I came across these in Walmart and I really like them.





I've tried the following flavors:

– Creamy Peanut Butter
– Crunch Peanut Butter
– Brownie Crunch
– Lemon Delight

Most of them have 20g Protein and 2 to 3g Net Carbs and most of them use artificial sweeteners.

I can get them for about $1.10 a bar at Walmart.

They're very handy when I don't want to make something for breakfast or when I have craving for something sweet.

On the most part, they're tasty and filling and I'm losing weight with them in my diet.

The Keto version of Italian wedding soup that I make is something like:

I will make a hamburger patty the night before, blending lean pork, and extra lean beef, crush some pork rinds and add 1 egg, salt & pepper. The rest of the meat mixture turns into meat balls browned in a little coconut oil.
I set aside in the fridge for the following day.. at that time, I take about 2 litres of chicken stock, add the meat balls and allow to simmer for a hour. I then add my noodle substitute.. riced cauliflower. Allow it to simmer at least 20 minutes to soften and be more of a noodle texture. I then add a few handfuls of spinach, allow to soften. Add a little extra black pepper, and fresh parmesan to taste.
Make it your own, adding more of the things you enjoy, but keep it low carb

Esme, For breakfast I try to have some premade foods handy, like I will make a half dozen egg bites, (they last a few days in the fridge) scrambled egg with spinach, little cream cheese, bits of bacon, small amount of diced green onion or some chopped dill (depending on my mood when baking .. lol) then pour into muffin tins (lined with parchment paper) add a little bit of coconut oil to the muffin liners so the egg will release.. I will bake in the oven for about 20 minutes till cooked, then add a little pinch of cheddar to each one. Store in the fridge in a zip lock and you have a quick ready to go breakfast.
Other quick breakies I use are small amount of berries, little whipped cream (no sugar added) with some cubed cheese and almonds to take to go.

A number of the epilepsy forums I’m a member of have really good Keto recipes, as well Keto safety tips (technically, unless you’re epileptic, the diet can be incredibly dangerous). I’m trying to decrease my carb intake due to health and I’m not doing so great at it. Gluten Mac and cheese does not cut it!

Absolutely, a keto diet can be unsafe if not done properly but if done properly, it is not unsafe.

The correct ratio of protein, carbohydrates and fats must be followed.

One completed study concluded that a keto diet is safe and effective, particularly for obese folks.

NIH study:

The present study shows the beneficial effects of a long-term ketogenic diet. It significantly reduced the body weight and body mass index of the patients. Furthermore, it decreased the level of triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and blood glucose, and increased the level of HDL cholesterol. Administering a ketogenic diet for a relatively longer period of time did not produce any significant side effects in the patients. Therefore, the present study confirms that it is safe to use a ketogenic diet for a longer period of time than previously demonstrated.

More studies in the very early stages:

"The basic premise for using the ketogenic diet is that this therapy may provide neuroprotective effects in a very broad manner," explained Rho .

Results are early and often anecdotal but are impressive in their sheer range of applications. Migraines, thought to be caused in part by an energy deficiency disorder, responded favorably to ketone supplements in a preliminary study.

Oh, I probably should have been a bit clearer— I’m epileptic so the Keto diet is instrinic to my community. It’s been in the epileptic community for over a hundred years, although we’ve known about Keto for thousands. It works really well for Dravet and Lennox Gastaut Syndrome.

When done with a doctor, a patient does it with a neurologist and nutritionist. I did gluten free under my doctor a few years ago.

[Kätzchen]

Recipe:

6 tablespoons of butter (but I use extra virgin olive oil, instead of butter)
2 cups of super fine Almond Flour
1/2 cup chopped pistachio nuts
1/2 cup stevia baking sweetener
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract

Directions:

Mix up all the ingredients and make a “log” out of the cookie dough and wrap the log in waxed paper and chill in fridge overnight. When you’re ready to make cookies, just slice the log of dough into 1/2” slices, arrange on baking parchment paper and bake them off at 350 degrees for wbout 13 minutes or until the edges of cookies turn golden brown.
