what happens with the celery?
Hi, tjsimmons65. It is chopped and added in with the broccoli and scallions.
I also have High cholesterol, does that mean I can’t do the keto diet?
Hi, KetoSusie. It is often recommended to not try a keto diet if you are at high risk of cardiovascular or liver events from a diet high in fat like keto. I would, however, discuss it with your primary healthcare provider. If you decide that it is not for you, then you can switch over to our regular low-carbohydrate route. You can access this y deselecing the “keto” option from the “Dietary Needs” section of your profile, then generating a new menu.
Hi. Im Gin..i eat fairley healthy..but..i need to lose 15lb. Im small..and ..most weight on waist. Im gluten free, need to watch my cholesterol.
Any ideas.
Hi, Gin. If you need to watch your cholesterol, then the keto plan may be challenging, as many of these recipes are high in saturated fats. You may be better served by our regular low-carbohydrate route, which focuses on unsaturated fats and more vegetables. You can access this by deselecting keto in your profile, then generating a new menu.
If you still want keto, please repost here, and I will work with you.
I need incouragement to get started. Ill try this soup to day. Do u have somthing with it or alone for lunch?
Hi, Allhis (Gin). This is the major part of the meal, but you can have “free” vegetables as a side – these are raw greens, celery, mushrooms, turnip, kohlrabi, cucumber, and scallions (green onions).
If you would like encouragement, you can post issues in the live forums, and I or other clubmembers will get back to you there :).
This is my first time trying this. I did the butternut squash soup it was excellent.. didn’t realize ginger as so spicy .
