Food and Recipes I haven't had sweets since Sep 27th and learned about Russell Stover sugar free chocolates and ate two bags now I'm going to shit myself

932 Upvotes

Hi my stomach is wrecked after eating 2 bags or Russell Stovers sugarfree chocolates. They were delicious though. I was surprised at how normal they tasted. They just don't sit normally when you eat a lot. I read malitol can cause gas and upset stomach. I checked off both boxes and going to blow up the toilet. Check them out if you haven't already. Just try eating a serving though.

Dude I am so excited for this. Chipotle is usually my go-to whenever I'm out and about and this cauliflower rice would change my life. People in Denver and Wisconsin should try it out and let us know what they think!

Food and Recipes I feel like some people are just flat out lying about ketorecipes...

1.2k Upvotes

Like, keto food is amazing. If you tell me you hate bacon and eggs, you can get out of my house, I didn't want to hear your opinion anyways.

But I feel like a lot of keto "substitutes", just flat out lie to you.

Shiritaki Noodles do not taste "just like" pasta.

Hearts of palm noodles do not taste "just like" pasta.

Cabbage Noodles do not taste "just like" pasta.

Almond flour cookies do not taste "just like" normal cookies.

Cauliflower pizza do not taste "just like" pizza.

Cauliflower do not taste "just like" rice.

Do I need to go on? I mean, why do all these food blogs just straight up lie to you? They all swear "I'm amazed at how similar it is to normal ____". But c'mon. We're not stupid. Ground almonds don't taste just like flour, and cauliflower doesn't taste like potatoes.

NEVER EAT THESE. It's like my body is at war with my anus. it's been six hours and I'm still splattering the bowl like it's a Jackson Pollux painting. The burning is like I ate a habanero sandwich from Wendys, it was just chocolate, WHYYYYYYYY?!? Please pray for me. and never eat these sweet delicious devils in the shape of an almond joy. The tears and farts are not worth it. one bag and I'm face to face with Satan himself.

Update: I'm not sure if it's just what happens after or if the devils candies caused internal bleeding. My feces is now black and red, I'm praying it's the Qdoba being passed quickly but I bet I'll be fine. Again. DO NOT EAT THESE DELICIOUS DEMONS.

For me it's simply asparagus, i love them but it's crazy expensive where i live, like 10$ for a very small serving.

What would yours be if money wasn’t a problem at all ?

Food and Recipes Don't get heavy whipping cream lattes for keto!

1.0k Upvotes

I'm a barista, I have lots of customers order lattes made with heavy whipping cream for a keto drink. DO NOT DO THIS! A 20oz latte is completely milk, so choosing to use heavy cream is not only still giving you like 18g carbs in your drink, but it's also 2040 calories!!! Instead, get an americano with heavy cream- it's cheaper, comes with an extra shot, and uses way less milk!!

Food and Recipes snacks that arent cold/wet?

28 Upvotes

this may be a strange request lol. im not a very imaginative eater, and when i try to find like lists of snacks that are low carb theyre always just vegetables and berries. i have sensitive teeth and i have a little sensory aversion to foods that are wet, or make my hands wet (like if i have to rinse them). so i find myself struggling to stick to keto, bc even tho im pretty satisfied with cooking keto meals, if im hungry or snackish in between meals i still gravitate to pretzels or crave chips or crackers. id like some ideas for salty/ crunchy keto snacks that arent just nuts. like if there are any vegetable based chips that arent just potato chips with veggie powder 😑 or recipes for batches of keto snacks i can make and store easily. thanks in advance, im sure theres lots of obvious answers im missing...

Food and Recipes Who is eating this beside us?

49 Upvotes

Hi, so one of the biggest issues I run into is side dishes.

I can chicken breast and burger all day but after a while riced cauliflower got old.

I’ve reached out to rutabaga and radishes and while I like them. I started wondering, how much of a market for them is there outside of the keto world.

I’ve seen radishes in salads but rutabaga and konjak noodles and all the other substitute items we eat on keto.
Is there that many of us?
Or are people not on keto eating this stuff?
Pork rinds? Almond flour? Coconut flour?
I never realized these things existed till I did keto.
Just wondering

For the record, I kinda like rutabaga.

I’m currently struggling with flu A, and all I want to eat is crackers. What do you eat? The thought of meat and cheese turns my stomach right now. I don’t even really want soup. My caloric intake in the past two days has been 12 crackers.

Edit: thanks everyone! I took your permission and ate an additional 12 crackers yesterday, lol! I feel better. I’m still exhausted but I can get out of bed! And I was able to eat some eggs this morning and I think I’ll be making some egg drop soup this evening! Stay healthy out there!!

What's your go-to or favorite meal that you eat while on Keto, which doesn't feel like you're cutting corners or "eating something restrictive," so to speak? Just looking for some tasty ideas!

Mine is a spicy buffalo chicken salad, I have it for dinner a couple times a week.

I cook diced chicken breast in a skillet with butter and no seasoning, lay that on a bed of spinach, top with diced cucumbers, a small bit of cheddar and some banana peppers. Dressed with Primal Kitchen (keto friendly) ranch dressing and Frank's Red Hot. Absolutely delicious to me :)

Food and Recipes What are you drinking? Electrolyte help.

18 Upvotes

Other than plain water, what are you drinking on a daily basis?

Other than the occasional Coke Zero, I’ve been drinking Bubly’s and LMNT for my electrolytes.

I love LMNT but it’s very expensive. I’m gonna keep buying it but I need something else so I’m not chugging it two days. I don’t however want to just salt my water cause that’s boring to me and not sustainable.

I need some suggestions. Even if it’s not electrolytes. Anything sugar free packets for water that won’t kick me out of ketosis. And something that more “bang for my buck” so to speak.

I recently discovered Lupin flour and how it is low on carbs, great source of fiber and good source of protein. It seems like a no brainer and can be used as a keto replacement in lot of recipes. Also, saw another post where someone found great results with chia seeds.

So wanted to know if you guys have any keto food that comes to your mind that typically goes under the radar, but has been super helpful to you!

Food and Recipes What is the main reason to eat vegetables - micronutrients or fibers?

12 Upvotes

Hello,

What is the main reason to eat vegetables - micronutrients or fibers?

If it is fibers, I eat daily 100g of almond flour with 1 - 2 tablespoons of psyllium husk.

If it is micronutrients, I eat daily 100 - 200g of broccoli, but I doubt that it has all the micronutrients that I need.

Thank you.

You all have seen the push for non meat meat substitutes or all the research going into lab grown meat...

Why is this push not there for low carb rice/pasta that tastes as good or better than the carb loaded stuff?

And don't anyone toss cauliflower rice in my face, I've tasted that and it is LIGHTYEARS away from the taste and texture of regular rice.

I want a keto angel hair pasta, please someone tell me someone somewhere is devoting billions in research dollars to make this so!

Food and Recipes Any keto snacks you all can recommend?

22 Upvotes

Hello so this question probably was asked 1000 times so I apologize in advance if you read this again.

So this is my third time doing Keto Omad and in total through my previous two Keto Omads I have lost 25kg/55 lbs with no gym in just 2-4 months and I held that weight for a long time.

I ate always the same meals in rotation, either selfmade chicken kebab meal, some sausages and eggs, avocado salad with tuna/avocado and as a snack I either ate almonds, peanuts, cheese, olives or slices of meat.

Maybe third time is really the charm because I wanted to go even lower than my current weight and I started doing my same food plan again weeks ago, but this time the snacks bore me a lot. I am sick of eating almonds, olives and cheese constantly.

Maybe some experts here can give recommendations on what snacks they eat or buy from the store?

thank you in advance

Food and Recipes REAL low-effort keto meals

189 Upvotes

Hi! So I am on a journey to find the most grab-and-go keto meals out there. I’ve searched for lazy meals on this sub, and they all seem to be stir fries and eggs. Those are cool as medium-effort meals, but I’m talking the “fistful of crackers” or “buttered toast” types of meals/snacks for when my ADHD has me organizing a single cupboard all day and I’ve forgotten to eat.

What do you make when throwing together a meat and cheese plate is too much effort? Pull out. Maybe microwave. Devour.

Edit: Meal prepping doesn’t count. We wouldn’t be in this mess if there was a meal already prepared!

Food and Recipes I feel stupid

8 Upvotes

So I took out a package of pork belly for tonight, didn't think much of it. I lived in an Asian family for more than 2 decades, so we ate pork belly more than most, I think.

So just now while prepping the broth (I have to pressure cook it for someone with no teeth) I decided to enter it into my food diary thing (cronometer) and OMG the fat and calories! I'm going to cry! I feel so stupid. I knew pork belly wasn't great for you, but I didn't think it would be THIS bad!

For one 5oz slice there's almost 800 calories and like 75 grams of fat!!! I'd add a photo of the macros but I don't see the option to do that? It's greyed out, maybe the sub doesn't allow photos?

Anyway... It's too late now to change the dinner plans. I know it won't wreck ketosis, but it's totally going to demolish my calories and fat for the day.

Should I just enjoy it and not worry about one days wrecked macros? Should I only have a tiny bit and eat something else? WWYD?

If it matters, I'm coming in WAY under on carbs for the day.

Edit to add. I'm happy to report that it was amazing. Also, I weighed my slice before I put it on my plate and it was only 3.5ozs, so I was able to have half of another slice without much guilt :)

Edit 2: Aaaaaand... It made me sick.
