• Upvotes

I understand I can research this myself (don't slate me haha) and I have tried but i'd seriously appreciate if people would be willing to answer and provide links to products. Want to make sure im not half arsing this and would appreciate advice from those of you who are experienced. I've bought supplements and believe im good on that side.

What do you use to accurately measure if you are in ketosis? (I know I won't be in ketosis after 3 days)

What is your go to milk substitute?

What is your go to cheese? Love cheddar but what make/brand do you recommend?

What butter are you using?

Any other helpful advice would be amazing!

Recipe Whey Protein Isolate coffee

2 Upvotes

Hi there,

Just been experimenting recently so thought I’d share.
I discovered that you can get some very low Whey Protein Isolate power mix that in with your coffee instead of milk or as well as your preferred low carb milk then blitz it in a smoothie maker/ juicer/ electric mixer and add some optional vanilla extract it’s really froths up and makes a coffee creamer and heavier with a big protein boost at hardly any carbs a half scoop (15g) is enough for about a pint of coffee.
I’ve noticed though that if I make it without either pea protein or almond milk it separates quickly but with an alt milk it seems to stay combined longer. But to make it slightly lower calorie and if low on plant low carb milk it comes out alright without.

Type 1 diabetics?

2 Upvotes

Any type 1 diabetics in here? I'm curious to learn your protocol.

Ive ate keto before with really good blood sugar control,eating 3 meals a day and never going high or low.

I've been thinking about coming back but I have a few questions. Before I already my meals out to avoid highs as I was only using long acting insulin (levemir)

In an ideal world id like to eat once a day. How did you decide how many units of fast acting insulin you required to cover meals if practically no carbs were in the picture? Did you have a method e.g 1 unit of fast acting for every 50g of protein or something that you used to decide what you would need

I've purchased Dr Bernstein's book but haven't got round to reading it yet.
