(Part 2) Top products from r/ketouk

In case you're interested in supplement-free ways of maintaining electrolytes, I've been relying on avocados, kale, spinach, mushrooms, Lo-Salt and flaxseed for electrolytes. Some more nutritional info for flaxseed. If you do add flaxseed careful how much you add - too much and you'll get the shitzzz. I find just under a level tablespoon per meal is fine for me.

>aiming for zero or near carbs

Please don't go crazy with that - it really isn't necessary and won't help you lose weight faster. You only need to make sure you are eating less carbs then it takes to kick you out of ketosis. Considering you have just started, use ketostix if in doubt to check. Furthermore, the brain relies on glucose for 25% of its energy (as mentioned in The Ketogenic Diet by Lyle McDonald). Some people can eat 100g carbs a day and stay in ketosis.

CORREXIKO Premium Collagen... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07QDR3VWJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This is the one I use. Its unflavoured so you can add it to any drink/meal. I used it to make kfc style keto chicken which was amazing. I highly recommend it!

Great egg cooker for batch cooking boiled eggs... Works really well - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B004PZ4J1C

There is a calculator here: https://www.genesisfoods.co/calorie-calculator

I have around 500ml of water, and around 40-50ml of double cream, depending on my mood. I could use more and be within my calorie count.

I use this blender, which has a 600ml bottle.
Avoid blenders that only have 500ml, as you'll struggle to get the right consistency.

You'll also need some scales. I strongly suggest some digital ones. Put the bottle on, reset the weight to zero (so the bottle isn't counted), and put in 50g of powder.
Then add cream / water.
I use these measuring cups to get a good indication of how much I'm using. Generally, I stick to the 14ml one, and use it multiple times to get what I want. The 5ml is useful for MCT oil measurements (take this one slowly!)

You can even use the scales to measure the cream once you've worked out how much it weighs! Different creams weigh differently, so I can't give you a figure for that one.

I don't have 3 shakes a day. I generally have a black coffee early in the morning (8am), a shake late morning (10-11am), another around 3-4pm and then actual food on the evening / night. Salad / meats / cooked veg. The only thing I have to be careful with is gravy, as most supermarket stuff can be a bit high on carbs, so water it down plenty and use the cups above to measure it out. As long as you stay within your carb count, it's fine.

The rest is just learning what products you can and can't eat and understanding how keto works. Don't get disheartened if you stall etc.

My go-to is always phd Diet Whey, it's always the thickest and best tasting imo and they do a strawberry delight flavour. I always have mine with water though (belgian chocolate or chocolate orange) as I dont need milk and it's still thick and tasty. One scoop is 3g of carbs.

Have you checked amazon? they are pretty decently priced on there.

for example

I'm a massive quest bar fan and pork scratchings fan I highly rate these two, I have a pack of pork scratchings every night

also these are the quest bars I have

It calls it "banting" but these are basically good keto recipes.

i found this to be best for me. depends what else you eat but i take 2 a day normally and more if i have a headache or have exercised a lot.

Strange, at the Tesco near me the own-brand coconut oil is in a shaving soap like container so you can scoop it out with a spoon if it isn't melted.

same, though I'd never heard about them until like a day ago on an /r/keto thread - bought a group pack on amazon for £15 because I'm a seriously bad at getting my electrolytes. Seems worth a try - and there's a lot of tablets there so hopefully decent value for money if they work.

I use an additional potassium supplement on top of regular electrolyte intake. It wasn't until I started extra supplementation, that my cramps went away. I use Potassium Citrate by Now.

I buy this one, get through 2 every month.

£14 for 800g http://www.amazon.co.uk/Biona-Organic-Raw-Virgin-Coconut/dp/B005GUU680/

this is what i got http://www.amazon.co.uk/Suma-Ground-Almonds-1-kg/dp/B005DDYYMO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348569727&sr=8-1

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cavalier-Sugar-Added-Dark-Chocolate/dp/B0079XA5P6

Try this instead.

I use the one below - had a quick scan and think it has less carbs than diet whey.

PhD Nutrition Pharma Whey HT+ Whey Protein powder, 2.2 kg, Chocolate Cookie https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004M9XJI0/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_hUvsDbAC5NVX6

I got these the other day (in Tropical): https://www.amazon.co.uk/High-Zero-Hydration-Tablets-Berry/dp/B003Y3LWXY/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1523287978&sr=8-2&keywords=high+5+zero

Works out about £3.75 per tube.

Yep or amazon

I use hermesetas liquid. It's handy for me because I usually have half a teaspoon of sugar in tea, and didn't want extra carbs from a powdered sweetener, so 4 or 5 drops of this is perfect. I don't drink tea much now though because I don't like it black and don't like it with cream.

Get the original instead and mix butter in, that's all this is but with fake butter, cheap veg oil with flavourings. Go to Amazon and you can get a gallon bottle. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/Franks-RedHot-Original-Cayenne-Pepper/dp/B002L639UY&ved=2ahUKEwir4ofBwqraAhXBb1AKHQAZCMgQFjAAegQICRAB&usg=AOvVaw1aYV8m7CIfoVXhdxAmp5P-
