Hi everyone, I just purchased some beef knuckle bones and I’m hoping someone can help me with the best recipe to make a healthy bone broth please.

Keto about 5m. Still struggling with planning menus with enough vegetables and also with high cholesterol. Doc wants me adding more veggies for fiber but I just don't do "meals" well. I eat random foods when I feel like it.

I'm also hoping to add psyllium husks. Is there a specific time of day to take it? Should I just mix it with water? How much should I add in a day. I heard there are keto "breads" one can make with it.

I also have some Actumus Bioflow 1 or 2 I could use. I have some vegetables too. I could cook them but I have depression and ADHD and recipes just aren't "great" for me. Neither are portions. If I'm hungry, or something tastes really good, I just eat more. am not restricting calories.

I’m exploring what sugar substitutes are out there and what some offer compared to others, and I’m interested to know, do you guys buy the ones that taste closest to sugar or are you more concerned about the health benefits/risks. I can swing each way but don’t really know where to start. Thanks :)

I just moved into a place that has a combo oven and air fryer. Fav keto recipes? I live with someone who doesn't like pork rinds, so probably not using that for breading.

ok so i gotta share this bc it took me embarrassingly long to figure out

for like 2 months i kept making "keto" meals that were basically just cheese and butter on everything lol, felt full for like an hour then BOOM starving again, snacking on random stuff, headaches, the whole thing. i genuinely thought that was just how keto was supposed to feel

then i started making this bowl instead and its actually insane how different i feel after:

- piece of salmon, pan seared w salt+pepper

- half an avocado

- handful of spinach/greens

- olive oil drizzle

- salt (like actual salt, not a sprinkle, i think i was massively under-salting before)

15 mins total, not fancy at all

but the real thing is i stay full for like 4-5 hrs after this and no crash, no random 3pm headache, no losing it and snacking at 9pm. which used to happen to me literally every single day

turns out (at least for me) it wasnt about eating MORE fat like everyone says, it was that i wasnt getting enough protein or salt at all, i was just guessing the whole time

anyone else realize way later than they shouldve that they were just doing something basic wrong the whole time lol. feel like nobody tells u this stuff clearly when u start

I make this at least twice a week because it's fast, feels fancy, and barely dirties any dishes. Sharing the full recipe below in case anyone else needs a quick weeknight keto win.

Servings: 2 Net carbs per serving: ~4g

Ingredients:

For the steak bites:

• 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tbsp butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil

For the creamy herb sauce:

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan
• 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Pat the steak cubes dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering.
3. Add the steak cubes in a single layer (don't crowd the pan) and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms. Work in batches if needed.
4. Remove the steak and set aside on a plate.
5. Lower the heat to medium, add butter and garlic to the same pan, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant (don't let it burn).
6. Pour in the heavy cream and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
7. Stir in the parmesan, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
8. Return the steak bites to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for another minute just to reheat.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes:

• Great over cauliflower rice or a bed of sautéed spinach to keep it fully keto.
• Leftover sauce is amazing on eggs the next morning.

So I had back to back meetings yesterday and knew I'd get hungry halfway through, so I threw together a snack in about ten minutes without really thinking it would turn into anything special. It ended up disappearing so fast that my partner asked where the rest went, so now I'm wondering if this is common knowledge or if I stumbled onto something people actually want to see.

Here's what I did. I took one cup of shredded parmesan cheese and mixed in half a teaspoon of garlic powder, half a teaspoon of dried Italian seasoning, and a small pinch of black pepper. I lined a baking sheet with parchment paper and spooned out small mounds of the cheese mixture, about a tablespoon each, leaving some space between them since they spread out while baking. I baked them at 400 degrees for around six to eight minutes, just watching closely near the end because they go from golden to burnt pretty fast. Once they came out I let them cool on the tray for a couple minutes before moving them, since they're soft right out of the oven and firm up as they sit. They turn into these crispy, lacy little cheese crisps that taste kind of like a cheesy cracker, and the whole batch made about fourteen crisps, coming out to under one gram of net carbs each since it's basically just cheese and seasoning.

I ate a handful with some guacamole and it honestly felt like eating chips again, which I haven't had in a while since starting keto. Now I'm curious if anyone else makes these regularly or has a favorite seasoning combo, because I feel like I only scratched the surface with garlic and Italian herbs.

I eat a slide of keto rye bread that is not easy to chow down on it' own, but with butter and a fried egg becomes more palatable. What type of beef should I add to this breakfast to make it more satiating?

I don't like rare meats

Something like roast beef slices or what?

Hi friends! 👋🏻 Pretty new to this world of Keto. I've been slowly easing my way into a new way of eating and think I'm ready now to go full on "Keto"! With that being the case, I'm going to the market this weekend and was wondering if you wanted to share a list of Must Haves to pick up. I already know most sugar free items are one of the essentials but there are so many different sweeteners and oils, I just want to ensure that I have the essentials.

Currently, I'm stocked up on triple 0 Greek yogurt, blackberries from the garden, ground beef, chicken, bacon, cottage cheese and cheeses but what else should I pick up? I'm not a fancy cook, a single man living alone so quick & easy are right up my alley.

Thanks!

Previously, I was recommended allulose, in general, it's been great, no complaints, used it for making keto chocolate/brownie fudge, ice tea/coffee. I thought I was immune to anything any stomach issues with allulose so I never even worried about the quantities.

Until I decided to make close a large batch of chocolate milk... I ended up drinking wellllll over 100grams of allulose at once. Everything was perfectly fine until it wasn't. From the moment it was bathroom time, I was basically bathroom bound for the next 3 hours. You may think you're finally done after an hour, but it's only a matter a matter of time before another 'shart' builds up in 5 minutes.

So any suggestions? I've read that monk fruit extract powder, something like 50-100grams can last for extremely long time, but precision scale/scoops are needed because it's very powerful depending on the mongroside V percentages.

Thanks.

I'm ready to try black soybeans. Does anyone have suggestions for buying dried black soybeans?

I want dried soybeans and was shopping on Amazon and Nuts.com. I was very surprised to find that the net carbs listed for each was very different when the only ingredient was soybeans. And Amazon was, of course, way more expensive.
