Amazon sells Whole Foods organic tofu for $2 a block (https://smile.amazon.com/365-Everyday-Value-Organic-Extra/dp/B074H5HJ11). If you're fortunate enough to live in a city with an asian grocery, you can find it cheaper. At that cost, 10 meals would cost you less than the equivalent meals of chicken thighs. Though to get the same amount of protein in one chicken thigh (Google says 28g), you would have to eat 60% of the block of tofu, so then it would cost more (and be a lot of tofu to eat at once).

In my opinion, the benefit of eating slightly more expensive tofu is better than buying the cheapest meat you can find -- a meat producer dedicated to providing the cheapest end product isn't a business I'm interested in supporting.

Hey, me and my wife are on keto, she's veggie and i'm not. Anyway, have a look at my recipe board i have collected over time for some inspiration, there are some meaty ones in there on the far right but everything else is veggie :)

https://trello.com/b/O068crWp/keto

I'm actually in the process of gathering recipes myself, and start keto with my vegetarian wife once we have enough recipes.

Here's a link to my trello board, and what i have so far.

It's not complete yet, need more breakfasts.

Trader Joe's has Pizza Veggie Burgers which clock in at 3 net carbs per burger.

it's /r/keto only for vegetarians. The basic idea of keto is that, since carbs produce an insulin response which makes you store fat, you avoid carbs. Protein in too-high (Atkins-like) quantities does the same thing. So, you get 65% of your calories from fat, 30% from protein, and 5% from carbs. If you need to lose weight, you just eat fewer calories than you burn and it falls off faster than other diets; the typical thought is that fat keeps you satiated better so you are better able to eat fewer calories and remain sane. Generally they say you should stick to <20g carbs a day, but people's tolerances vary. You should use something like MyFitnessPal to track your food so you can keep to the macronutrient %s.

I lost about 10lbs in about a month on keto; started at 170, dropped to 160.

Definitely check out /r/keto, as this is kind of a sub-subreddit (IMHO). Cheers!

So as I posted before, I've been craving cereal. It's something I'm having a tough time finding substitutes for while doing keto. So I bit the bullet and bought these two low-carb cereals to give them a whirl:

http://www3.netrition.com/nutritious_living_cereal.html

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KXDPS60/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_PnOTwb4YG4YBG

The Paleo coconut flakes are 10 GODDAMN DOLLARS on Amazon for this little silver pouch. They're not very sweet, and while they look like little cornflakes, they have a very heavy, dense coconut-meaty texture to them - because, well, they're made from coconut meat. Not a fan to eat these on their own. But, they're dense and filling.

Nutritious Living Hi-Lo in vanilla almond looks like small little flakes, and has a nice little sweet flavor to them while maintaining a cereal-like consistency. The serving size is pathetic (half a cup), but this really satisfied my cereal craving.

What I decided to do is mix the two, and add a handful of sliced almonds. I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk with a splash of light cream to add a milk flavor. I also added a sprinkle of stevia because unsweetened almond milk tastes like garbage by itself, and I usually use it as a filler for my protein smoothies (separate post on here). In the end, it was satisfying and filling. Might not be the best perfectly keto food, but it's better to eat this in a craving than grabbing a box of Cheerios and milk.

tldr; Nutritious Living hi-lo good, Paleo coconut flakes meh.

It's definitely a weird idea, that eating fat will help you burn fat (my fat-phobic mum still won't accept it, no matter what I tell her), but that's kind of the point of ketosis. When you force your body to adapt to using fat as its primary fuel, it gets used to it, and will access your stored body fat more easily. I wish it would just use up all the excess body fat first, but sadly, it doesn't! :P Yes, it will burn the fat you feed it before the fat reserves, but with a high-fat diet you'll be full longer and not eating as often, thus forcing the body to use the fat reserves in between meals to keep your energy up. You should have no trouble maintaining a calorie deficit if you're eating enough fat, either, because you won't get hungry every 2 hours like you would eating carbs.

As keenanpepper says, tracking your macros is watching how many grams of carbs, fats, and proteins you eat. Keto calculator can help you figure out exactly what yours should be--everyone's a little different. Lots of redditors use My Fitness Pal to help them log and track their macros (You can friend me there as kittylovesmangoes, though I have to say I'm not the most consistent at logging :P). For example, I have my macros on MFP set to 75% fat, 20% protein, and 5% carbs. If I had time to work out regularly, they'd probably be closer to 65% fat and 30% protein. Have you browsed the links in the sidebar here and at the main r/keto page? Great resources for beginners! Good luck, and feel free to ask away if you have any more questions. Now I want Ethiopian food. :)

Thanks for the link and good point. I’ve seen similar entries such like so:

https://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/native-forest/organic-young-jackfruit https://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/usda/jackfruit

I know it’s not the most reputable site but it is interesting that there’s a wide difference between the entries on the same site.

Still I have a hard time not believing the label on the package, you’d think if that were wildly off they’d face some sort of lawsuit, right?

As someone who has gone through a year of professional therapy for disordered eating, I'd encourage you to seek a professionally registered dietician. I was nervous about the cost, but called around, and found a phenomenal woman who uses a sliding scale based on income.

Secondly, I would use a handwritten journal to jot down your feelings during the craving, how hungry you actually are (using a hunger scale like this), and then decide on what to do with that feeling. For example, I would have a journal entry something like this: * 11:20 AM; craving something sweet; hunger scale: 5 - not hungry; feeling lonely, PMSing, etc. Course of Action: Walked dog for 45 minutes, drank 30 ounces of water, decided to sew after.

I also use the H-A-L-T method...something that a lot of addicts of all sorts use. It stands for Hungry-Angry-Lonely-Tired, and is a self- care tool. When I reach for food out of emotional needs/boredom, I ask myself, "What do I need in this moment? Am I actually hungry? Am I angry? Am I lonely/frustrated/bored? Am I tired?" Processing the emotions behind the eating, and identifying what you truly need in that moment are the keys here, not just replacing the snacking with something "keto-friendly." Emotional eating can be stemmed to a lack of social interaction, community, creative outlets, etc. I've also heard people using the BORED acronym when they're bored, and reach for food. BORED stands for Been Creative? Outside Play? Read a Book? Exercised 20 minutes? Do something helpful (for yourself, or others)?

In addition, I highly recommend Charles Duhhig's <em>The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business</em> - it's a phenomenal read about habits, how we build them, types of habits, and how to rewire habits.

I'm happy to answer any questions, or concerns you may have.

Net carbs can vary, so check the labels (or use a free database like Myfitnesspal) there is a chrome plug-in that will calculate percentages too. For homemade, you can enter your ingredients and it will do the math for you.

Also note the serving size is usually 2 Tbs, so consider how much you like to eat at one time and what you want to eat them with.

I've started microwaving my eggs in one of these. Quick and easy to clean, but haven't tried 'frying' yet, only scrambled.

I've always just ordered it online. I'm assuming they would ship to Australia?? But I couldn't say for sure.

EDIT: You can get it on Amazon. Australians have Amazon.....Right???

I found the one that I have had for about a decade now....here it is on Amazon. Pretty pricey there, but this is the exact model that has worked well for me: https://www.amazon.com/Gourmet-Tofu-Press-Marinating-Dish/dp/B002QO5LY8

I have something very similar to this and it works great

There are better ones out there, but this single burner is only $11.99 if yours in the US

IMUSA USA GAU-80305 Electric Single Burner 1100-Watts, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005T0SN0K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_YT0790925MPYJDKY0SKR

So if I'm understanding correctly, Adams 100% Natural Crunchy Peanut Butter for example has two carbs per tablespoon? Damn, I thought peanut butter was supposed to be great for keto. Also, what makes up the 3rd gram of carbs that isn't listed?

I think by far the easiest way to add protein without adding any other macros is protein powder. My preferred brand is optimum nutrition (I think it tastes best). 2g of carbs, 1g of fat, and 30 g of protein.

I also like lite cheese sticks - A Kraft 2% milk cheese stick has no carbs, 4g of fat, and 7g of protein.

Should have done this before but here's a link to my MFP diary.

Haven't really been keeping up on lately, you'll have to go back a month or 2. Also I know once or twice I just put something like "chicken cutlet" rather then adding all the vegan ingredients one by one because the were cheat days anyway. But yeah I didn't actually eat the meat product.

This isn't specifically vegetarian but you can adapt many of the recipes and there are some veg ones that are excellent!

Based on advanced internet research, it looks like the main difference is that feta has more salt.

Thank you very much for the feedback. I got the ratio of carbs to net carbs for lettuce from here: "Green Leaf Lettuce 1 cup shredded Net Carbs 0.50 Total carbs 1.00"https://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/food/lettuce/carbohydrate But is the way that you calculate net carbs is to deduct the fiber from the total carbs? Edit: I apologize. My question was poorly phrased.

Hello there, I lost 28 lbs on a ketotarian diet. There are some really tasty meals in this cookbook ketotarian cookbook

If you are taking a statin, you absolutely need to be taking a CoQ10 supplement, especially being vegetarian as well. It is very unhealthy to be on a statin and not taking CoQ10.

I’d also recommend you do some modern reading on Cholesterol. It’s highly likely you might be perfectly healthy without a statin. LDL and HDL cholesterol tests are a bit outdated. Only sharing to help.

If you have a Costco nearby see if they something called Keto Coconut Clusters. Or even you can order it off their website. It’s about 10 bucks a bag where I live but it might as well be crack cocaine.

Edit here is an Amazon link but if you do costco it should be cheaper.

Coconut Keto Clusters with Organic Pecans, Almonds & Pumpkin Seeds https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FD5R3XK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_JRB50VDCRQ2GWETXBHCJ?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1

There are some symptoms from keto, but everyone is affected differently. I would get some Ketostix from Amazon to be sure. They're pretty cheap!

Here you go :)

I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0787RBSF8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;th=1 and mixed it with my cold brew this morning in a blender bottle. It's 120 calories and has 2g net carbs and 27g protein. It tastes really good with coffee, imho. I am so close to hitting my protein goal now!

Hey, stir fry is a great keto dish. You get your veggies and enough fat for a good meal. You have to be careful that you use soy sauce / condiments in general that contain no sugar. Finding those can be hard.

I fry tofu cubes for my stir fry a lot. The secret to good tofu is to have a tofu press (to get the water out), and then marinate it in some good stuff for at least 8 hours otherwise it's too bland. Soy sauce and peanut butter is a nice one.

Of course rice and noodles are out. A good substitute for wheat noodles are shirataki noodles, they have no carbs (actually they have no calories at all). Also, if you cook rice, refrigerate it for a day, then reheat it, it has a lot less carbs. Link to article explaining why

As to your "scientific" question, I don't see a difference between Asians and Europeans in terms of carb preferences. If anything, people in the West eat even more carbs, that is a problem of civilization in general, not an ethnic thing, and you do not "adapt" to carbs, except if you count getting Diabetes as an adaptation. Evolution doesn't work that fast - we've only been on carb heavy diet for maybe a hundred years, and the overabundance of sugar is a post-WWII thing actually.

As far as I know, there are many foods in Asia that are pretty keto friendly. Buddhist monk's nutrition comes to mind: Tea with rancid yak butter sounds a lot like bulletproof coffee to me. Indian cuisine has a lot of keto friendly stuff, my favorite is cauliflower cooked in curry and ghee. Curries in general are great if you leave the rice.

beast burgers and pea protein.

I'm trying this stuff out, suggested by a very informative gal who works in the vitamin section of a local health food store. I'm no expert, so I won't say whether green vibrance is what you need or not, but check it out and see what you think.

It's a bit of an adjustment from sweetened gum, but I'm a big fan of Falim. After chewing Falim exclusively for almost a year, the idea of sweetened gum (even sugar-free) just seems kind of off-putting.

I got my on amazon.ca

it's basically just fiber. you may be able to get something else that's tasteless, and just a fiber filler.

You can add some soybeans to your diet perhaps! They taste awesome in taco, salad, chilli etc Here is the amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Eden-Organic-Black-Beans-15-Ounce/dp/B000GZS9Q6?th=1 and try Isopure Zero carb for smoothies and waffles. I made zero carb cookies with Isopure which had 11 protein and 57 Kcal!

DERMAREST PSORIASIS SHAMP/COND works great for hair.

I'm not sure if you would rather have just the moisturizer if your bald, i've never used that version.

If it helps, I mix tri-salts with cocoa powder, coconut oil, butter, and sweetener for a salted chocolate fat bomb to get my electrolytes—it really helps with keto flu! Plus, it's almost like eating real chocolate...

I ordered 16 of these just in case.

It should last a while.

Might need a protein supp to hit that target. Labdoor gave Garden of Life a pretty good review.

> 0.8 grams of protein per pound of lean bodyweight should suffice

I agree, I've seen this number in plenty of places. Just wondering why multiple servings of protein powder instead of whole foods, I guess? I tend to limit my intake to one serving a day, but at the end of the day that's personal preference. Again, nuts, eggs, tofu, meat replacements are other good sources.

>Problem with beans, black soybeans or otherwise, is that they're way too high in carbs - otherwise, I would love to.

Black soy beans only have 1 gram net carb. They're great for veggie keto. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GZS9Q6/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_HcmZxb4MVJ9T3

>Also, could you expand on why evening is a "weird place" for it?

Re: bulletproof coffee. I've been doing IF as well, I definitely get not drinking it in the morning. Usually people use bullet proof coffee as a tool to stave off hunger for a long time. It seems like a weird place to use those calories, since you'll likely be eating a large meal soon after. Why not include real food for those calories? I think that's why it feels strange. Maybe a fat bomb after dinner? Or some extra cheese with all that veg?

If you still want to do a bulletproof coffee, maybe after lunch to get you to dinner?

>I've never heard that yogurt is something to worry about and now I've heard it twice.

It IS only 7 grams of carbs, but straight from sugar. That is pretty indulgent, considering it's nearly half your carbs for the day. Also having something with that much sugar can cause more sugar cravings and more hunger, which is worse (in my experience) earlier in the day. Maybe try cottage cheese instead?

Protein shake.

Now Sports whey Protein isolate

The powder has less than one carb per serving. You Can make your own shake however you want. I have eaten Atleast one shake a day for almost 10 months

I use now sports whey protein isolate.It has 25g protein per scoop. Zero sugar and less than one gram carbs if any carbs. I use the unflavored kind and use a few drops of better stevia. I use 1.5 scoops so I'm usually get 75g a day just from my shakes. This is the second powder I have tried.

The first one I used for months was Gold Standard 100% whey protein. It has 24g protein and 3 carbs and has 20+ flavors.

I put carrots, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, red bell peppers, cauliflower, ton of onions and use this: http://www.amazon.com/Maesri-Thai-red-curry-cans/dp/B000ETLVXC

I'm not too intense about the carbs, as long as it's low (<20). Working out with <80 carbs per day is painful.

I checked out orgain, which seemed like a pretty good idea. It would bump me up about $11 more a week though. A grass-fed whey is interesting. True nutrition is even priced pretty well, though I'd prefer to buy in bulk. I found http://www.amazon.com/ProMix-Grass-Fed-Whey-Protein/dp/B00GXLFUUA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1436485162&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=grass-fed+whey+protein which after readjusting a few things only raises my weekly costs about $3.50. It also cuts almond butter down to 2oz a day. That seems like a pretty good compromise and will provide me 71g/day which is much better than before. Thank you so much for the help!
