Im new, Diabetic 1, when the net carbs are printed is that 6 carbs equal 15 carbs each net carb, or is 6 the carb count? Im confused as some recipes are net and some are carbs.
Hi, Sadie2019. What is noted in recipes is 6 net grams, not exchanges or total carbohydrate grams.
I dont understand why my dinners dont have any type of veggies in them would it be okay to add some, I’m trying to follow my menu plan but I feel like dinners are just a meaty meal without veggies
Hi, My2020goals. The keto plan allows you to add “free” vegetables to your meals. These include very low-carbohydrate options like cucumber, salad greens, cooking greens, turnip, kohlrabi, radish, and celery.
Can the second serving be frozen and used next week? Looking at the ingredients it looks like it should be able to but wanted to be sure
Hi, SunshineTX. Yes, of course 🙂
Hi is it ok to have a side of cauliflower rice with this dish ?
Hi, Miriamtormey46. Yes, you can have up to 1/2 cup of cooked cauliflower – but be sure to add 1/2 teaspoon of butter or coconut oil to keep things keto-supportive.
Oh my goodness…I’m already overwhelmed. Can someone give me some beginners advise on how to start this..I need it so bad
Hi, MaryMotter. I’m happy to help however I can.
To get started I recommend looking through our article here to learn about which foods are considered most keto-supportive: http://www.trimdownclub.com/what-to-eat-keto. Then see what you have at home that fits the bill. Ease into your menus here, and buy other ingredients when you have a chance. Note that you can swap and repeat meals and even entire days as often as you like, if it makes it easier.
You can post any questions or concerns here, and I will get back to you.
Hi – I’m a little confused. I printed out the shopping list and it has 8.14 fl oz of Milk beverage, coconut, sweetened. I thought that we were supposed to have unsweetened for ketosis. When I looked for this product the only one I found is from Silk. It is Dairy Free Half and Half Creamy Oatmilk and Coconut milk. Can I use this and if not what can I use and is it supposed to be sweetened. It is in the Vegan Substitute section of the shopping list. If not what can I use and also I could not get buttermilk. What can I use as a replacement for that?
Hi, Kya1. I’m not sure why the glitch, but I will forward it to tech support. Good catch.
It’s important to note that the coconut milk to which we refer in these recipes is the canned type for cooking, not for drinking.
Thank you for the response the other questions that I had is what can I use in place of buttermilk.
Hi, Kya1. Buttermilk is just slightly soured regular milk, so you can add some sour cream to full-fat milk – for one cup of keto buttermilk, add 5 tablespoons of full-fat sour cream to 3/4 cup full-fat milk. Note that it will have 100 calories more per cup than regular buttermilk.
Is this a whole meal? Asian chicken or can I add veggies on the side?
Hi, jcarr. This is essentially the whole meal, but you can add up to a cup of “free” vegetables, such as greens, zucchini, cucumber, scallions, or celery.
Is this vinegar white and is the cider apple or is this suppose to be apple cider vinegar?
Hi, mperry46. Either will do, a will rice vinegar or wine vinegar.
What can I use instead of red jalepeno
Hi, KCALHOUN. Regular chili powder or flakes, or even paprika would be fine.
How many servings does this recipe make?
Hi, Jkesl. This recipe makes two servings. The number of servings is always listed at the far right end of the summary bar, just above the photograph.
What are the substitutes for coconut oil and coconut milk?
Hi, LiveFree. Any other healthy oil (olive, avocado, organic canola, almond, hazelnut, etc. but not flaxseed – it shouldn’t be heated) will do instead of coconut oil. To replace the coconut milk, you can use regular dairy light cream or a non-dairy, no-sugar-added milky beverage with an extra 1/2 cup of oil to keep it keto.
I don’t like dark chicken meat. What can I use instead?
Hi, Scocoaboy. White meat is fine, as would be any other meat.
This soup is delicious.
