Lower "Net Carbs" by simply adding fiber?

#21

Carbquik is awesome, it’s been around forever but you can NEVER use any of their recipes unless your end goal is a clumpy mess. I use it to make Belgium waffles and you ALMOST can’t tell them from the real thing! On the net carbs thing, has to be in there on it’s own, can’t fake it by adding fiber. Even then for many people net does’t seem to do the trick.

On the pizza thing, I do the traditional fathead recipe with the addition of beef gelatin and yeast. The combo gives it a little bit more of a chew like real dough and the yeast although it won’t rise it, will give it more of a bread smell and taste.

Be careful with Paleo bake mixes, almost none of them are keto friendly.

I liked their Supreme Chicken Crust pizza. But I wouldn’t pay the regular $6.99 price. I only buy them when Fry’s Foods (i.e. Kroger) has them on sale 2/$6.

Quest Nutrition just started offering frozen low carb pizzas. On a keto Reddit group, someone said they picked a couple up at their local Target store. They said they preferred it over the Real Good pizza.

That should have been Birch Benders my bad. Yeah, I am very aware of paleo products not working well with keto, but some do okay.

There are 11 net carbs in two pancakes if made like package instructions. He works it in, I tried one when he added some berries to them. Just doesn’t appeal to me. He is a TOFI and has issues keeping weight on, so he does eat some things I wouldn’t touch personally.

Turns out none of the stores on their website don’t have anything but the bars. I don’t do bars, I make my own. I would be willing to go to a store that has them but ordering frozen foods on line is also not something I do.

I was able to snag the last Quest pepperoni pizza at my Target last week. It was good for a frozen pizza and I’ll buy it again for a treat.

Do you have an easy protein bar recipe?

These are the easiest but it is more fats than proteins, which I prefer:

I was wondering how the cellulose powder in carb quick affects the diet? Does anyone know. It is a concern since it seems so easy and I keep worrying about it.

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #31

If you are worried about it, don’t include it in your diet. Most people do best on real foods, avoiding all the processed stuff. Except for pork rinds, coffee, and seltzer, I rarely need to go down the aisles of the supermarket anymore; everything I need (meat, vegetables, and dairy) is found on the periphery.
