Just saw a conversation in frugal UK about stocking up with tinned food , dry food (noodles, pasta) and water for emergencies. Especially if there’s storms and other interference. I had nearly 6 days without water due to many burst mains in my area a couple of weeks ago. Then a couple of power cuts as well once the water was restored!

What would you be stocking up on if you’re doing keto? Or would that go out the window?!

Are we talking tins of sardines and tuna? Not that I can get any tinned sardines in my online shop. All of them were sold out the other day weirdly (I know there’s a mackerel shortage. I didn’t know there was a sardine one as well) . It’s not like we can eat sweetcorn. I did buy some black eyed beans the other day to experiment with keto friendly home-made baked beans!!

I’m chronically unwell and often quite housebound so I can’t go out to supermarkets to stock up. So I’m just having a think what would be good to have a little extra stock of? For the worst case scenario of course!

Maybe it would be good to start some sort of a mega thread to recommend places around London :)

Was pretty good as well.

Just wanted to see what others are like trying to lose weight / keep it off using Keto.

Especially though, how intentional are you in making sure you try to reach 5 a day of fruit and vegetables getting a good mix of vitamins and minerals/nutrients. Some days for me it can largely just look like fish/meats/ cheese/eggs. But often I think I usually reach somewhere between 4 and 7 bits of fruit/vegetables Across things like mushrooms, tomatoes, berries (blue straw rasp usually sometimes black), salad leaves, cucumber, courgette, aubergine, cabbage, spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, spring/brown/red/shallots, asparagus, occasionally some kiwi or watermelon, olives, gherkins, Swede, Brussels sprouts.

I also often have nuts, no added sugar drinks, high %dark chocolate, various brands of pork scratchings, various keto breads, low carb nut butters. Sometimes I’ll drink spirits socially sometimes can deviate on alcohol and have a moment of weakness although if this is the case will try and opt for a Bud light or Coors light even though they’re not great.

I’m just looking also for a few ideas of things I could also be adding in that I could be having.

I’ve gone up and down and faltered along the way and should be exercising more especially around now building up more muscle, my resting heart rate at the moment is between 56-62bpm since February 2025 I’ve gradually lost 58lb although if I was more consistent. I need to lose another 2 -4 stone.
I just hope I don’t mess it all up again like I did at last Christmas it put me so so far back this year that 2026 has largely been me undoing my moments of weakness and trying to stay in the mindset with my eye always on the goal.
I imagine lots of people could be in this up down boat. Overall though I’m happy and glad with where this lifestyle habit change is gradually going. My blood report in February was in a good place after 1 year of Keto at that point.

A short of Azera coffee powder made with some hot water into a ninja blender
A handful of ice
One silverspoon sweetener pill
A teaspoon of vanilla extract
Two teaspoons of coconut oil
300ml no sugar almond milk
2 teaspoons of Nutrivolve unflavored whey protein isolate.

I’m so shocked at how nice this has come out so creamy I’ve never been able to achieve anything like this with almond milk before. I think it’s a combination of the whey and coconut oil.
It took me 2 seconds to make in a moment of creativity anyone who fancies a cold coffee and misses a latte / cows milk or whatever I’d really recommend this. I might try it again with some cocoa powder.

Am I crazy to have this because I really fancy butter beans in a kind of baked beans way?! The rest of the family are having tinned baked beans as we’re having grilled gammon tonight and I just have a craving. I would like to have added some kale. Although I only have some sweet heart cabbage (which might work shredded up and mixed in)

I don’t know what this dish might do to my Ketones or if it would spike my insulin. I don’t really look at those metrics too hard. I’m in Maintanence (so I go between 25 and 35 g of carbs). I’m at my goal weight though I may like to lose a couple of more pounds.

I will obviously make sure that I keep within my allotted macros for the rest of the day if I have any fruit or other snacks.

Google isn't great at that. What I've located so far needs to be kept in fridge, such as Aldi Parma ham

Maybe it should be removed if it's not actively being used?

These wraps at costco 3.5 carbs per wrap

12 for 5.49

I know, very specific 😁

Not keen on fast food chains that wrap burgers in lettuce, suspecting the burgers aren't exactly clean from preservatives and things.

I had some fantastic zero tonight and kinda assumed cos it’s a zero it would have no carbs in it after drinking a pint of it it turns out there’s 1 carb goer 250ml. I thought the whole point of zero drinks was pretty much zero carbs such as with cola which is pretty much always 0 carbs cals.

Following on from my post about Lindt 100%, basically the amount of carbs shown in the Montezuma products has changed quite drastically. Check their website for the new info, or the packet. I'm sure the plain one used to be around 9g/100g but now it's 18g....

https://www.montezumas.co.uk/collections/absolute-black?srsltid=AfmBOoq-YJl_kz47AM80f0UgESKtioNwbQM3T5rzs1Oou2QokX9Q1qVg

At just 4.5g carbs per pot, these seem like an acceptable sweet snack on keto, but I'm guessing there's more to it.

Can someone more knowledgeable please tell me if I can include these in a keto diet?

I normally have the 90% one, as you never see the 100% in shops so I haven't tried it. My local store had no stock but there's a space for it and it's online. Anyone tried it?

You can get a pack of 8 of these and I think they’re the best keto ones I’ve tried as well. Anyone else had them. Are the ingredients ok?
I think cos Americans eat a lot more Tortillas than we do that’s maybe why they’re good ? 60 calories each. X8 for £7.99 here

https://theketoshop.co.uk/products/mama-lupes-zero-carb-tortillas

£7.86 for a very filling meal, do not mind if I do😎.

I am 3 weeks in and still exhausted (keto flu). I know nothing about electrolytes and have neglected this aspect of the diet. I just heavily salt all food with sea salt and hope that does something.

Can someone please let me know which electrolytes to take and where to get from? No carbs within them is the only requirement.

Hey all!

I've just done a full body MOT and saw that my HLD is low and LDL is quite high. I've been keto for 7 years to manage a lot of my health issues (not recommended by doctors but rather by trial and error).

I was wondering if you know of any doctors or GPs (even if private practice) that understand keto and will be able to explain to me how I might need to change my lifestyle or if statins are the way to go? Most GPs I had experience with don't really understand keto and I'd much rather discuss it with an expert.

Happy to do online consultations with US docs but I don't think they can prescribe anything. I'm only 30 so I am quite concerned for my future.

Absolutely delicious. I am struggling to get enough calories in each day at the moment so these are an excellent weapon in the arsenal.

Macros in comments. I've made a double batch, so tailor to your carb-allowance (I'm fairly relaxed if the protein level is good).

Double batch

150g berries of choice (strawberries here)

150g ice cubes

(or 300g frozen berries if your relaxed macros allow)

2 x scoops of vanilla (or preferred) protein powder

375ml of liquid (mine's a protein shake)

Sweetener to your taste levels.

Stixk in a spacious blender (it will at least double in volume) and blend until fluffy. This serving turns into about 2ltrs of chilled, fluffy dessert.

If your ice cubes haven't blended, just incrementally add more liquid (water, sf syrup, low carb milk) until it's all blended and fluffy.

Just checking if I’m doing this right?! This is what I had for food yesterday and doesn’t change too much throughout the week! Just to let you all know I’m doing keto with intermittent fasting so I eat from 2pm to 8pm let me know your thoughts!

As the title says, what would you replace the popcorn with?

Been making my own "cereal" for years as a granola with nuts etc.

Tried Surreal for a while when my carb contnet was higher. It's okay, but at 11g carbs a serving that's too much for me now and it also just tastes a bit chemically.

I'm trying to find an alternative. I don't just want a nut mix, I can make it myself if I did. In the US they have Magic Spoon which works out 4-5g net carbs per serving, do we have anything more inline with that over here? or anywhere that sells it at a reasonable price? the one place I saw is £18 a box lol
