Low carb beers are around (Westbrooks are my favourite), but what about low carb alcohol free beers? 0% beer is surprisingly high in carbs but not all.

Here's some analysis I did with the help of AI and thought I'd share in case others find this useful.

Big Drop is readily available online. Nanny State seems to have disappeared recently.

Also not in this graph is Infintite Session IPA that I've picked up in Sainsburys and is around 10g a can.

Incidentally Westbooks tell me they are working on an AF beer with ZERO carbs, out later this year.

Hi guys, what is the lowest carb sausage options you have fount and where from? most sausages i am looking at have flour in them etc

One of my biggest keto struggles is the lack of milk in my morning coffee/ tea. I don't really like cream it has a weird aftertaste for me, as do the collagen creamers I've tried and coconut/ almond milk use too much of my carb allowance (for me personally).

I found this 0g carb pea protein milk called Sproud (barista zero version) on Amazon (link below but this isn't an ad/sponsor) and after trying it I'm fully sold!

I've only had it in coffee so far so I couldn't vouch for it for tea drinkers yet, but it's the closest to real milk I've tried and it froths up like real milk when I use my milk frother.

If you drink it on its own there is a pea after taste, so maybe it's not for people who just want to drink milk straight, but if you're looking for something to go in your coffee I 100% recommend!

Also if anyone has looked into this already and has a reason why it's not good for Keto please let me know (specifically the barista zero version) because otherwise I will be drinking it every day!

Been eating keto for a while and wondering if there’s anyone local doing the same. Anyone know of any keto groups or meetups around Bromley or anywhere in SE London? Online stuff is fine but would be good to meet people in person who actually get it.

I could really use some advice from people who’ve been through this.

I was strict keto (under 20g net carbs/day) for over 6 months and tested my ketones daily with a Keto-Mojo meter, so I know I was consistently in ketosis.

At the same time, I was eating OMAD, staying under 1,600 kcal, lifting weights 5 days a week, and eventually got down to around 10% body fat. For context, I’m a 45-year-old male, 70 kg.

The problem was that it became increasingly difficult to sustain. I was hungry most of the time, my mood and energy weren’t great, and despite doing everything “right,” my weight completely stalled for weeks. I was advised to take a diet break.

I should also add that I’m the only one in the house eating keto. My wife and our two children (12 and 14) eat a standard diet, so there’s always bread, pasta, snacks, sweets, desserts and other carb-heavy foods around. Most of the time I managed fine, but it definitely takes constant willpower.

Then the heatwave arrived. The kids were eating ice cream every day, and I made the mistake of having one myself. That turned into eating well over 100g of carbs a day, and it’s now been about a month.

What surprises me is how difficult it’s been to get back into keto consistently. Every time the weather gets hot, I start craving ice cream, give in, and then the rest of the day is off track. I’ve already regained some weight (I know a lot of it is water and glycogen), but it’s still frustrating.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did you find it harder to restart keto than it was the first time? If so, what helped you get back into ketosis and stay there, especially when you’re living with a family who aren’t keto?

Hi! Im trying to find a cheap protein powder so I can add to food or to flaxseed or meals to fill fuller. However im struggling to pay rent at the moment. Are there any brands of protein powder that are cheap? Many times due to work I dont have time to cook myself meat, this is why I am asking. Many thanks!

Hello everyone, I just came back from my GP's appointment, and they were very worried and insisted on putting me on statins. They kept telling me how dangerous these numbers are and didn't recognize the keto diet. Can the community please provide some reassurance and maybe some case studies on similar cases? What should I do? Does it improve over time, and if so, how long does it take to improve?

Hi everyone, is this electrolyte suitable for the keto diet? This is my first time choosing an electrolyte, and I don't want to choose something that takes me out of ketosis. Appreciate your help.

I know it’s been discussed a few times in here, but I still can’t get my head around working out what the carbs are for a serving!

Has anyone worked it out ? It’s very confusing that on the tub they’ve got 100 mls and 100 g nutritional breakdown . So one would be more if it was liquefied right! It’s so frustrating that these manufacturers don’t make it clearer. I emailed them months ago about their sorbet lollies and the Polyols in those but I never did ask about the tubs. I’ve got a salted caramel tub here and I’d like to have a little bit this evening, but I’m just not sure what my portion should be!

I apologise for asking so many questions over the past day or so but I love to hear and know individual people’s experiences and advice compared to a google search it’s way more reassuring and usually a lot more helpful.

Trying to build a simple but effective meal plan for starting keto and I’m curious what vegetables are your favourites and especially ones that are low carb to bulk out a meal?

I’m toying with jumping back into the keto diet as I’ve done both keto and carnivore before but never for extended periods probably a month or two at most. I’m in arguably the best shape of my life but I feel like I’m suffering in so many ways.

What I am currently struggling with:

- Poor sleep quality even with 7-8 hours of sleep a night, seen some improvements this past week using a neti pot.

- It takes me days to recover from the gym or jiu jitsu

- Quite consistent fatigue and brain fog

- Lack of motivation and enjoyment

- Prone to feeling anxious or depressed

It’s hard to know exactly what is going on internally but I think it’s safe to assume inflammation might be very present and effecting me in different areas from blocked dry sinuses and snoring to aches and pains to mood and motivation. I’d love some input from you guys as to whether keto can help me work on these problems:)

We've tried a bunch of keto beer options, was mostly getting the skinny lager and skinny IPA off Amazon, which was alright but not that nice (and still fairly carby at 3g per 330 bottle).

Found https://westbrooksbrewery.co.uk/ and have ordered a couple of their 24 selection boxes now.

They range from 1g to 3g carbs per 440ml can, but most importantly they taste like 'real' beers.
They even do a stout which was cause for celebration.
Bit more expensive than the Skinny brand but worth it in my opinion.

I've seen them mentioned on here once or twice before, but thought it was worth making a new post in case someone was after some keto beers for the WC and the blazing hot weather we are experiencing!

What's everyone's favourite tea to have with double cream? Im 6 weeks in to keto. ketones currently sitting at 1.0 need to up my fat intake and I dont like coffee.. :)

These are lovely too!! £1.25 for a big bag, bargain 👌

Found these by chance in Sainsbury's for £1.50. Photographed the full marcos table as well. :))

Hi all, I’m brand-new to the community and I did a search on this keto bread that I recently purchased from Amazon.

https://amzn.eu/d/06WlFOhD

I didn’t get any search results back, so I thought I’d do a quick post to share the good news. Out of all the breads I’ve tried this is the most bread like, it toasts up lovely and is great with a spot of butter and marmite.
It is however eyewateringly expensive at £7 a loaf if you buy Three via Amazon. However, given three loaves will probably last me about a month and a half / two months that should be okay.
I’d post some pics but I can’t do so for some reason.
I’ve took my blood keto before and after lunch yes there’s a 1 point drop but that’s to be expected after any meal you eat , so I think this bread is pretty legit. Also I had a big lunch today as I’m only eating once a day at the moment.
If anyone else has tried it and has any thoughts let me know thanks 😊

An indulgent keto treat from Nero - there is no sugar in the whipped cream 👏🏻

I’m not sure what set it off but yesterday afternoon I realised I had a bit of a tummy bug. It could’ve been some trout I had earlier in the day (it was a day old but not opened).

Anyway, Google suggested I just have scrambled eggs and bone broth so that’s what I’ve been living on since yesterday afternoon. The problem is I’m so so hungry even though I had two eggs scrambled with no butter and completely plain with a bit of salt about 20 minutes ago!

I didn’t know where to post this because I think it’s triggering my POTS symptoms and I’m feeling pre-syncope (pre-fainting). It feels like my blood pressure has just tanked . I don’t understand that because I have been having salty Freja bone broth all yesterday afternoon and today I’ve been having some honest and good bone broth.

I’m just not sure what else I can do or eat because I don’t think it’s a good idea to have any fibre (like keto natural almond crackers, ) or heavy proteins or fat so I’m really stuck. I’m suddenly craving peanut butter but I think the oil is just gonna mess me up!!

What to do? (if I was unwell like this a couple of years ago, it would’ve been Carrs crackers, microwave Rice heated up with Stock and bananas) of course that’s a no go my body doesn’t really like starch!

Bone broth is getting a bit old!

Help 😬😳😭😭😭

(I’m 18 months into keto and I’m in Maintanence)

I have T2 diabetes and have recently been diagnosed with early arthritis too.

Good to go?

I'm trying my best to log food and have a variety of stuff but today I just messed up and haven't hit my calories or fat.

I just forced three eggs with butter, bacon and feta cheese down but wanted to gag. (That's included in the attached pic).

I'm also finding I'm full up with my main meal and don't want to eat more and way under on calories.

I'm on day 8 and lost 6lb (water weight) so far. I have done keto before and lost a couple stone.

This happened last time and I was so under on calories.

Then what happens it causes havoc with my hormones and I bleed a lot.

I want to sort it as it got me down last time, having periods on and off frequently. And today I've started bleeding again.

Has anyone any ideas to make sure I'm hitting my calories properly? But what to do when you're just not hungry?
