Low carb daily diets.

[Angela64]

When I make a cheesecake with a base I make biscuits with almond flour then crush them and add just one digestive biscuit, it make a surprisingly big difference to the crust - my cheesecakes are about 12 + portions so it’s negligible carbs per portion from the digestive biscuit.

If I make cheesecake just for myself I don’t make a crust at all and just pipe it into small glasses or teacups

I add scoop of mixed seeds to the base mix

There’s a good quality digestive biscuit? I wouldn’t normally think of “good” “quality” or “biscuit” in the same sentence, can you explain how to balance the carbs please? Do you mean balance the digestive with a huge insulin shot?

You can get wholemeal self raising which I prefer

I make up a box of mixed seeds, chia, poppy, sesame, crushed linseed, ground sunflower seed, ground pumpkin seed and mix. I put a scoop on cereal with some cinnamon to hopefully make the cereal slower release. You can use this mix on varied foods, but it is not a cure.
I am a good cook, cake, desserts everything and having to deny myself the joy of eating them is depressing.

Hi All,
I am interested to know what people actually eat on their low carb and Keto diets.
Examples of breakfasts, lunches, etc.
Are there meal plans on this site?
Thank you.
Nick.

There are many more cook books on low carb diets than on Keto diets, at least in the vegan aisle: e.g. "Vegan Keto", "Keto Junk Food".
What is posted here is fairly typical of low carb/keto dieters: loads of animal meat. Perhaps because this is the easiest to procure and is promoted as healthy in Western societies. There are health disadvantages that come with the consumption of large quantities of animal proteins (see e.g. the books of Dr. Michael Greger MD).
You can lower the amount of animal protein intake by upping the amount of nuts in your diet, it is very easy to do, especially as you do not have to refrigerate nuts or fry or cook them.
"The Essential Vegan Keto Cookbook" for example suggests as breakfast: 'Everything Bagels' made of oil, flaxseed and almond butter. They are very tasty and very fatty, like donuts almost. Other recipes include "Tofu Scramble over Grilled Eggplant and Avocado". For a quick but expensive fix: Whole Foods and Planet Organic sell Keto bread in the refrigerator sections, they are made of seeds and really good.
Lunch is a wide-open space. "Keto Junk Food" for example proposed "Meat Lover's Pizza" where the dough is made with almond flour and cream cheese among other, and the toppings are cheeses and turkey and pepperoni. Sometimes even the most hard-core dieter wants junk food, so books like this one have a value.
"Vegan Keto" has less common recipes for example "Cabbage Rolls", "Kelp Noodle Pad Thai".
Cook books really vary greatly in terms of quality of ingredients and one has to go through as many of them as possible to find what one likes or what one can change to make it good or better than the recipe. They are like all cook books: they represent mostly one style of food, of eating, of presentation, of ingredients.

Meal plans might come with the keto calculator on the site www.ruled.me. The calculator is useful.

"Vegan Keto" has a meal plan in the appendix for a total of four weeks of breakfast, lunch and dinner and snack, along with a shopping list for each week, and the recipes give you leftovers that you can recycle the next day. It is marked in the overview which dish you will partially recycle the next day, so it makes planning very easy and relieves you of having to cook something new each and every time.

Good luck with your explorations!
