Can I substitute chia seed for Psyllium husk in your recipes?

In theory, I think it might work since chia seeds, like psyllium, absorb liquids. I would add the water little by little to check on the consistency. I have not tried it though. You posted your querry on Sept. 10; have you tried it by any chance?

What's in the picture at the headliner? It looks like a churro. Obviously it's not that, but it's not in the list and that was the reason I even clicked on snacks. Other great ideas here, but really interested in the headliner.

The onion rings look fabulous. I have a problem though, I am allergic to almonds so is there an alternative to almond flour I can use?

Unfortunately there is not a good substitute for psyllium, it's a very unique ingredient.

Hi. just wanted to say if you've got an Indian / international food shop near you, you can look for isabgol. At least in the UK, it's a lot cheaper than other brands!

There's a photo at the top of something delicious in tin bins, but it's not listed here in the snacks. Can you direct us to this recipe?! I love all these recipes, so relieved to find this website. Ty, ty.

How to you work your snacks into your meal plan

Generally, it is better to avoid snacks and go at least 4-6 hours between meals. There may be times though that you are hungry before dinner and you can incorporate them; snacks are also nice to offer guests as an appetizer.

Hi, I do Home Care and I am on the road going from house to house so I am eating my lunch/snacks in the car. Do you have any recipes or suggestions on what I could have? I also need a fair amount of potassium in my diet as I have a ileostomy. (I have 2 bananas a day)

Here is a list of packable low carb lunches for on the go. Bananas are not going to be low carb enough for keto. If you need the potassium you may wish to speak to your doctor about a potassium supplement.

You can buy potassium drops online (Amazon) and put a few drops into your water bottle each day.

I found it on Amazon. One12 oz bag for US $9.99. It’s on Walmart online as well. Also, considering you don’t need a lot of it per recipe, it should last you a while.

Hi, can some one please explain the difference between the green , orange and yellow carb count? i guess green is the best...but what does the orange and yellow stand for? initially i thought it was the number of carbs but then i saw that even 10 grams can have a green dot and 6 can have an orange dot.

Green - keto
Yellow - low carb
Orange - liberal low carb

I don't eat eggs and so many recipes, even those labeled "vegetarian," contain eggs. What can I substitute for the eggs?

There aren't always good substitutes, but you may find good overall ideas in our egg free breakfast meal collection.

I'm allergic to eggs so use Orgran No Egg egg replacer. 1 tsp of the powder to 2 Tbsp of water replaces one egg (I find warm water blends the powder better than cold). You can also use flax seeds I have yet to try this however found this handy link https://www.sheknows.com/food-and-recipes/articles/955371/baking-with...

What about hemp seeds or ground roasted flax? I usually put this in my smoothie.

Those may be fine; you would want to keep an eye on how they affect the carb count.

I just wish there was a UK section to the website. Apart from the very obvious vocabulary issue, and the issue about measurements, there is little doubt that a US diet is very different to a UK diet. I’m getting tired of searching this website to find anything I recognise apart from bacon and eggs!

Crystal - thanks for that. Could you also share that I have tried every recipe for anything bread-like and have failed every time, as have many people judging from the comments under each recipe. I would like recipes that work.

And I am currently paying 9.99 a month for not much at all......

We recommend eating to hunger, as opposed to counting calories.

Simply choose another keto meal or snack and focus on protein and fats to keep you full.
