Spot the keto vs non-keto foods


(Alec) #1

So here’s today’s grocery shopping. Play along with me: what’s keto in here and what’s not?

Family of 4, 1 keto, 3 very SAD.

Do other people do the shopping for non-keto family members? It somewhat irks me to buy lemonade and chocolate, but thats what they are demanding.

I have Hispanic family members - so they are all about black beans and tortillas. Hubby is 55 with good BG, great BP, and a non-fatty liver - so I can’t really convince him to change anything at this time. The son’s Pepsi - yes, I harp on that.


(Lazy, Dirty Keto 😝) #3

Yes, currently my living situation is just me and my daughter (10 y.o.) and I always feel like a terrible parent buying her kraft macaroni and pizza rolls :expressionless:


(MooBoom) #4

That is largely a very excellent shop! Do I spy some death-apples in there? And some bread-poison? Is that your crumbed-schnitzel of doom?


(Alec) #5

Correct, correct, correct… 3 bad’uns in there… there are more, but I am not sure they are visible. Just taken a closer look and there’s a few more visible in there…


#6

Peas and potatos, oh my!

I really hate buying milk for my SAD fam, mainly cause they drink it like it’s going out of style. A gallon lasts like 3 days around here :roll_eyes:


(Alec) #7

Correct, correct. I actually eat the peas, but no potatoes for me. My daughter lives on potatoes.

There’s still a few bad’uns to spot…


#8

I don’t mind buying the potatos cause they last longer!


(Full Metal KETO AF) #9

Spaghetti Bolognese and are those some kind of biscuits behind the green bag behind the apples?


(Alec) #10

Correct, correct. TV snack biscuits and some pasta ready meals!!


(Karim Wassef) #11

I’ve been tempted to throw away the milk and fill it back up with cream and water… see if anyone notices… shhhhhh


(Karim Wassef) #12

Am I too late? All the bad ones taken?


(Alec) #13

No there’s at least one left… but it’s tough to find! And, frankly, it’s probably the worst one!!


(Karim Wassef) #14

Is it the lemonade and Pepsi in the front?

Bag of chips off to the side I think


(Alec) #15

Correct and no. But I think you got the last one… bloody lemonade… ie pure flippin sugar… my son lives on this, gawd knows what his blood sugar levels go like. I hope he grows out of it. But telling a 15 year old youth what to eat is a mug’s game. He is as thin as a rake right now and nearly 6 bloody feet, so he’s not doing too badly on it.

So, here’s the non-keto list…

Lemonade
Choc biscuits
Pasta (you can see the end of the packet, but you’d never know it was pasta)
Pasta ready meals
Potatoes
White bread
Apples
Chicken schnitzels
Peas
Tangerines (you can’t see them in the pic)
Hash browns (wrapped in paper)
2 pizzas (buried underneath the pile)

Now compare keto list…

Pork joint
Chicken wings
Beef mince
Pork belly
Chicken drumsticks (these are actually for the dog!!)
Cream
Cream cheese
Shredded cheddar (this is what you might have seen as chips, @Karim_Wassef)
Shaved Parmesan
Brie
Broccoli
Brocollini
Onion (just keto?)
Mushrooms
Olive oil
Mixed nuts
Eggs
Blueberries
Raspberries
Butter
Bacon
Steak

So, even though there’s only 1 ketoer in the family, I get “mostly” keto foods. The others have to specifically ask for non-keto foods (apart from peas, which I eat as well).

We shop disjointedly, meat and frozen veggies from Costco, other items from the local grocery chain. I looked at my cart this past week, and realized out of the entire cart I would only be eating/drinking 3 or 4 items, cheese, wine, blueberries, and maybe some beef snack sticks. Kind of depressing, to realize if I lived alone how small my grocery bill would be.


(Ethan) #17

My son is not keto, but he is gluten free–of course, he is just 7.


(Carl Keller) #18

Even though there are some carby items in this grocery haul, the majority is real food (as opposed to processed) and that’s to be applauded. The non-keto people in your household seem to be eating far better than most of the population.

Stop it! You’re skewing my food survey!
