Keto Low Carb Chocolate Donuts

You seem to have made it your personal mission to suggest these imitation high carb foods. How are you helping people with maintaining their low carb diet by getting them to make reminders of the very thing they are trying to avoid? I know someone who wanted to give up smoking so they started using an e-cigarette. Without the restrictions on normal smoking they were able to smoke anywhere and smoke more often. When weakening and returning to real cigarettes they ended up smoking much more than they used to. Let's hope that keto chocolate doughnuts don't have a similar effect.
 
Why?? Are donuts really necessary in life?

Thank you!!! Well said. This is a diabetic forum and some of us are trying to avoid those tyoes of food. Sticking them under our noses is not helpful. For those that do want to eat those foods they can certainly find their own recipes just as you have, but they don’t need to post them.
 
It actually makes me feel a bit abnormal... and I know I am in a lot of ways with my eating but this post has just heightened my angst a bit more elevated... even tho I am rare in as much as I can eat... I still find it hard to look at because Christmas food and time is quite hard anyway for me.... and I'm not even interested in keto!!
Just the pucture on here just threw me...

It’s low carb and delicious!

Just made one today.
 
Good god people. He's just trying to offer alternatives to anyone facing hurdles adjusting to a new life diet. Others have put recipes for low carb bread and pizza on here without abuse. If you don't like it, don't try it. No need to attack.
 
Totally agree with @oldsle

There might be some of our fellow sufferers who are looking for low carb alternatives to bread, cakes, biscuits including donuts and these alternatives are actually “low carb”.

If you don’t like them, ignore them and move on.

End of story!
 
I am still trying to find a low carb alternative to Christmas. Thought about making my own low carb mince pies, then realised I would only sit there and eat the lot. Which sorta defeats the point.
 
Youre

you’re not understanding what we’re saying. You have all kinds of posts that have tempting foods for some of us. We’d rather not see them to remind us. I’m sure we all have internet access and can find our own.

This time of year there ar far too many temptations we fight every day. We don’t need to fight temptation here as well.

I’m sure your intentions are good but they’re derailing some of us.
 
Hey NewTD2! Just remember that when you post something there will always be those who have a comment - positive or negative - so be it. Just don't get too discouraged and not participate in the forum! I'm glad to see you participating:) I myself posted a recipe for chocolate mousse that I will be enjoying at Christmas, so your donuts aren't really calling my name. Now if they had been apple fritters.......:) Blessings and hope you enjoyed your donut/L

I dont think its very reasonable to tell people what kind of recipes its ok to post in the food nutrition and recipes section of a forum, as long as they are within appropriate sugar / carb levels for diabetics
None of the recipes for sweet stuff tempt me in the slightest, but neither do many others I see for things like Pizza. - I just see both sets of recipes as irrelevant and pictures of them unnecessary Others on the forum are of the opinion that avocados or Lidl rolls are the work of the devil so will see all the posts about them as equally irrelevant
 
I do have to admit that I was wondering if you had tested all of the recipes that you post. I no longer crave the sweet stuff but I know that some people do struggle with overcoming the cravings and I feel that for some the low carb alternatives might be a stepping stone to a change in the palate but for others, like me, it is a case of all or nothing as I cannot envisage a time when I would use artificial sweeteners. But that is just a quirk of mine. As long as recipes are truly low carb alternatives and are posted in the appropriate forum then I do not have to look at them. Alternatively, members can choose to provide links to recipe sites such as Dietdoctor citing a particular recipe.
