Here’s another one from Joe Duff https://www.thedietchefs.com/keto-chocolate-cake/ nothing too outrageous, ingredient-wise. I’m pretty sure you could substitute melted butter for the coconut oil if you don’t have any. I didn’t have any almond milk so I used a heaped dessert spoon of almond...

Sweeteners can be a minefield, because things like sucralose and stevia are many times sweeter than sugar, so in order to reduce that to manageable levels they are mixed in tiny amounts with bulking agents, but the label just shouts ‘Stevia’ or whatever. Often this bulker is dextrose or...

LOL absolutely no secret at all! I find the whole historical diet misinformation thing so fascinating that I have become the diabetes bore at work. To some effect, actually - a couple of colleagues have taken my experience on board and started to make some changes to their diets too. I don’t...

Yeah, bread... as I have written elsethread, this has been my keto bete noir, my precioussss, the one thing I tried really hard to keep as part of the new regime. But I was not able to find an acceptable substitute that did not raise my BG more than I was willing to tolerate and the keto...

I bake keto sweet stuff. This is a diet for life so I have to be able to include the odd treat. I think, for me, having ditched the sugar my taste for sweetness has diminished, what I bake now is considerably less sweet than before. Also, I believe that for some people using some sweetners...

Did you pre-bake to half done before adding toppings? It stops the base getting soggy (and sticky) if you use a wet tomato sauce. Also if you pre-bake, it freezes well, just whizz it out, slap on the toppings and bake, instant pizza!

I have lost over 20kg since the beginning of December last year and I have worked my way down through the stack of jeans I grew out of on the way up - fortunately I kept them! However I have now shrunk out of the back catalogue. I started off with my size 22 jeans being uncomfortably tight...

This is it, with my small modifications Keto scones 1 cup almond flour - plus some extra to get the right texture if it looks bit wet at the end when making the dough 1/2 cup coconut flour 1/8 cup of 2x sweet stevia/erythritol (my sweetener is twice as sweet as sugar, but it varies by...

Just to add, I quit carbs when I was diagnosed in December and found the carb cravings become much less with time - bread was the thing I missed most and I tried umpteen keto versions but they didn’t float my boat. Now I am reluctantly reconciled. But since diagnosis I have reduced my bloods...

There’ll be folk along shortly to advise you what to eat so you really don’t have to be hungry. However if you can get your head around a little light baking, there’s no reason you can’t have keto cookies, cakes, scones etc with your cup of tea . I am currently mildly obsessed with keto scones...

Take heart and consider the bigger picture.... I have a weight loss app for my Bluetooth scales, and it gives me a nice graph to peruse when I weigh in each week. I was rather miffed that I had seen no decrease for a couple of weeks, although last week I seemed to be back on track for no...

Thank you @Brunneria, that is massively helpful. I know that there are serious athletes who compete on keto diets and suspected I must have something a bit out of whack in my diet, I have stuck it in my amazon basket!

I have been on keto since the beginning of Dec and recently took up the cycling. The first time I went I managed to fall off (don’t ask!) and it took a couple of minutes before my legs had enough strength to lever me back to my feet! Second time, l completely ran out of fuel while attempting...

Nope, I mean low cal. Calories, as a measure of energy intake, are not irrelevant for me as I am actively losing weight on keto and I still believe that shoving in more than I expend will not help me achieve my goals. So yes, they are full of low carb energy, if you prefer. :cat:

I have rediscovered simple, quick baking - keto cakes, biscuits, scones.... I use a stevia/erythritol blend instead of sugar. This way, I know what is in them. Not low calorie, by any means, but they don’t upset my BG, and congenital laziness means that they remain occasional treats because I...

Unusually, I woke up hungry this morning and was seized by a sudden craving for doughy goodness. Obviously all the normal carby stuff is out, so I made keto “biscuits” (scones, to those of us in the UK) from this website: https://greenandketo.com/keto-biscuits These are delicious. I added...

Me too.... oh, and the Return of the Full-Fat... cheese, butter, cream, Greek yoggie. Love me some dairy :cat:! And Darjeeling tea, previously this exacerbated the acid reflux too much and I was forced to quit drinking it. It’s back!

I have no experience of diabetic pets, but I have been raw feeding my cats for years and would never go back to mainstream pet food. This is where I currently get my cats’ meat, no affiliation, just find them good value and reliable. I get the ‘mix’ sausages, meat, bone and assorted wobbly...

This is what the horse world would describe as being “a good doer” :)

OMAD is indeed one meal a day. When I do the IF thing, I just have my normal keto dinner, nothing special. I eat what I need to feel full, I don’t find my appetite is increased after a fast.
