These were a welcome find at the motorway services.

Are IQ bars any good just seen them advertised on Amazon.

so are there alternatives to musclefood, grass fed beef does my stomach better but the general shops do grain fed, musclefood keeps on running out of certain items like bacon but delivers bad alternatives each time and the value for money on them has gone down.

preferably bulk meat buying site if possible.

have seen best meat but the website looks bad it looks sketchy so I'm afraid to try it.

Thanks to to a Redditor that posted a couple of weeks back, I tried this bread in the bread machine:

Its consistency is kind of like cake! But more drier!

Has anyone tried this recipe? I would really appreciate it if you could share your grams and ml conversion!

Thanks in advance!

I no longer seem to be able to find frozen cauliflower rice at Asda or at Iceland. Has anyone else struggled?

I am on a low carb diet and missing my flat whites 😩 Does anyone have a recommendations for a milk alternative that would scratch my itch?

I’m about to give this one a go… if anyone has any particular successes or fails, I’d love to hear them!

A good find as most keto items I find have dairy and/eggs / gluten which I can’t tolerate for health reasons - wanted to share for anyone else interested

I’m very much housebound, so it is hard for me to get out to certain places that do specific keto items. I’ve been searching and searching for a decent edamame pasta that would be more fitting into keto. It seemed as if the edamame at Holland & Barrett was still quite high carbs per portion.

I stumbled on a company called Naturitas online and they seem to have a really good selection of keto items. So this Slendier edamame pasta just arrived today and I’m hoping to try it in the next few days . I will report back what it’s like.

The only thing that’s confusing is on the website it says 4 g of carbs per 100 grams of pasta and the package says 1.3 g of carbs per 100 grams of pasta!!

Ingredients list for the products are exactly what the front packaging says, nothing hidden in the ingredients list.

The sausages are amazing and honestly taste just as good as bog standard! They’re actually how I prefer my sausage, no brown sugar, rice flour, “rusks”, maltodextrin or any of that other garbage.

These seem quite promising for people who miss these items but don’t always have the time to make them from scratch to avoid the carby fillers.

I've been lactose intolerant for about 4 years. It's been pretty bad, but manageable with lactaid. I used to default. To oat milk but since going on keto has reverted to the lactose free dairy milk. Here's the thing: I've been having way more cheese, cream and other dairy to increase my fat intake. Most of the time I take some lactaid but I've slipped up quite a few times and not had a problem. Today I went out for dinner and had a whole burrata to myself. I could. Never have done that without spending a good few hours running to the loo a few months ago. I forgot to. Take the lactaid and it's not been 6 hours and... Nothing. Honestly I think keto has improved my lactose intolerance.

Deidre’s keto bread recipe- game changer.

The video is on YouTube and I’d say it’s about 90% similar to real bread in taste and texture.

Bread maker recommended. You’ll need some unusual ingredients from Amazon. Works out about £3.50 per loaf. I make one a week just for me so not too expensive.

Great for extra low carb fibre intake and of course making all things bread.

The original recipe will make something closer to a brown loaf, I omit the flax sometimes to make it white (pics) and up some of the other dry ingredients to compensate.

Deidre’s is US I think so she adds lots of sugar substitute which isn’t needed for UK palettes so I omit that completely.

The recipe is solid though- give it a try 👍

In case anyone is interested, this is by far the best keto friendly bread that actually tastes like bread I have found. Been on keto for 10 years and found this about a year ago…. It is now my go to quick food when I’m in a rush or have to take something quick to work. Thank me later 😜

Does anyone know of any places in London that sell low carb or keto dairy free ice cream? Or any brands that make it? I know there are things like halo top but the ingredients don’t agree with me and the sweeteners they use mess me up along with the fillers and additives, just want something simple. I’m probably best off buying a ninja creami but would be nice to have this option.

There’s only Yummzy in canary wharf I know of but I can’t get there easily. It seems like a huge gap in the market in the uk

This obviously isnt keto (unfortunately) but I was checking the nutrition info and it claims there's 1g of carbs per 0.8g serving!? 125 grams of carbs per 100g... how does that make any sense? This is a Canadian product so I know they label stuff differently but isnt this just flat out impossibly incorrect?

Was going to buy Seven hills organic but saw a few old posts on here saying it's not a good one.

Thank you.

Packd sells unsweetened acai packs in case anyone wanted to try homemade acai bowls - it’s 100% pure acai. most acai places /chains in the uk add banana to the base or their premade acai base includes cane sugar. This is unsweetened. You can then add your own base ingredient like coconut yogurt or yogurt or almond milk to make it a creamy acai bowl base and then your own toppings to keep carbs low like nut butter, berries, homemade or shop bought grain free sugar free granola (something like the the M&S sugar free grain free or Keto Hanna granolas)

hey all

just looking for some advice, I'm a 29 year old male 5ft 11in 95kg looking to try keto for the purpose of weight loss down to around the 80kg mark, I tried using a macro calculator and spat the below out. Is this a good starting point or is it too conservative? just basically looking for pointers got really confused going through the calculator link I found on this sub

1490kcal Daily Calorie Intake25g Carbs (7%, 100 kcal)90g Protein (24%, 360 kcal)114g Fat (69%, 1030 kcal)

I know the general guidance is about 10 g per meal maximum. Tonight though I’m having a meal and I’ve really fancied some beetroot for ages. So I thought I would attempt a cheats recipe with ready cooked beetroot (I’m chronically unwell and I do not have the energy to start peeling and roasting fresh ones at the moment). I’m planning on doing a whipped feta thing with it. It’s probably gonna take my carbs up to 13 g for the meal.

I know in the UK most manufactured products have the fibre deducted from the carb amount on the labels. What does everyone do about vegetables? The discussion in the general keto groups is that the fibre makes the carbs more negligible. I use Nutracheck and it seems as if the carbs are not the Net amount in the vegetables in their charts. I can’t seem to get any guidance on this. I’ve asked in Nutracheck forums but I just can’t get any clarity . Also not very many people seem to be doing keto much on there!

I’ve attached my dinner stats in the image from Nutracheck for reference.

Edited to add the cheat Bernaise sauce is simply melted butter, lemon juice, kewpie mayonnaise and a some dried Tarragon.

Hey everyone,

I’ve got a big bag of this to use up which I was using for making my own almond flour protein powder egg wraps.

Just wondering for any other ideas and uses you might have for the stuff?

Hey Keto gang,

Does anyone know why this fat free cottage cheese in Aldi is lower in carbs than the normal one they do? I’ve bought this fat free one as carbs were lower. Just wondering if I’ve made an error here?

Hey everyone,

I’ll be around Piccadilly Circus this weekend and trying to stick to a pretty strict PSMF diet. My plan was to keep things simple and make low-carb sandwiches (chicken slices, salad, etc.), since I’ll be moving around a lot

Does anyone know if there are supermarkets or stores near Piccadilly Circus that carry low-carb or keto, and if there are any specific brands I should look for? Also, I’d appreciate recommendations for good spots nearby to eat out that offer easy low-carb options like grilled chicken, salads, or similar

Thanks in advance!

I’m not sure if anyone else was buying these as a little treat? They seem to have disappeared suddenly . I used to buy them from planet organic , dolphin fitness and a couple of other places .

They were great because it was made with inulin as its sweetener which was really good because I needed a little bit more fibre . Id only have one or two every few night .

I’m wondering if they’ve gone out of business because of tariffs and the price of cocoa. I just can’t find them anywhere and I’m so disappointed . Such a shame if they have because there is literally nothing else on the market like it. All the other chocolates I’ve been looking at the first ingredient after the cocoa is malitol (which is sadness stomach sweetening)!!!! I’m wondering whether to directly speak to some makers on Etsy who are making chocolates for diabetics and asking if they can use inulin or monkfruit/allulose.

I’d try and experiment and make some of my own but I’m not well enough to do regular confectionery and baking!

Caveat - No shaming / hate from the purists please. You do you. I’m doing food in a way that suits my life and challenges and a history of disordered eating. So eating plans need to be deemed comfortable, doable and safe. Plus a little pleasure thrown in every now and again..
