Hi, Chay and benhail. If either of you would like to have three snacks on your keto menu, please let me know here, and I will explain how to adjust your menu.
On the Keto trim am I able to use Truvia (Stevia with cane sugar blend)???
What are the “free foods” we can have?
Can I have Halo or Rebel icecream as a snack? If yes, how much and how often in the week can I eat it?
Hi, SheaHill and HelenDon. Truvia and similar Stevia+erythritol products are excellent, regardless of your diet. Do stay away from artificial items like saccharin, cyclamate, sucralose, acesulfame K, neofame, etc.
Free items are nearly calorie-free foodstuffs like mustard, vinegar, soy sauce, herbs, spices, and similar seasonings (though go easy on eating whole garlic cloves as a pile of roasted vegetables, because they can add up); raw versions of very low-carbohydrate green vegetables like deep green leaves and celery; and calorie-free beverages like water (still or carbonated), coffee, and tea (without whiteners, of course).Both Rebel and Halo Top ice creams are fine products, but note that only Rebel is keto-ready. To make Halo Top “keto,” you will need to have each half-cup with whipped cream from 2 tablespoons of whipping cream or 2 teaspoons of oil (ideally one with a suitable flavor oil like coconut, hazelnut, macadamia nut, or almond), which will add 80-100 calories and thus make it the same number of calories as a similar serving of Rebel. It’s all about having more fat than carbohydrates+protein.
Hi there!
So far I am really enjoying the menu options listed. Only a couple that I cannot have due to food allergies. My question is, as far as I can see, there are only 2 snack options to choose from; kale chips and brussel sprouts with bacon. They’re both great, but aren’t there any other options that I can switch to for the evening snack?Hi, Dandiford. You can swap in a serving of most of the other keto items from the “Snacks” section of our “Recipes” collection.

1. At least three meals per day – if you’re a diabetic, then three plus an evening snack
2. Leave out the starchy carbohydrates in the snacks, but be sure to tuck the proteins, produce, and good fats into other meals.
3. Each day, be sure to get at least 5 total fruit/vegetable servings and at least 3 total calcium-rich foods/beverages.Using the Monday plan from your current menu as an example, blending the important parts of the snacks into the main meals:
For breakfast: 3 ounces of whatever meat you prefer (the poultry or pork – or both, that’s fine too); 2 slices of bread, 4 tablespoons guacamole; pear+pineapple or just 1.5 cups of pineapple; 1 cup of calcium-fortified non-dairy milk (no added sugar)
For lunch: 4.5 ounces of salmon; 1 cup of Creamy Cauliflower Mash (one of our recipes – instead of the potato, and as a serving of vegetables); 2 cups of salad with olive oil
For dinner: 3 ounces pork chop; 1 cup corn kernels; 1 cup high-calcium steamed non-starchy vegetable (such as kale) with 1 teaspoon buttery seasoning like a smart spread or coconut oil; dessert = dairy-free, calcium-fortified pudding with 1/2 cup fruit
