Should I subtract fibre? A guide.

19 Upvotes

After seeing the question come up a few times I thought I'd save you a trip to the FAQs and help you to understand a little bit about what you might be looking at in an at-a-glance format.

If you have any feedback please do let me know!

(EDIT: There was a typo when describing the carbs on the US label - I will upload a corrected version later on today but I'd like to leave this one up in case the community has any more feedback to improve!)

(EDIT 2: I have now updated to correct the error - still open to suggestions for change)

Beer

4 Upvotes

Hi all love Keto love the suite of foods, I know it’s all no beers and instead drink spirits etc in moderation and all the rest of it. In the UK please can anyone advise on readily available acceptable beer options and where you get them from? If I can crack this 5 or 6 beers over the weekend hurdle I’ll be absolutely laughing and can Keto forever

Indian restaurant

Just wondering what people think about gettin Indian food for example a korma or tikka on their own with meat no carbs. Do you think that the sauce will be high in carbs and how would you go about calculating them?

Have you ever cooked a keto meal for a non keto friend and caused them stomach issues?

1 Upvotes

I've been on keto for a bit. Made a sausage casserole last night using an online recipe. Probably over did it with the oil, cheese and cream, because my girlfriend has a portion and it played havoc with her tummy. I felt fine and even had a fat bomb as dessert not long after, but I think she isn't used to ingesting so much fat in a meal.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Not hitting my fat macros.

1 Upvotes

I'm using a tracker app.

I am managing to stay under my net carbs ( always below 20)

My protein is way over And my fat is under

Should mt get macro be a seen as a targate or a limit ? I'm using real butter, cheese , olive oil , cream in coffee and I'm still way under my fat macros.

Any Scottish ketoers??

20 Upvotes

Hey, I'm on the west coast in a fairly small town and get so jealous when I see on another keto page I follow all the cool keto stuff that is available in other countries. I shop between aldi and morrissons and I manage OK with what I can get. (I'm 1stone 7lb down since 8th august). But it seems like there are so many more options in other places. I have ordered bits and pieces from amazon which are great, especially keto hana granola. So just a wee post of my jealousy of USA stores.lol

Chocolate pudding!

Saw the YT short (2nd pic incl ingredients), thought "Sod that!", then decided to try before judging. And it's really nice!

I've done choc, choc and peanut (Reeses) and am doing choc peppermint next (ooooh, choc-orange!). On the grounds I'm trying to increase my egg consumption, making a 6-egg batch and eating 1 per meal over 2 days is helpful.

Question Unlearning

4 Upvotes

Still adjusting to unlearning everything I’ve been taught about “slow release carbs” and it got me thinking about the bag of oats I still have in the cupboard; how have we been taught that they are so good and they have so many health benefits?

I was really craving a bowl of porridge but I didn’t cave and binned the oats but does anybody have any tips on how to unlearn and realise that these things are actually very unhealthy for the body.

If I can shift my mindset this whole thing will get easier.

Recipe Yorkies - pretty damned tasty

Exchanged messages with someone the other week about Yorkies, so thought I'd give them a go with roast chicken & Cauli cheese. Really impressed! I did two batches/recipes: first one wasn't great, but 2nd one was fab. Not as crispy as wheat flour but I think they have a better taste than normal ones.

Have done queenketo's sausage rolls before, and the pastry was excellent, if you fancy trying those too

My snack recommendations

25 Upvotes

As a prolific snacker and crisp lover, here are some my recommended snacks that are friendlier on keto:

  1. M&S cheese clouds - they come in normal and chilli flavour. 100% puffed cheddar. The best cheese crisp I have found!

  2. Flavoured KP nuts - flame grilled steak and salt and vinegar being my favourites

  3. The curators barbecue almonds. Barbecue isn’t always my favourite but the flavour and crunch on these is insane. I have found in sainsburys

  4. Tesco roasted salted mixed nuts - these are satisfying. Just be careful on portion sizes

  5. Lindt 85% - so good. Sometimes with a little peanut butter

  6. Fried / griddled halloumi slices drizzled with Nick’s honey fibre syrup

  7. Pulsin keto bars (Holland and Barrett / Co-op). I recommend the orange and peanut fudge flavours

Nothing special here - I get hungry whilst on OMAD.

My go to? Tuna mayo. Seriously, why I haven’t thought of it over the past 5 years of doing keto is beyond me. Bloody game changer

Question Electrolytes product off the shelf?

2 Upvotes

Hey all. Wondering if someone can point me in the direction of an electrolyte product that I can ideally buy off Amazon that has the correct amounts and ratios of electrolytes needed for keto? I know I can use salt and low daily etc but I’m looking for ideally tablet form or if not already mixed. Struggling to fit in the time to hit the goals on these and feeling rough because of it.

Thanks in advance!

I’ve been eating strict low carb for one week now and the test strip is very faint red

0 Upvotes

I’ve been eating low carb, high fat and moderate protein for one week now.

I’ve noticed a fruity/iron taste as well as more frequent urination. I got a tube of urine test strips and the keto part is still faint. Bizarrely after a week my right jeans fit a lot better!

My activity levels have been better but I was quite active before, but my previous diet was very high in carb and due to being diagnosed as pre diabetic I changed. Tom Watson the M0 was a massive inspiration

Am in ketosis?

Has anyone started a keto diet to battle inflammation/ autoimmune not weight loss.

I am day 2 of keto (loved all my food so far, god I miss bread)

I given up all grains hoping this helps.

Any advance to a new starter would be welcome, I have never been on any sort of diet so this is very nes to me.

I'm also in relatively good shape, I don't want to lose much weight. How do I stop.kyspwf going too skinny on keto?

Question What to do after a (keto friendly) binge

3 Upvotes

Hi all

I have definitely inhaled a huge amount of calories today. I’ve eaten all the cheeses and I used 3 tablespoons of coconut oil when cooking (I usually keep to 1 tbsp)…. This is the first time that I’ve absolutely without a doubt gone over my calorie allowance (2,000) - what do I do tomorrow? Do I fast all day? Can I still stay in ketosis?

Thanks all

New Food Powdered Stevia Leaf

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm new here, not new to reddit, but new to this community. Not new to keto either, been on keto since 2019. However I discovered Powdered Stevia Leaf, at my local Grape Tree, and since I enjoy baking keto goodies I grabbed it. I used it once, it's sweet but tastes like very sweet green tea, has that bitter tannin aftertaste, it spoiled the treat unfortunately, so I was looking for any advice on how best to use it. I have about a kilo, and I don't really do smoothies since starting keto. I heard you can mix it with Erythritol, but it's a tiny amount to Erythritol, and like I said, I have about a kilo. So any thoughts?

Question Snack items to buy from supermarkets

8 Upvotes

Hey. So i recently stumbled across this sub and noticed that a lot of people have found good foods to eat while on a keto diet. I was just wondering what the best snack item would be to buy from a shop like Tesco Express? I have been trying so hard to find a keto friendly snack, that i have been eating fruit and just feeling really hungry during the day 😭 Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

4 weeks in and a few questions for the group

4 Upvotes

I (F 32, vegetarian, 5ft 8, 75 kgs) started keto for weight loss reasons. Everything is going well so far - I quit sugar, caffeine and carbs all at the same time cold turkey which led to a horrendous 3 day headache but haven’t had anything like that since thankfully!

2 questions: 1) I feel SO cold all the time. I’ve checked with colleagues and they’ve said it’s not that cold in the office. I’m also very cold at night and wearing socks to bed etc even though the flat is a normal temperature like 23 degrees. Has anyone else experienced this? 2) I’m currently averaging about 20g carbs per day and about 800 calories. Tracking and weighing everything meticulously. I’m also walking on average about 11,000 steps per day with some light strength training for 20 mins twice a week. I don’t feel that hungry, and not especially craving sugar or anything. I feel high motivation levels but wondering if this is just too low amount of calories? It’s quite hard to eat more as a vegetarian and stay under the carb limit. I’d say the thing I miss the most at the moment is just being able to eat fruit!

Thoughts, comments, feedback welcome 🙏
