    • Hi, hdbabe49. Staples like keto bread can be purchased – no worries. As for the rest, you may be better served by switching to the more flexible regular low-carbohydrate route for the personal version of the Menu Planner, then just tweaking it to be keto. You can do this by deselecting “keto” in the “Dietary Needs” section of your profile (lower right area), then generating a new menu. Once you have the template, click on the edit tool at the upper right of each meal, then make your food selections – you will be guided by the meal pattern, which you can make keto through the following substitutions:
      * For each carbohydrate exchange, use two fat exchanges
      * For each fruit exchange, use a vegetable exchange (unless you use low-carbohydrate fruits like cantaloupe, casava melon, raspberries, or strawberries.
      * For a fruit exchange, use an ounce of dark chocolate (preferably 70% or higher cocoa solids) or a 125-calorie portion of one of our keto desserts.

      The foods are intentionally fairly generic, so that you can prepare them as you wish, still following the keto principles exhibited in our recipes (for example, melting cheddar cheese on vegetables, having nut flour as cereal, adding cream to yogurt, etc.). You can see what foods are considered to be keto supportive here: http://www.trimdownclub.com/what-to-eat-keto.

      If you prefer fewer meals per day as in the keto plan, you can add exchanges from the unwanted snacks to your other meals. Note that since the system wants something at every meal, you can just add a random item like “Vegetables of Your Choice.”

      If you would like additional help, please let me know.

    • Hi, Chavala. The basic Trim Down Club program is not keto (just low-carbohydrate), but you can receive a set of keto menus through Customer Service (click on “Contact Us” below). If you want to use the Menu Planner application to build keto menus, , access the subapplication of the Menu Planner by clicking on the circular arrow icon on the right side of each meal header. Once in that area, select foods of your choice to match the food group exchanges listed, but making the following substitutions:
      1. Two fats for each carbohydrate exchange
      2. Non-starchy vegetables instead of fruits, one exchange for one exchange
      3. No sweet exchange
      4. Talk to your health care provider about multivitamin/mineral and calcium supplements.
