~*~ Keto Chat - questions, chat, curiosity, come on in ~*~

DotRen, absolutely! I have officially dubbed you a pro. 🤣🤣🤣

I know a few people who do Keto and they all do it differently. My one friend highly recommends going to YouTube and looking up Ken Berry Keto. He has tons of videos with tons of information about it.

I don't do Keto, but I do watch my carbs.

amy you said you have been researching it? Congratulations, you too are now a pro too! 🤣🤣

Seriously the only thing I know about it is that they have a million and one cookbooks at Costco which I may have ranted about on the General board and that although the names keep changing and the tweaks keep coming, people have been doing this in one form or another forever.


^ this is not because I have anything against Keto or any low carb type diet if it works for you. I am like Oprah, "I LOVE BREAD," in other words, don't be touching my carbs peeps.

I forgot dietdoctor.com lol

I use a lot of 90 or 93% lean ground turkey instead of beef.
I opt for center cut sirloin steaks when I can because it's lower in calories than other cuts.
I LIKE chicken breast lol, but I do use thighs as well.

I use avocado and olive oil, along with kerrygold butter.

We eat a lot of veggies!
Radishes, lettuces, greens of all kinds, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini and yellow squash, onions(green, yellow, red), bell peppers, asparagus (LOVE asparagus), jicama, rutabagas and turnips, carrots(limited), cucumbers, green beans, sauerkraut (I keep a jar of Bubbies in the fridge, or Kimchi for the probiotics -just 2-3T a day , bell peppers; I mean there are so many wonderful veggies that are low in carbs, have a decent amount of fiber and are packed with nutrition

Fruits that are low in carbs are mainly berries - lower sugar and higher fiber.
Avocado is a fruit technically, and so good for you (loaded with vitamins, potassium and healthy fats and fibers)

I don't use a lot of "products".
I use Joseph's low-carb pitas or lavash now and then.
I keep a couple of protein shakes on hand for use as coffee creamer when I want a sweet coffee drink.

Thanks for starting this thread, Deb!

I think he always has his ear buds/phone thing in lol
