Clu Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Dinner... I should be getting fat but I'm only eating less than 20 carbs a day. So much fat and meat though.... So much bacon. I added fresh habanero, garlic and chipotle mayo (eggless). Anyways... Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your body gets used to being on keto it changes the levels of measurable ketones... its not that reliable. just focus on how many grams of crabs you are taking and how you feel.

Yeah it was more of a novelty starting out and my girl and I were just seeing who was most diabetic... But I read that too. I feel great, I don't miss carbs much, I eat pickles and radish chips to satisfy my potato addiction and I made ice cream with heavy whipping cream that turned out awesome.

You can still have tortillas on Keto. There are a few options available, actually. I make my own with coconut flour, and you can also buy some at the grocery store that are low carb. Coconut tortillas taste a lot sweeter than flour or corn tortillas, but don't forget you can always just brush some melted butter and/or put a little seasoning on them.

It may not be corn but I'm sure you can work with stuff like flax seed, almond flour, and coconut flour to make something close. Look around for recipes online; I'm sure someone has come up with something similar. As for the berries, you are allowed certain berries in very small quantities. You can easily spend your entire daily carb allowance on a few berries, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
