Type 2 Savoury shakes

[Ryhia]

Does anyone know of any savoury shakes that are low carb/keto? I know of Puriton but they don't do savoury options.

Maybe the equivalent would be described as a soup rather than a shake? Just a thought. I recall many years ago there being a soup & shake diet called the Cambridge diet. Don’t think it was low carb though, maybe try googling low carb meal replacement soups?

Any particular nutrients you are looking for?
Are you looking for a meal replacement shake or more for something like a snack? With what goal?

I just never thought to google low cal meal replacements. Duh! Those you turned up look good. I've already made a couple of purchase errors. I googled low carb shakes and it came up with Habituel. They do savoury options and had a trial pack offer. Unfortunately I couldn't see how many carbs each sachet contained. When I was able to check, most had 22 or more grams of carbs per portion. I'm a bit uncomfortable deliberately having so many carbs in one meal, plus they contain maltodextrin which I understand is not too good for diabetics. So that was a bad choice. I followed this by purchasing some Puriton natural food shakes. They are ok, all natural products and low carb, unfortunately all the options are sweet - I don't have a sweet tooth and don't want to develop one so I will definitely investigate your suggestions further. Thank you so much.

I am looking for a meal replacement of some sort to help with a low carb reset Very lacking in motivation at present and a bit busy to put my mind to the effort of losing weight but it needs to be done so I just thought shakes of some sort might be an easy option.

In your previous post you mentioned low cal meal replacements, here you mention low carb.
Are you looking for low cal and low carb meal substitutes? For all meals or for some meals?

Not sure what you mean by a 'low carb reset', what is your usual diet like?

As for losing weight, I've never deliberately tried but during the past two years my very slow weightloss accelerated (stil fat but definitely not as fat as I was before), I think it's the short morning swims, only 5 to 20 minutes 5 or 6 days a week. A very nice surprise.

I’ve done this 5 day keto reset meal plan a few times, it’s good nutritional food & quite satiating. The first time I did it I lost 9lb, the other times I’ve lost about 5lb.

IBIH 5 Day Keto Soup Diet- SCKC, Whole 30, Paleo, Low Carb, Dairy Free

Lose 10 pounds or more on my 5 day keto soup diet! Whole30 and Squeaky Clean Keto approved, this low carb soup diet is also a great way to detox from gluten, dairy, sweeteners, and alcohol! SCKC

You do need to learn from it though and use it as a reset not a quick fix.
I’m one of those that has to count calories as well as carbs so this works really well for me

When I lived in the Midlands I worked at the Allied Lyons factory - formerly Symington's Soups - in the pilot plant, and Dr Howard came there to get the sachets of the Cambridge diet made up and packed. There were desserts which set - chocolate, strawberry and I think banana flavours - and soups. The mushroom one was rather good. I think there was beef and onion - but it was quite some time ago now. They were for very overweight people who were in a hospital environment.
I suspect that the desserts were altered to shakes to make them 'instant'.
There was some trouble with the mixing as if the mixture was put into large containers and left where they might get joggled about, the fine powders, the vitamin and mineral mixtures, would sink to the bottom of the container and be present in over dose amounts in the sachets packed from that part of the container - it was decreed that the mixture should be packed at once, not stored, in order to prevent that happening again.

My personal opinion is that there is nothing special about low carb or low calorie shakes. To have better control of what you are eating just eat fish, meat, cheese or eggs. Eat until you eel full and you will have had very few calories and very few (if any) carbs with a really good spectrum of nutrients (meat contains vitamin C else those on carnivore way of eating would get scurvy). Plus, to me it feels a lot more satisfying in the stomach. But we all have different tastes in food.

I appreciate that this is easy for many, but sometimes those who have ED have to approach it differently.

Hi Antje, I have eaten low carb/keto since 2019 but don't count macros, I just eat what I think works. I don't think I have changed my diet much over the years but I might be fooling myself. What is concerning me is that my weight is going up slowly year on year. Having lost 35 kilos initially eating keto, I have put around 11 kilos back on. I don't want to put more weight on as I don't like the feel. I loved it when I lost all the weight as for the first time in my adult life I could wear a size 10 dress size. I am now a size 14 (English sizing). I'm just trying to get my head in the right place to take stock of what I am eating so that I can put my mind to losing some weight, whether that is by low carb or low cal I don't mind Maybe I need to get my keto recipe books back out however I am not cooking half as much as I used to and I'm not sure I have the energy at the moment, hence the question about shakes. V. Short term quick fix.

Meat fish, cheese and eggs are my usual mainstay. But I have been putting on weight so maybe I am eating just too much. I decided I needed to try a kick start to bump me out of any complacency I might have fallen into so that I actually start to take notice of what I am eating. Its very easy when you have been doing low carb for a few years to think everything is going fine when it maybe isn't. Plus a change of diet albeit temporarily might be useful.
