Did a little research before the store today and found some new things. Carb smart tortillas as discussed and a few other things. Picked some of them up, seared some ahi tuna, little spinach, cheese, and dressing in a taco. One of the best meals I have had while doing keto. Can’t wait to mess around more with all this new stuff coming out.
Is it worth venturing to Whole Foods? HyVees here tend to have a good higher tier and health oriented selection, but probably not a full -on specialty selection.
New to this, so sorry if this is already discussed But I'm seeing stuff on 'net carbs' on like the carb friendly tortillas. Nutritional info label says they are like 15 carbs, but the front of the package says each one is only 4 net carbs. Says something like subtract fiber content from total carbs to get net carbs What are net carbs and should I count net or total carbs for keto?
Net Carbs are total carbs - fiber - sugar alcohols, which most believe don’t have an effect on blood glucose levels. Tortillas have 15 carbs listed, 12 of it is fiber. 3 total.
So, if I'm trying to stay under 50 carbs for ketosis, and I eat one tortilla do I add 3 or 15 to my # for the day?
Net carbs. Who knows how many actual carbs are being used by your body so just use what the packaging says.
Anyone have weight loss stall while doing bulletproof coffee? Stopped losing weight a week and a half ago which is about the same time I started trying that.
My wife has been drinking that I think the last week. She has stalled. But I am blaming it on our old scale, that I replaced this morning.
I've been doing really low carb with low calorie and working out and weight has been melting off. I was already thinned out from previous keto and exercise but went back on it and I'm down 8-10 pounds in two weeks. I'm 193.6 as of this morning. I'm 6'1. Goal is probably 185.
Try to start in the 20-30 range. Also sodium magnesium and potassium is good to mix in your water. You could make it, I just bought a mix off amazon.
I may have to send you money for you to buy and send me some. It’s like being 16 again but needing the USPS.
Just ate an entire quest pizza and 4 air fryer wings with BWW spicy garlic sauce. Entire pizza was 12 net carbs and 690 calories. So good. Tastes like a normal frozen pizza to be honest
Yeah those quest pizzas are my go to lately. Doesn’t taste too bad and way less expensive than sausage crust pizzas from Chicago.
They are really really good. 6 pizzas for 120 bucks. I think they are about 900 cals a pizza with less than 10 carbs. Lou Malnati’s is the place for them.
Wings and Keto cheese sticks are my favorite. You just buy string cheese and roll them in this Parmesan cheese/egg/almond flour mix and air fry them for 5 minutes. Incredible
Starts at 64 for 2 and 114 for 6. Shipping cost with dry ice and whatnot is there regardless of order and that’s like $25 probably.
Yeah they taste terrific. Satisfies a need for sure. I made a steak and cheese quesadilla with them and it was excellent. Steak, shredded cheese, and two tortillas and 6 total carbs.
I enjoy articles like that one with not a single shred of evidence to refute that it works for some people as a lifestyle.
Made chicken parm tonight. Fried up breast tenderloins coated in Parmesan cheese in butter/olive oil mix. Then put them on top of some jarred pizza sauce (just a little) in a ceramic baking dish, and covered with mozzarella slices. Hit the air fryer at 400 for about 5 minute until the cheese browned. Turned out well.
These are surprisingly good. https://www.target.com/p/atkins-meal-bar-chocolate-peanut-butter-8ct/-/A-16710351
Link to the article that was cited at 'experts condemning' Leto https://health.usnews.com/best-diet/keto-diet Literally not a single negative mentioned
They vaguely did mention the kids with epilepsy thing and people who are diabetic as beneficiaries from it but that makes sense when one of the diets benefits is cutting out a lot of sugar and processed foods. They failed to mention the net versus gross carbs thing. In the section where sometime suggested 233g of carbs was needed. And yet if 2 grams of carbohydrates equal. 1% of the RDA for carbs in a 2,000 calorie diet, then someone’s math is wrong.
