Aldi low carb wraps. Bakers Life

https://preview.redd.it/vk47jok87c6e1.jpg?width=388&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a16e787f1e3061ce26c1d22ca36e1d8079807010

I've been struggling to find any of the Woolworths low carb wraps the last few weeks, thought I'd post these as an FYI because they're stocked up at Aldi and are currently $3.69 which is a nice saving from Woolies ones at $5.50. Making enchiladas tonight.

Edit to add macros: per 42g wrap - 5.2g carbs, 8.2g protein, 7g fibre

Powdered apple cider vinegar

Hi team,

Is there a apple cider vinegar + lemon product on the market for travel or just on the go?

I find ACV immensely helpful while fasting

Long haul flight , need advice

About to fly to Europe next week, after 2 years of keto ( not deviated from the plan at all ) what would my best plan be to see through the misery of long distance flying. I mentally cannot cope with the idea of eating off plan ( even once ) , do I just pack a keto protein bar and just but my big boy pants on and skip the majority of my calories for the day , I typically IF for 21 hours and restrict food fron 4 - 7, I acknowledge I may not have a healthy relationship with food but it's something I'm slowly trying to work on the background noise and reducing the energy it takes up, that however dosent help me in a few days

Polydextrose in a keto diet

Hi all, curious with people's experiences with "keto-friendly" foods and the use of polydextrose as a sweetener. Is this one of the "too good to be true" sweeteners where it's still relatively high in carbs but able to be marketed as keto friendly. Any insights welcome.

Chokolata Flave is my favorite Keto confectionary by a long shot.

Found out about this last month from another post in here. Just wanted to say as someone that doesn’t mind the taste of sweeteners this is the real deal, an entire bar fits my macros nicely if I really want to pig out, nothing else comes close imo. Caramel filling is nice and kind of reminds me of caramello koalas without being as overly indulgent, honeycomb is unique and has a good mouthfeel. I can finally stop buying Quest Reese’s cups for $40 on Amazon now and for that I’m grateful. 🥲

Beef and Dairy Brands without the Bovaer Cow Food Supplement?

Recently, there was news that Coles and a few other companies have been adding the Bovaer supplement to cow feed for the past two years or so. This effort aims to save the planet, by reducing cow flatulence.

The issue, however, is that they haven't labeled the products—beef, milk, cheese, etc.—that are derived from animals fed with this supplement. It appears that products like "Coles Finest Beef" and certain milk brands are among those affected.

Has anyone reached out to local brands to compile a list of brands that do not use this supplement?

Keto and increased body odour

Have been doing keto for a couple of months now and something I’ve noticed as the weather is heading towards summer temps is that my body odour has increased. Normally I hold up alright even on a warm day but now I’m getting a whiff much earlier in the day. Is this common?

Struggling to get it to catch on a second time

Looking for any similar experiences and helpful suggestions anybody may be able to share.

I am based in VIC and in 2022 I went on keto with amazing results, losing 36kg in around 10 months.

It was a change I was very proud at the time as I started at 156kg and began to plateau around 120kg.

For the past 5 weeks I have been struggling to get it started again and the scale has barely moved in this time and I remain around the 127-129kg mark.

I tend to eat 1-2 good meals a day, skipping breakfast and usually not consuming anything apart from liquids till after 12pm.

Meals are mainly meats, salads with light vinegar dressing (usually homemade), cheese and deli cuts including sausages like Chorizo grilled in a pan. Once or twice a week I may have bacon and scrambled eggs with a side of half an avocado.

If I am out of the house my go to options have been a double burger from Maccas or HJ without the buns and ketchup, or kebab meat (lamb/chicken) with salad and garlic sauce on the side.

Snacks in between are Muscle Nation and Atkins bars (usually 1 a day), cheese/salami and deli cuts, no more than 1 cup of berries, nuts and nut butters in moderation up to 2 tablespoons.

My daily suppliments are 1 chewable magnesium dose, 3-5 500mg Brewers Yeast and 1000iu Vitamin D3.

I have been to multiple GPs since beginning my keto journey and rarely are they interested or even aware of keto's existence. So I am mainly following Dr Eric Berg and Thomas Delaur on YouTube.

How do you supplement electrolytes?

Very new to this. I am just wondering do you supplement electrolytes. If so, what product do you use and how often do you supplement?

Low carb emporium thoughts?

Hi I have bought a few things from there. I didn't like the low carb emporium protein chips but love the amazeballs. I have some lollys and beef 2 minute noodle type things. But what does everyone else buy/enjoy? I was thinking of getting their syrups

Best protein keto bar

So confused over protein/meal replacement bars on keto. Generally most of them say low carb but I know all the sweeteners aren’t created equal.

What would be the best keto bar to have as a quick snack or instead of a meal on occasion that is actually keto friendly?

Such a thing as too much coffee?

I drink plain black coffee (and tea) - lots of it - about 8-14 cups a day. Not here for shade on how much I drink - its a problem and I'm working on it.

My question is could the caffeine boot me out of ketosis? No sweeteners or milk used, just filter coffee or teabag.

Sad about Denada? Try this

If you’re sad about Denada reformulating and no longer being as low carb, I tried this for the first time today and it’s not bad. It won’t work for clean keto as it has maltitol, but it works just fine for dirty keto. 👍🏻

Meat Recommendations

I've been doing Keto for a bit over 4 months and haven't lost any weight (47m 165cm 74kgs). In the past couple of weeks I have made some small changes such as removing carrot and onion from my diet and reducing my cheese intake from 40g to 20g. Obviously it is too soon to determine what, if any effect this will have on my weight. I have also increased my exercise.

I suspect I am consuming too many calories. I eat a lot of lamb shoulder roast, pork leg roast and chicken drumsticks that are all high in fat. I was planning on eating more leaner meat. What would you recommend?

I only drink water and 1 to 2 cups of tea per day (no added milk or sugar). I have also stopped eating Keto cereal as it is high in calories and replaced it with extra eggs from 2 per day to 4 per day.

Don't buy Quest Chips online from Chemist Warehouse.

Edit: I sent a further email to the manager, and got my refund! Yay!

Chemist Warehouse had Quest Chips for $2.99, and my local supermarket doesn't stock them at all, so I ordered 6 packets, including three different flavours.

Three days later, I received a message to say they could only supply 2 packets of one flavour.

They didn't dispatch the order until four days after that. It spent 10 days in transit.

When the two packets of chips arrived, they were crushed into tiny pieces. I was going to make nachos with them, but that wasn't possible.

I contacted Chemist Warehouse to explain the issue and request a refund for the chips. I can live without the money, but I thought it would be a good idea to let them know they're selling products that are not up to scratch.

They emailed me requesting further info. I sent them a photo.

I just heard back: "it doesn't look like I will be able to give you the refund for the chips...I am sorry for the inconvenience of this order."

This $3.3bn company can't afford to give me a refund of $5.98.

The order seems to have been filled by a store in Ellenbrook, Western Australia. So just a heads-up, if you see decent prices on low carb/high protein food items on the Chemist Warehouse website, whichever store happens to have stock lying around is going to fill that order, regardless of the conditon of the products.

They might take two weeks to get to you, and they probably spend quite a lot of that time in the back of a warm truck.

Edit: I had another email from Chemist Warehouse to clarify that they're not refunding me because the damage is "cosmetic and not physical damage." I'm way beyond caring about the actual chips at this point, but I'd love to know how "cosmetic damage" differs from "physical" in relation to chips. If you bought a loaf of bread that arrived as a bag of crumbs, would that not be "physical?"

Silly Mistake I made at lunch

So I got excited knowing that you can get any time a Betty's Burgers as a "bare burger" so I get items without the bun and without sauce. Normally I get the Bare Betty. But today I thought why don't I get the double bare betty (nutritional info for this is not supplied but the standard double is) . It. has 2 beef patties, bacon, pickle cheese, onion mustard all wrapped in 2 lettuce leaves. Well I thought i'd better look at the nutritional info and while it wasn't for the bare burger it had 18gm of sugar, 27 carbs I hope I haven't done my dient any harm I'm only up to day 5. Do you think a Bare Betty Double burger would have such bad nutrional information?
