You probably got stomach ache because you ate something made of coconut flour, sour cream, eggs and cream cheese

Are you deliberately being a smart
arse?

I had one small slice of coconut bread and the day before dipped some fish in coconut flour before panfrying??

In the past I have made lots of breads, scones, soda bread etc - similar recipes except with wheat flour - buttermilk - do you think ingredients for baking are eaten raw or something?

Anyone use coconut flour - I used it to flour a homemade fishcake yesterday and then made some "bread" type stuff with coconut flour, sour cream, eggs, cream cheese today.

Problem is I think I may be allergic as both times after only having a small amount I got a terrible tummy ache? Anyone experience this?

Sometimes I do get an ache using it. I much prefer using almond flour. I think the taste of coconut flour puts me off using it too.

Thanks Pew and Silverharp was using almond flour up to now but the consistency is a bit crumbly - however I will probably go back to that - it's a rare treat either way - just googled about coconut flour and seemingly it contains a lot of fibre so perhaps this is the reason.

I try to sift mine as best i can.




I finally got to make some keto chicken maryland. I used parmesan and almond flour as the breading. Worked out great.

Sausage question, any brands that are just 100% pork/pork fat and seasonings? no wheat, potatoes or rice? there is a lot of cr@p in your average supermarket sausage.

I think I've seen reference to 100% pork sausages that are gluten free but most sausages on the market will be, at best, 80%. A good chunk of the balance is rusk to help it bind.

There was a great local butcher near my old job that did lovely sausages. I think they were of the order of 90%, or so he claimed. Even the much-vaunted Superquinn sausages were 80%.

I found some in Supervalu recently that were 90% pork - but I can't for the life of me remember their name - It was a Roscommon branch too so they could be a local supplier.

Now you mention it, I think I saw those before. Wood-something from Cork.

M&S apparently have 97% pork sausages. I often go for the bratwurst (sp?) in LIDL. More a hotdog taste...

went to their store in Blackrock, 0.6 carbs per 100g and 2 packs for 6 euro so priced ok too.

How do you find the grocery bill on keto? More expensive than what you where previously eating?

good question , i guess it depends on what you are switching from. i never bought my lunch at work and takeouts were once or twice a month and i rarely bought snacks spontaneously.
During the week now i dont eat breakfast and if i was having lunch that would be a couple of hard boiled eggs with a couple of slices of bacon or an avocado, so whats that? a tenner for half the standard meals in a week 10/21. dinner i'd say might be average cost, meat , green veg, cauliflower and given that fat isnt perceived as something to be avoided it doesnt mean i have to go for the more expensive lean cuts or with mince meat the fattier type is cheaper than the 5% stuff. i cant say i spend a lot on snacks, maybe one bar of 95% chocolate a week, a pack of frozen berries, some nuts but i dont eat a lot of them.
The food industry would be bricking it if keto took off, Spar , coffee shops, fast food joints would see their business collapse :pac:

I’m looking to buy keto ingredients to make snacks I just started this diet today any help appreciated and do lidl aldi have ingredients to make flapjacks cookies etc please . And what foods do they have I can buy I’d love someone to put up a list please thank you so much

If you are going to give Keto a go. It's probably best to drop the idea of flapjacks and cookies

Why.. I thought there was things like that u could make

Mellor wrote: »

Cakes, biscuits, etc are typically pretty carby. There are probably low-carb versions suitable for keto in small doses. But it's not really the first thing you should be running to buy on day 1.

I’m struggling on a diet I started a week ago it consists of all veg steamed boiled and no chocolate bars or junk so I’m hungry going to bed at night and the early mornings I have broccoli sweet pot and carrots and green beans a while ago I’m
Just struggling and if I can make cook something that doesn’t have refined sugars in it I’d be delighted a lot of the recipes I googled come up with American ingredients so any help anyone could give me I would be delighted I’m just planning on going to aldi lidl shortly today

That sounds like an awful diet. It definitely isnt a keto diet.
But there's no chocolate, junk or refined sugar allowed on Keto either.

Thanks and it is but a lot healthier then what I have been eating would you yourself know a list of meal s or a website to help me

silverharp wrote: »

That doesn’t sound like a keto diet. You are just eating cooked veg? it would explain the hunger. My first thought is change the diet, does the diet have a name?

No I just choose to stop fried foods and sugary snacks

Ok but you sound like you have just jumped into a very low to zero fat and protein diet which isn’t very sustainable. I don’t know if it needs to be vegetarian but at least add in things like avocados , if it doesn’t need to vegetarian , eggs , seafood and meat should be part of the picture. Are you trying to keep the calories very low or is that secondary?

Ive no particular website to go to but type in a few terms into youtube like keto snacks or low carb snacks maybe add UK as well so you will see more British youtubers and you will get plenty back, there are plenty of recipes that revolve around ground almond flour and various nuts so add those terms in too to narrow it down , all easy to pick up in a supermarket
