    No. What I’ve found works for me is setting up 3 sets of 5 meals and making a full set every week, then rotating. That keeps me balanced and makes it easy.

    Made these for lunch. The recipe is a little bland, obviously meant for kids. I made half the batch as-is, half with a healthy dose of cayenne. I’ll be doing it again with a higher chicken-to-filler ratio. The spicy was infinitely better in round one. Air fryer at 400 for the times listed.
    5-6g net carbs per batch, haven’t figured other macros.
    12.5oz canned chicken
    3 Tbsp Almond flour
    3 Tbsp Parmesan
    1 Tbsp garlic powder
    1 egg + 1 yolk per comments section update
    1Tbsp oil
    Optional bucket load of cayenne or other spice mix.
    400 for 12 min total

    Was just thinking that ground chicken, battered in crushed pork rinds and fried, would be suitable nuggets

    Mix and go was much easier and cleaner than breading pieces, but ymmv.

    Thought about it, but moved further away before I remembered to try one. I like their toppings and sauce when I eat them off the crust, so I imagine the bowl is fine.

    Did not know about this, we go to Marcos often. As long as the sauce isn’t crazy high in sugar, seems this would be a great option.

    Anyone have a website or websites with nice and easy Keto recipes? Wife and I are going to try and start it. We both live off bread and pasta right now so a change in our diet is needed.

    Not sure if you’d be into it but whole30 might be more up your alley to start. It’s a bit easier and almost as effective. Biggest difference between the two is cheese. Whole 30 is no dairy, sugar, legumes or alcohol. Keto is counting net carbs, cheese isn’t an issue and you can have some alcohol.

    Side note: I know it applies to a few of us here but my body will not lose weight if I’m drinking alcohol in any capacity. It’s a sad state of affairs but you adjust eventually. Good luck.

    edit: before I get yelled at I know they are two entirely different diets. I am just approaching it from a preparation/discipline angle. I think both are great but need to commit to one or the other.

    This may have been discussed before. I’ve been doing pizza bowls with pepperoni, sausage, pizza mix shredded cheese (moz, prov, parm, and romano, I believe) and assorted seasonings like garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and rosemary. Air fry it in a little baking dish for about 5-6 minutes to get the top all crispy and it’s turned out really well. I’m not a big sauce guy so this pretty much hits the pizza spot.

    hello friends, i need help thinking

    years ago i alway weighed about 330. keto/if'd down to 250. gained the covid 40. dropped back to 260 where i continue to sit. i would very much like to get back on the train but my current problem is how much my roommates love carbs. i never realized how much people can love pasta (dont get me started on pasta). ive never been one with a ton of self control. so, basically, how can i trick myself into not eating bullshit?

    That’s a tough one but I’d say make sure you always have two things. First off a plan for your meals, if you don’t have one it makes eating shit really easy. Second, as you get going always make sure you have your out snack. Once I get going I’m fine personally, it’s the ramp up period where I’m most likely to stumble. Good luck.

    I started by cutting out things slowly. First candy/pastry type stuff, then backed down bread and pasta. Doing sandwiches without bread, pizza toppings without crust, and things like that where I was still having the fat things I liked without the carbs. Pasta and fries I just kind of stopped. A lot of times I’d have an extra meat entree instead of a side. Keto bread from Aldi and carb balance tortillas helped a lot as well.

    Get pissed at yourself and motivated. It’s hard to stay committed long-term or even semi-long-term. In your head, say “Fuck off, I’m better than you (and pasta)”every time pasta is out.

    Plan your meals. Make it the first 2-3 weeks and get into the groove.

    You got this.

    I tried the sugar free reeces today. 1 net carb (14g - 12 alcohols and 1 fiber). Not exactly your standard reeces, but they’ll get the job done when you need a little something.

    Getting back into this again. My annual physical bloodwork didn’t come back so hot. I feel way better than the last time I was super fat and started to diet, but my numbers were worse. Probably because I self diagnosed and dieted for a wile before getting the courage up to go to the doctor.
    This time I’m going to set some milestone goals and try and transition off keto to a sustainable (for me personally) low-carb diet in steps. Last time I just went full throttle until got to my big 100lb marker then stopped cold and celebrated by binging the stuff I’d been craving for 8 months.

    Wife has found a good keto cheesecake recipe and turned it into a great recipe.

    And I made chicken parm for us tonight. Cutlets dredged in almond flour, egg wash, then crushed pork rinds and pan fried. Topped with a spoonful of Rao’s and mozz, then broiled for a few min. Plus roasted broccoli:

    That looks good as hell.
    What’s the cheesecake recipe? I do heavy cream in the mixer until whipped, then add Splenda or monkfruit or whatever sweetener I happen to have and cream cheese. When I do crust it’s almond flour, butter, cinnamon, and sweetener. Usually I just add some pb powder or something and eat it out of the container, no crust.

    I don’t have the full recipe, but crust is almond flour, butter, vanilla, and sweetener. Filling is eggs, cream cheese, vanilla, and sweetener.

    The key is the sweetener. It’s made by King Arthur and has zero aftertaste of erythritol.

    Been making my own almond flour by putting sliced almonds in the Vitamix. Much preferred to the flour. Makes a great pizza crust.

    1/2 cup sliced almonds
    Mozz
    Parm
    1 egg
    Fresh Italian herbs
    Olive oil

    Can pat out on parchment paper with more olive oil and also cook on it. Bake the crust 1st then top with sauce(Rao's Pizza sauce is Lowest in carbs I've found) cheese, toppings. Back in oven until melted.

    ive had pretty good success maintaining a 50% dirty keto / 50% Mediterranean approach over time

    the dirty keto portion are things like pork rinds, mushrooms stuffed with cheese and bacon, merguez (algerian lamb sausage), steak. The basic idea is that I can eat as much saturated fat and salt as I want, don't worry about veggies.

    the "Mediterranean" (i use this term loosely) portion is mostly salads, like southwestern salads (corn, black beans, tomatoes), cobb salad, ceasar salad, collard greens, fried fish. Try to add as much omega-3 as possible, like a whole avocado with each salad. I will eat carbs in this portion, provided that they are matched with dietary fiber. (e.g. beans are OK, but no pasta, potatoes or bread). This half is more expensive, and i spend a lot on pre-made salads from a local co-op bc I will never make them myself.

    and the other thing i try to do is not snack. "eat to keep your metabolism going" is horse shit. eat once, maybe twice a day. Fasting for 2-3 days at a time would be ideal but i just don't have the discipline.

    My go-to recipes are pretty basic and ‘dirty’

    Pizza bowl - Mozzarella, meat, spices, veggies, and various seasonings. Sometimes sauce. Sometimes a little garlic butter. I layer it in a glass dish and air fry at 350 to get a melty center and brown cheese crust on top.

    Chicken Parm - breast tenderloins pan-fried/grilled in a little bit of olive oil. Season to taste. Sauce top with sauce and mozz, air fry or bake to finish the crust

    Pizza-dilla - butter the skillet lightly, one carb balance tortilla with mozz and pepperoni, then another tortilla on top. Crisp and flip. Dip in sauce if you like

    Taco Bell carb balance quesadillas - carb balance tortilla(s) with preferred shredded cheese and copycat Taco Bell jalapeño quesadilla sauce. Grill with no butter and spatula pressure on each side.

    Instant cheesecake filling - 8oz heavy cream, whip in mixer (or by hand for a little workout) then add 8oz cream cheese and keto sweetener of choice and continue to mix until smooth. I add PB powder most of the time. Cocoa powder wasn’t great.

    Taco bowls - season and cook meat of choice. Add toppings and such in a bowl with no starches.

    I do a lot of variations on these based on what I have or am craving. I’d guess that over half of my keto diet was just assorted individual low/no carb items. Like a 1/4 cup of almonds, 2 cheese sticks, and a green ridge beef stick for a lunch. Or eggs, sausage, and bacon.

    i find myself just eating the same things over and over because i try and track my foods on myfitnesspal (or the equivalent) and its a pain in the ass to bake anything new. like that zero carb crust above; that pizza would involve 20 different entries and weighing a bunch of different foods. that's hard for me.
