hey I'm trying to have a more keto diet but I can't find the kind of answer I'm looking for.

I know what plants to put in a meal, and the meats they list are just about any meat so there's nothing specific there,
but where I'd normally have some carb with my basic whole food meal I don't know what to replace it with, a block of cheese?

I don't want to bother yet with the complicated recipes of mixed or rolled stuff, I just need something simple and comparable to "chicken, spinach, and potatoes" or "roast beef, asparagus, and potatoes"

only what to replace potatoes with? I know how to cook these simple things and I don't want their fancy recipes when making lunches for the week

also which is the MOST keto meat? is it pork belly? whats the next few after that (in order)
see I don't think I can stomach eating a block of cheese every day

>>10082255
Why not just replace the chips with beef jerky chips. I don’t get it.

>>10084225
Boil chicken breast, blend it into a paste, and then whip it in a stand mixer with sour cream. Bam, mashed ketoters

>>10084238
that sounds gross but I just might try it

why the breast though? wouldn't you want dark meat? don't you want more fat?

>>10082249
fuck that sounds fantastic

>>10084225
If you want to be boring, you can just steam half a head of cauliflower and eat that with butter as if it was a potato. Or you could make mashed cauliflower. It's actually a really great alternative to potatoes.

>>10084225
maybe stop being so autistically attached to having 3 things on your plate?

any one drink diet sodas on keto with aspartame?

I've been on a long keto diet and recently my sister brought this pack of sugar free citrus soda and it's so fucking good but i think it'll prob kill my ketosis

What do you think? Do i just not touch the stuff or will I be fine?

>>10084259
>don't you want more fat
You were going to add gravy, weren't you anon?

>>10084292
Seltzer, dude

>>10084294
no, I make boring easy lunches and don't waste time with gravy

>>10084283
it's not about the number of things on the plate, it's about not having to roll up shit or chop a bunch of things and mix it into one big "salad", so I like a little variety/separation between foods.

The real point is to not have to learn some complicated recipe while I'm just starting out

>>10084313
Make enough for the week, it's a serious quality of life boost. I use literally all my carbs on roux

>>10084303
Coffee with grass fed butter, dude. You are missing an opportunity.

>>10084334
You may have just changed my life, friend

>>10084225
Just have protein and vegetables. Or add a green salad. There's no comparable replacement. You don't eat carbs. You eat more fat. You eat less volume, yet you're just not hungry because of the fat calories. The idea that you have to have this "balanced" bulky meal on your plate is culturally arbitrary like cleaning your plate or eggs are only for morning meals. Just eat to meet your caloric and nutritional needs.

>>10084444
I just thought there wasn't enough fat in the meat and veg alone?

>>10084472
So asses the calories on your plate and add the extra fat of your choice to meet your needs. Olive oil, bacon fat, butter, avocado oil, walnut oil, sour cream or whatever. This actually makes food taste better like adding salt and spices do.

>>10084500
I know it sounds fucking weird. But the whole idea that fat is bad for you is just fucking wrong. Fat is good for you. You can still overeat, but it's really easy to measure fat calories. 1 tablespoon is about 100 calories. I've been doing this for a while. I'll eat a meal of some kind of meat and green vegetables, then pour a few spoonfuls of olive oil over over it and some sea salt. I'm thin and muscular now. It's really funny.

>>10082249
I've been wanting to make this for so long

>>10084334
A mate once made me a good strong coffee with a teaspoon of cannibutter, tasted awesome and kicked my ass three ways to sunday...

Hell of a trip.

Is fathead dough legitimately good or is it "close enough" good?

>>10082249
the other day I made meatballs with crushed pork rinds instead of breadcrumbs. really adds a punch of umami. good shit

>>10082249
are these baked or pan fried?

>>10084225
Cauliflower is the answer you seek. I usually make a cheese sauce and inundate the cauliflower with that.

>which is the MOST keto meat?
No such thing. All meats work fine.

>>10084472
I think you might be misunderstanding what "keto diet" means. It doesn't mean "eat a block of cheese" (although you can if you want to). It means "eliminate carbohydrates, eat a moderate amount of protein (typically 90-120g per day), and eat fats if you need more energy." Carbs is a limit, protein is a goal, fats are "as needed". The less fats you eat, the faster you will burn your own blubber (assuming weight loss is your goal).

I find that I am so not hungry thanks to keto that I usually only eat one meal in the morning, and then have something small late in the evening.

>>10084292
>drink diet sodas
Sure, why not? Aspartame is basically a protein (or, more specifically, "a methyl ester of a dipeptide").

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame

That black cherry Fresca is fucking awesome. I wish I could get it here, but they don't sell it in this country.

>>10086214
Also want to know this. Ingredients are too expensive for me to hate it.

>>10087127

>shredded mozzarella cheese
>Almond meal
>Cream cheese
>Eggs

>Expensive

How poor are you?

>>10087237
Almond flour is expensive, where I live it's like €9 for a little bag

>>10086214
I made pizza with it once. Honestly it’s not really comparable to regular dough, and I would even say it’s better (its made out of cheese ffs). It’s like a whole other thing that actually is really flavorful unlike flour dough

Is it possible to make it without the almond flour? I’m on carnivore diet

>>10082194
>>10082204
>>10082218
>>10082232
>>10082249
>>10082255
hOOOOOLLLLllyy shiiittt! That is so much sodium

>>10088298
You should have higher sodium intake with keto, and higher fluid intake.

>>10088089
Will it hold its shape well or does it fall apart when you try to pick it up?

>>10082194
>>10082204
>>10082218

how the fuck is breading, noodles, flour keto?

>>10088419
Fathead dough is cheese, eggs & almond meal

That's a cheese shell

Those are zoodles

>>10082255

Care to share the recipe, my dude?

>>10082204
What kind of pan do you use for those? I tried to make them in my best nonstick pan and it was a disaster

>>10086222
>umami

>>10082249
>>10084280
>>10084598
>>10086222
>>10086247
I made deep-fried "keto" mozzarella sticks with crushed pork rinds instead of breadcrumbs. Tasted much better than regular bread crumb

>>10088089
I prefer the sausage "crust". Just spread a thin layer of sausage on the pan. Lou Malnati's will even make you one of these if you go to one of their restaurants.

Keto is completely retarded cult bullshit. Do you fucking idiots actually think a product based on 80% animal products is healthy or ethical? There is no population in human history that ate this way which was healthy

>Greenland Inuit
Ate a diet almost entirely built on seal, whale, fish and tuna. Yet they are a population with an average lifespan of 64, despite an immunity to AIDS and HIV which is usually the cause of such life expectancies (in Africa for example). The western diet has improved their health, actually.

>Kenyan Masaai
Spent thousands of years eating African Savannah animals, like Tigers, Elephant, Hippo, Hyena and Wolves. Yet they are in a state of malnourishment and have actually had to evolve a mechanism by which to repress scurvy and beta carotene deficiency which limits their life expectancy to 64.

>French Revolutionaries
Had no access to government controlled vegetables, and had to eat cheese and butter as the foundation of their diet. 'Keto' is actually named for 'Le Toes' which was a french revolutionary dish of pickled cow toes with a cheese and buttersauce. Average lifespan? 60.

>Native American Macs
Pemmican and cheeseburgers formed 80% of their diet, and now? They are extinct.

>Japanese Paddy Whackers
Group of Japanese who attacked rice paddies in the aftermath of Hiroshima because they believed them to be infected with radiation, and refused to eat anything other than animal products. Life expectancy in Japan? 85. Life expectancy of the JPW? 70.

>>10092628
People haven't been eating refined sugars and grains either until recently.

Keto and super lowcarb is a good way for people to lose weight. Your average person should eat vegetables, whole fiberous grain and fatty animal products.

>>10092628
>correlation = causation

>>10082232
NNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

>>10088305
Honestly, the two reasons why I can't do keto or wrap my head around why it's a good idea is that it's so much sodium and cholesterol intake. That shit is gonna catch up to you quick with high blood pressure/heart attack!

>>10094139
Why do you use so many exclamation points like a middle aged housewife?

>>10082204

>hard shell tacos

fucking trash, mexicans would spit in your face. hard shell tacos were invented by taco bell because they don't go bad during shipping, they are fucking awful.

>>10084233
jerky has a lot of sugar in it

fuck the mexicans.

>>10092628
>'Keto' is actually named for 'Le Toes' which was a french revolutionary dish of pickled cow toes with a cheese and buttersauce
>>Native American Macs
>>Japanese Paddy Whackers

>>10095198
>caring what Mexicans think
Anyways, freshly fried hard shells are pretty tasty, even if I do prefer soft ones.

>>10094139
Eating cholesterol does not cause cholesterol buildup in your blood vessels. It's completely seperate. Also the salt scare is exaggerated.

>>10095198
>implying I care what non-citizens think
#litty

>>10095433
i'm illiterate and so, i am wondering, what does cause buildup instead?

>>10086860
thankyou

I just don't want to have to relearn a bunch of recipes and have to buy a bunch of new stuff. Also I don't count calories or weigh food, I just limit myself to what fits in my lunch box for one meal a day and just go by small serving sizes. Trying to build up to an extended fast, if my social network doesn't try to ruin it again

>>10092628
>Japanese Paddy Whackers
You actually got two people despite this. Truly we live in an age of miracles.

>>10094139
>so much sodium
What sodium? The only added salt I use on anything is when I boil cauliflower. I do need to eat an avocado occasionally to keep my potassium from cratering, though.

Keto is about protein, fats, and eliminating carbs. It's entirely your choice how much salt you add.

>>10096070
Contrary to what Climate Change fanatics believe, the science ISN'T settled.

There's constantly evolving research on what causes arterosclerosis. One of the favorite candidates a few years ago was inflammatory responses by the body. I don't know if that's still the case. One thing that's pretty well been disproved is the notion that eating eggs raises cholesterol; dietary cholesterol intake is unrelated to what's in your body. The stuff you eat just gets digested or excreted, it doesn't magically migrate to your arteries and clog them.

>>10096849
Why not just drink an electrolyte supplement, like Mio Fit?

>>10097590
I am in the middle of shithole Asia. I can't read the local moonrunes, and even if I could, I have zero interest in buying stuff that probably got industrial chemicals mixed into it to make it cheaper so that the scumbags selling it can buy another Mercedes this year. I eat food, not processed powders of uncertain provenance.

Avocado works fine.

What're some good really easy keto recipies? I don't have much time for cooking

Found out today that I can have coffee on keto. That'll make things so much easier. I was getting kind of sick of water, and didn't like the thought of diet soda.

>>10098094
almond flour bread

>>10095246
biltong jerky has fuck-all sugar or carbs in it.
If you're a burger, you#ll have to order it off of amazon though

>>10098123
why couldn't you have coffee on a no carb diet? im confused anon. otherwise, you have proven that keto is a meme

>>10095246
Make your own

>>10098123
protip.
add a teaspoon of butter, a teaspoon of coconut oil some stevia, and a pinch cinnamon to your coffee and blend it up. you now have keto-friendly, bulletproof coffee.
P.S. a tablespoon of cinnamon a day keeps your insulin levels from spiking, which is half the battle on keto

>>10097790
yep, I would never trust an energy drink made by the same people who came up with the concept of ''counterfeit meat''

>>10100867
Or you could skip this complicated retarded shit and put cream or half & half in your coffee.

>>10082194
Oh man I made those today and they came out terrible. My dough didn’t come out well at all. Think I heated it up too much.

>>10102747
What recipie did you use?

>>10102432
>you could always do a simpler version of a more complicated recipe
great contribution. why not just drink a glass of heavy whipping cream or straight lard? because it's not as tasty or satisfying.

>>10103157
Eh, well. I don't find butter coffee to be nearly as tasty as half & half in my coffee. And coconut oil really tastes like nothing special. Let alone that these fats won't emulsify in hot liquid without a blender and adding stevia means you've still got a sweet tooth and you probably have shitty coffee. I think it was a valid contribution.

>>10103157
>>10103168
And heavy cream in coffee would actually taste great. It is the literal definition of creamy.

turkey, flaxseed, coconut flour (for fiber), and paprika puree on a bed of sprouts

excuse the off lighting

>>10103246
That looks and sounds terrible. Did it taste good?

>>10103255
not really, i had to put a lot of mustard on top. but it's healthy

>>10103289
I think I would have just made turkey meatballs or a burger steak and eaten it with a bean sprout salad or something. Maybe it could have worked in turkey meatloaf form with the flours, ground turkey and an egg.

>>10102866
The video that the image is from. I made fathead pizza dough before and it was good. Just didn’t work well this time. Still tastes pretty good but didn’t get a nice clean crust like the pic

>>10103246
Wow, that's legitimately one of the worst looking dishes I've ever seen. How did you come up with it?

>>10100830
I legitimately thought coffee somehow had carbs, but I think my brain made the connection that caffeine counted as carbs. It was purely my own stupidity and assumptions.

>>10103157
>>10102432
>>10100867
>>10103174
I actually have been using heavy whipping cream for my coffee. I tend to drink it black, but my particular daily routine has 2tbsp of heavy cream so I figured I might as well use it in coffee when not in other things.

My most successful (in terms of weight loss and not being hungry) meal on keto:
>3 or 4 eggs scrambled with cheese added
>good portion of Trader Joe's ends n pieces bacon (like almost half a bag)

I can eat a big plate of that at 9am and literally not be hungry again until 9am the next day. I often go almost full weeks eating only this and lose a shit ton of weight and never feel starved. And the best part I never get tired of it.

>>10082194
Alternative dough recipe:

1.5 cups shredded mozzarella
1 egg plus one egg white
1 tbsp light sour cream (or regular)
1/4 cup coconut flour

Follow the same directions, doesn't taste like coconut and has less calories than the standard recipe.

Keto 4 life.

These days I eat egg salad with collard greens iit.

And smoothies made from avocado, spinach, and cranberries.

I eat pats of salted butter.

>>10104541
Did someone successful on keto steal your girlfriend? Or are you just mad because you couldn't keep to the diet?

>>10104541
It works for a lot of people. If you don't like it don't click on it

>>10098094
Broil a steak. Fry some salmon. Boil a few eggs.

Have some steamed broccoli with them.

This shit is not hard.

feels like cheating doesn't it?

Enjoying those bitchtits mcfatty mcfuckface?

you guys still count your kcal, right

>>10105100
>getting this defensive about a meme

>>10105127
I kind of don't even have to. I still have 600 calories to meet my minimum, and I am already set for the day.

>>10105238
m8 you essentially just admitted that you count your calories.

>>10105244
And? I wasn't even trying to say I don't.

>>10104024
>I actually have been using heavy whipping cream for my coffee
It tastes good, doesn't it?

>>10095198
except taco bell uses regular flour and corn tortillas too?

What's some keto fast food Kino? Its honestly not good at all but if I'm out and starving I'll get a mcdouble with no bun with big Mac sauce. If I have more options I'll get a kebab plate or a burger from Carl's jr with a lettuce bun. All their sauces are fucked with sugar so you can only really get Mayo tho

>>10105127
I used to sort of. I'm not on a weight loss diet any more. I'm thin now. I always found I just ate the right amount of calories on a ketogenic diet. I stopped eating when I wasn't hungry. Carbs are wrong. I think we evolved our hunger regulation to eat them only once in a while when we found them in the form of wild fruit or honey.

>>10106779
I dunno. I don't really eat fast food now. It's not a big deal since I only eat once a day. Besides the bunless or lettuce-wrapped thing you can always go for something with grilled chicken or a salad of some kind. The salad dressings are pretty awful with sugars and weird chemical emulsifiers though. The fast food model just doesn't work well with keto. They're all about making a profit from cheap carbs and sugars, with a little bit of protein, fat, and vegetables.

Consumed cholesterol is NOT dietary cholesterol. The more cholesterol you consume, the more your body makes.

Pic related, my bloodwork from before i did keto and after 3 months of eating keto.

Blood pressure was raised only because it was a stressful period at work, I was working overnights and had a newborn.

Also sodium is an essential nutrient and if you drink the 1 gallon minimum a day of water required by keto you NEED to replenish your sodium (and magnesium and potassium) for normal body function.

>>10108157
lol I meant to say blood cholesterol not dietary, not enough coffee yet.

>>10108157
>The more cholesterol you consume, the more your body makes.

the LESS your body makes

god damnit i'm done typing this morning

>>10108157
Fucking outstanding. Sugar is the devil.

>>10106785
I dont think this would fully work for me without any control, I can eat like 1kg of sausage easily.

>>10108862
When you get into full ketosis your appetite really just disappears. Fat keeps you satiated much longer and a small bit goes a long way.

>>10097790
>move to shithole Asian country
>have no semblance of being able to read local language

Are you on business/military service or dumb?

>>10088298
sodium isn't necessarily bad for you ya fucking mong. I'll forgive you for not understanding this because it's a rather recent find

>>10104489
my friend did this though, he lost weight and got massively ripped.
I mean keto can and will work if you try.
me though? I eat a 90 percent carb diet and I'm skinny as fuck. But I eat all unprocessed carbs.

Because carbs aren't really the enemy it is processed foods that are.

>>10104541
I love carbs & am doing keto you fucking idiot

>adding stevia means you've still got a sweet tooth and you probably have shitty coffee

this. I had some cold brew nitro-something coffee recently and the difference between that and the garbage I make in my coffee maker is like night and day. I could drink GOOD coffee black all day but the burnt, bagged garbage I usually drink is barely decent after 1:1 cream dumped into it

or
mix egg and tuna together to make a tuna omelette, slather in mayo and sriracha. serve on a bed of lettuce

basically just eat some meat cooked on smothered in fatty oil and eat and equal amount of lettuce

>>10108862
How long have you been doing this? I ditched carbs a few years ago. I never really did an aggressive calorie restriction, so it took a few years to lose 30 pounds of body fat. Must have been a very slight deficit that never built any food-related psychological hunger impulses in my brain. I kinda just listen to my body. I've found that during periods of greater physical activity, I crave more protein. I was recently sick and afterwards I had deep cravings for both more protein and more vegetables. My weight varies between 160-165 pounds. I can't really explain it. It's like just removing internal and external pressures about eating and slowly learning to do some kind of natural form of biofeedback. Obviously, you can't do this when you're eating addictive foods like refined sugars or flours that fuck with your hunger responses. But maybe just chill out and enjoy life and eating again?

>accidentally fucked up my ratios
Totals by calories is perfect, but totals by grams is fucked. I have 126g protein and 111g fat. Does it really matter if protein is higher than fat on keto? At least for one or two days?

>>10111476
I don't think it matters that much outside of treatment for a chronic disease or cancer cell growth suppression. I know excess protein is metabolically converted to glucose eventually, but in my experience, it takes literal pounds of excess protein to pull you out of dietary ketosis. I don't know how many grams of excess protein converts into how many equivalent grams of dietary carbohydrates, but unless you're very close to your daily carbohydrate limit it's probably a non-issue short-term.

>>10111512
I'm only at 8 net carbs for the day. I hope you're right. I don't want a single fuck up to ruin things for me.

>>10111532
Eh. It doesn't work like that. It's about sticking to your plan in the long-term. You're fine.

>>10082249
Made nuggies the other day, put chicken breast pieces in some eggs, then coated the chicken with crushed pork rinds. I shallow fried it and god damn it was 10 times better than regular bread crumbs.
