Will do. Let me compile a list of links to the items, and get back to you! Though regarding almond flour, I usually buy this (from Amazon): https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B003VD2QSW/

But I try to avoid making bread like items or getting bread-substitutes because I'm afraid of building back up old habits like eating bread regularly.

The only real way to know is to test as you can't feel it and it's easy to miss when you might be getting carbs from hidden or unknown food and drink). For the first month or two you can use ketone test strips to test for ketones in the urine. Because the body is not yet well adapted to burning ketones they spill out of the body. I used Perfect Keto strips but there are other brands that likely work just as well. Just search Amazon for keto strips, and your local drug store or pharmacy might have them as well.

As the body becomes more efficient at burning ketones for fuel you may want to switch to measuring or deriving levels in the blood. I currently use a breath ketone meter (this one: Ketone Meter, Professional... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QPYP9JK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share ) which seems to work well in the past 2-3 weeks of using it.

Try monkfruit extract. The most popular brand is Lakanto.

Powdered: ラカントS 顆粒 800g https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B07Y4NVNMC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_142FD7EKFMNB2SJ27M91

Liquid version: ラカントS シロップ 280g https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B07ZFJDYB7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_D78SZR0684SRYRA5E5GF?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I've never seen baking soda in a supermarket. You can buy it on amazon - 2KG for 500jpy, which might literally last you a life time. I'm still only 35% though the bag I bought 4 years ago when I started keto, and I even use it regularly for cleaning.

Oh, cool; thanks for the info. Yeah, I really wish my chemistry / biochem was better.

The problem I had with the off-the-shelf stuff here in Japanese drugstores (which I now understand to be in the lesser, citrate, form) was the calcium it was mixed with giving me heart palpitations. So probably best to avoid calcium+mg supplements in the store completely (unless one is actually calcium deficient), since they were in Mg-Citrate form.

 

Anyway, the link above is the chelated form (glycinate/lycinate) on Amazon.jp ; but there's also another chelated type on there, Magnesium L-Threonate, which I've just started taking: https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B006P536E6/

Grab this book - used from the UK for a few hundred yen atm.

I ordered it of Amazon! Idk if it tasted any different, but it was one of those ingredients where I didn't feel like I had missed anything and didn't get envious of my partner who had regular flour.

Heres a link! I think /u/autobulb buys his from Rakuten, but I basically ordered the same thing as him C:

https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B010DDQ5TS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I didn't realise but you get 5 bags, so I have so much flour and idk what to use it for!
