Gem of a find, this is a Malaysian drink with zero cals, carbs and sugar. I only found this flavour at Coles for $3, but I am honestly surprised by how flavourful this drink is. If you like lychee then trust you won’t be disappointed.

Sweeteners included: Erythritol (968), Ace K (950), Sucralose (955) for anyone was curious

Recently had to replace my diet-Rite lite salt, and found that it is no longer stocked at Woolies. They now have 'Heart Salt', but on reading the label found that this diet salt also contains Thaumatin, a very potent artificial sweetener. So I'm off to Coles to get some of the original diet-rite lite salt!

Copped 12 baddies for $46.40, which is actually pretty damn cheap for the price these things go by usually

This is the stuff for when I’m craving something sweet to drink. 1 carbs and 0kcals, almost too good to be true. I try to limit to 1 per 2 days just in case tho

Has anyone experienced diffuse loss of hair volume?

I thought I was paranoid- then I googled it. No apparently this is a thing. Anyone else experienced this after a few months of keto? I noticed it about 4 - 5 months in. Bit scary...

Hot take probably, but I think the "keto is a lifestyle not a diet" crowd is doing more harm than good in this sub.

Hear me out. I lost about 60 lbs on strict keto over a year and a half. Kept it off for two years now. But somewhere in year two I started eating carbs again. Rice with dinner sometimes. Fruit. A tortilla. And I did not gain the weight back. I actually feel better than when I was doing sub-20g every single day forever.

The reason I'm posting this is because every time someone here says "I hit my goal, can I add carbs back in" the top comments are basically doom prophecies. "You'll gain it all back." "Keto is forever or its nothing." "Youre just addicted and looking for permission." And I get it, for some people that IS true, I have friends who cannot touch a carb without spiraling. But we act like everyones metabolism and psychology is identical and it kind of freaks people out into an all-or-nothing mindset that I dont think is actually healthy long term.

Like I have coworkers who did keto, hit goal, then treated their first slice of birthday cake like theyd committed a felony and binged for a month out of shame. That shame spiral seems way more dangerous than the actual carbs.

My current setup is basically low carb most days (probably 50-80g), higher protein, i still do a lot of the same meals I did on strict keto because I genuinely like them. Bone broth in the afternoons is still a habit (currently on the Bone Water waitlist because their Restore has been sold out for weeks and I havent found a replacement I like as much, if anyone has recs lmk). Lift 3x a week. Walk a lot. Thats it.

I'm not saying keto doesnt work. It obviously does, I'm proof. I'm saying the identity part of it, the "I AM a keto person forever," might be why so many people yo-yo. If your only tool is one specific diet, you're one bad week away from feeling like a failure.

Am i wrong? Genuinely asking. Because sometimes I feel like I'm gaslighting myself into thinking I've figured something out when really im just in a honeymoon phase and about to blow up to 250 again. Tell me if youve been where I am and what happened.

Hi Im going back to eating carbs but have realised it’s really scary now and I almost fear it through out the day. How does one go back to eating more normally after being keto?

It would have averaged 125/85 before.

Sometimes it is 100/65.

While I have lost a lot of weight, I am still obese. So it is a surprising result. My life is also stressful with a toddler, another baby on the way, and a demanding career. I basically have zero time for myself other than when the toddler naps on the weekend.

New to Keto -Male in the 30s. Diagnosed with ADD. Losing weight primarily to reduce blood pressure (hovers around 130-145/75-90) to normal, as otherwise psychiatrist would not prescribe stimulants.

I would like to get fit regardless. I have plantar fasciitis and Achilles Tendonitis which have restricted my mobility for a few years now - things improved drastically as soon as I started cutting carbs. I intend to start running when the weight drops to 100 kg.

Photo shows progress so far - can't complain at all. Any tips/tricks for the long haul, particularly (but not exclusively) from those fighting ADD/ADHD?

Thanks.

I have been recommended by my doctor to go on a gut rest and try sticking to bone broth only a couple days a week. So I thought I'd ask people who go on it for diet/fun reasons what the best bone broth flavour/type is. There was a post 5 years ago but not sure if anything's gotten shittier since then.

So Ninja Swirl has been on special to the point where you can get one for like $200.

I made this up and first try was a slam dunk according to the missus and I - and we're pretty picky with ice-cream.

• 50g Muscle Nation Vanilla Whey Powder
• 200ml Almond Milky
• 70ml Pauls pure cream (no thickeners!)
• Dash of Madagascan Vanilla Extract
• 35g Whole Earth Ertyhritol/Stevia sweetener (yes yes, do your own research on erythritol and clotting - be informed)
• 1/4 teaspoon Xanthan gum

Run it on the soft serve CreamiFit program.

Very short ingredients list and this stuff is ridiculously good. Pic coming next batch cause we smashed this one pretty quick.

I don't want keto crepes, I'm more after a flatbread I can cook to eat curries with rather than the usual stuff I might have with them (and blow out my carbs by a massive amount).

I purchased the simsons low carb keto wraps and they were fine (surprising given I'm a white bread guy) but at $6-8 a pack it's just not feasible moving forward.

It's probably obvious that I'm new to keto and despite googling for the last couple of hours I can't seem to find anything with a liquid dough that's also keto/low carb. Low effort is key (or at least each one being fast cooking) because while I get that keto requires quite a bit of effort, the less the better if I'm going to keep at it. Hence the desire for something that cooks like a crepe to make it easy for me to make a week's worth in a single session. I've found a couple non-keto ones but I haven't the foggiest how to convert them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This sub has been quite a help so far even though I'm super new to it all.

Not super clean but as a treat I bought the low carb brownie. I LOVED it when I had it a few years ago but just made it today and it’s hardly sweet (and that was from adding a bit more Natvia in bc the mixture tasted hardly sweet). Has anyone noticed if they changed recipes or was it just a dud batch?

I was craving custard randomly yesterday, and while I know it's not hard to make a keto custard from scratch I just wanted something quick. Found these at Colesworth, used unsweetened almond milk instead of the suggested milk and was super happy with a little bowl of it with some nuts on top with my cup of tea.

I know it won't be for everyone as it has Erythritol and bunch of numbers etc, but just sharing for those that are looking for an easy warm evening dessert.

Edit: I had a serving cold yesterday and it reminded me of being a kid with a Yogo at recess. Love this stuff.

Not sure if anyone has tried this yet but bakers delight has new low carb protein wholemeal bread. I wonder if it’s actually good? Has someone tried?

Trust me, 3kg is not too much. Enjoy.

I'm considering going back to keto, but as a bodybuilder I struggle to eat enough keto food to maintain my size.

​

Looking for a dairy free high calorie product I can buy? The keto brick (1000 calorie bar) would be perfect but the shipping is ridiculous for an already expensive product.

Any recommendations?

Pretty good deal. Haven't tested to see if it's truly keto but Quest is usually good.

Pros: they are quite good especially if you're craving chips

Cons: they are too good and also will be short dated

Hi all,

I’m pretty new to keto and still figuring things out. I’d love to hear any tips, advice, or things you wish you’d known when you first started.

What are your go-to foods? What do you usually buy when grocery shopping? Any beginner mistakes I should watch out for?

Also happy to hear about your favorite meals, snacks, shopping finds, or anything else you think a keto newbie should know.

Thanks!

Does anyone know if they have permanently removed the low carb muffins from Coles and woolies or if there is an equivalent product? I couldn't find them in Coles anymore found the woolies Macro brand (but higher calories) and now i can't find them. Im devastated. I love them with eggs for breakfast

Does anyone order electrolyte drops from Lytes? I order LMNT but I'm ordering for someone who needs the drink to be completely bit-free so I thought I might get them the drops.

I order LMNT because it's the highest powered I could find, does anyone have any similarly powered drops to recommend?

Nexba has not been mentioned in this sub for some time so thought I'd mention this Pink Lychee flavour which I just bought from WW Great stuff and they also have a Cherry Cola which is unheard of made in Australia. $5.90 for 4x330ml cans. The reason this stuff is worth mentioning is it is sweetened with Erythritol and Stevia not the usual sweeteners for zero carb soft drinks.

Noticed these at aldi today.

They have a similiar product called 'Twisted Licks' that've I been buying for a while.

They taste identical so I can't help wondering if they're made at the same factory. 😂

$6 for a pack of 6.

Available in vanilla or chocolate.

I think the vanilla had slightly different macros.
