options.. but I am sure there's probably more.

Any suggestions or must have? :) I am going again in the next fortnight to stock up for the month. I am low carb (diabetic), not full keto.

What milk do you have in coffee?

New to keto!

I love my coffee and tend to drink full cream milk, soy milk (bonsoy), oat milk (oatly or califia) or some combination of them all. I’ve tried a bunch of other milks (almond, pea etc) but haven’t found one that is similarly palletable or creamy!?

All suggestions are welcomed!

Chia pudding - how do you make yours to taste good the day after?

I made a raspberry chia pudding.

Next I’m going to try coffee flavour instead. I also plan to use the super-sweet keto protein powder.

When I made it last night it tasted a bit bland so I added extra flavour and it tasted great. But this morning it was bland as:

  • 1 cup coconut milk - I will probably switch this out for almond milk next time to reduce calories

  • 1/2 cup almond milk (unsweetened)

  • 1/2 cup raspberries

  • 2 tsp sugar-free vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup black chia seeds

  • A dash of monk fruit sweetener

  • A cap full of of sugar-free raspberry cordial

What would you have done differently?

What’s your fav?

Considering KETO but overwhelmed with information for food ideas

Hi,

I'm considering KETO (may ease into it with a lower carb style where I only have carbs in the evening). However, there is so much information out there on meal ideas that I feel overwhelmed as to where to start. Can anyone link me to simple meal ideas that list breakfast, lunch and dinner suggestions, with some variations on each meal, that they have found helpful to sustain a healthy keto based diet.

I like vegetables very much and so anything that incorporates a great deal of vegetables would be an extra.

Cheers

Had a chicken snack pack from the local kebab shop…

Forgot my lunch and got a chicken snack pack…chicken, lettuce, cheese, tomato, onion and I think tabouli…checked my ketones this afternoon and it had bumped me out of ketosis. Only thing I can think is that there must have been dressing on the tabouli?

Anyone experienced this before?

Keto stovetop pizza - my fav treat

As someone who is a fan of thin crust pizza this works best for me as a base.

  • Keto wrap
  • Pilpel Garlic dip
  • Laoganma crispy chilli oil
  • Pepperoni
  • Mushrooms
  • Cheese

I put the pepperoni and mushroom in a frying pan.

Whilst they are cooking I spread the garlic dip, then the chilli oil over the wrap.

I add the freshly cooked meat and mushrooms on top then slide back in the pan and add cheese. Cook until cheese is melted.

Pic isn’t the best as the ingredients slide when sliding it out on the plate but it taste amazing when I crave pizza. And it’s surprisingly filling.

My keto dinner in case anyone needs inspiration

Thought I'd share my super lazy keto dinner to you guys in case anyone is looking for lazy dinner inspo.

This is my skin on Maryland cut from Coles. I patted it dry with paper towels, put it into one of those silicone airfryer liners, sprayed it with Canola oil, sprinkled it with my herb/spice mix and put it in the airfryer at 190°C - 15mins bottom up first, then turned it over for another 20mins skin up.

The veg is just a packet of steam fresh. After putting the chicken on my plate, I tipped the silicone liner to get the juices out that came from the chicken, then just mixed the steamed veg u to it. That way, you get flavour on the veg without a lot of extra calories.

It's not pretty but it's tasty and the skin is crispy.

Ignore the red. I cut it open already to check and it's fully cooked through.

Spoon and fork cos I'm south east Asian and that's just what I'm used to using to eat with.
