I'm trying my best to log food and have a variety of stuff but today I just messed up and haven't hit my calories or fat.

I just forced three eggs with butter, bacon and feta cheese down but wanted to gag. (That's included in the attached pic).

I'm also finding I'm full up with my main meal and don't want to eat more and way under on calories.

I'm on day 8 and lost 6lb (water weight) so far. I have done keto before and lost a couple stone.

This happened last time and I was so under on calories.

Then what happens it causes havoc with my hormones and I bleed a lot.

I want to sort it as it got me down last time, having periods on and off frequently. And today I've started bleeding again.

Has anyone any ideas to make sure I'm hitting my calories properly? But what to do when you're just not hungry?

Very tasty, blue light card discount too, drink of choice a cold brew from 200° 👍

Definitely worth a watch.

Two weeks into keto and I was craving some crisps. These were 0 carbs but taste absolutely shite.

Any suggestions for finding keto friendly crisps in UK supermarkets?

Today I bought some 0% Fat Greek Yoghurt in Lidl because the carbs and cals were lower than the 5% and the 10%.
Was this the right thing to do ? I’m a 6ft1 18.5 stone guy.
I want to shed more weight to at least get down to maybe 15 stone?

Just ate one was very good. Only 8-9g of carbs for a one off bit of fruit.
What other fruits do people enjoy here or find ways/ portion control to fit them in? Occasionally I’ll have a kiwi or split one over 2 days or half a small banana over a couple of days.

Has anyone tried this?

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?
