YEAST! Game Changer
Any context about how it changes the game?
A pictureās worth a thousand words, but which thousand?
Depends weāre all individuals. Not everything is for everyone. I love baking with it, it comes out tasting as close to the bakery and one can get. Itās worth 2000 words for me 
Iām not suggesting yeast is a problemā¦
Do you eat a lot of baked goods?
Iām fortunate that I never really cared for bread, cookies and cakes even before I went low carb, but I realize a lot of people have trouble giving up the things that lead to a lot of health issues, and brought them to the point where they think going " keto " would be a good thing.
Sugar is addictive, and the addiction is driven by the sweetness.
Who eats bread that isnāt āsweetā tasting?
Sometimes (often ) trying to hold onto the behavior that leads to our demise can really get in the way of success with healing.
There are a lot of " Keto " sites out there that make a big deal out of their Keto friendly desserts and treats. They are definitely trying to lure people to their site where they are trying to sell information.
Forgive the clichĆ©, but it would seem they want us to have our cake and eat it tooā¦
I notice they usually bury the nutrition information and serving size in a ton of other information and click-adds.
According to the pretzel recipe 1 serving is one pretzel, without giving a particular weightā¦
It is 320 calories with 6 net carbsā¦ That is a substantial carb load if one is trying to limit carbs to 20 a day. For me, it would almost serve as a meal, and leave me hungry.
At a site like the Diet Dr. They tell you right at the top what the nutrition information isā¦
I eat one meal a day, and around 7pm I absolutely have something sweet. Like a 3 carb delicious cinnamon roll with orange glaze. Like my picture.
Sometimes I donāt want to finish the entire thing, but yes thatās what I do at least five days a week.
I have seven meals in one week and probably around 5-3 carbs snacks or less, a week.
Iāve done it since I started four years ago with my extreme weight loss.
I only eat once a day around 24-30 carbs a day with a 3 carb snack.
I just dropped back down that low a little over a month ago, however Iāve always only ate one meal and one snack a day.
There are days I donāt even want it, there are days I do. As long as itās very low carb I never deny myself it.
Itās why I always have something good baked. I never ever buy anything low carb in the store except a pint of low carb icecream once I a while.
Everything I eat is made by me and not processed.
I very rarely if ever crave outside that time period after I feed.
So itās not an addiction just something I enjoy.
Interesting to see yeast being touted as keto-friendly. When I joined the forums in 2017, there were a lot of people trying to get yeast-free to fight candidiasis. Apparently the yeast die-off was a fairly gruesome experience.
If someone is healthy and just want low-carb, yeast is fine.
Gluten is similar: many people avoid it but many keto breads have it.
For a IIFYM ketoer everything is okay on keto I guess (except the carby items they canāt eat in moderation. and they may have a personal blacklist for reasons but the reason isnāt that itās ānot ketoā).
I only used yeast for my breads. Only the wheat ones were like bread. The keto one with gluten had a nice texture and not good taste (though it can be improved with lots of spice. I personally dislike the flavor of gluten).
Itās easier and better to eat eggs instead of bread 
It never disappoints But we are different so we need different things for the same role. And some roles are simply missing.
āSweet baked goodsā is non-existent in my keto for various reasons.
Even so, those pretzel are very good-looking in the picture
Give me a couple weeks with those and Iād be about 30lbs heavier againā¦ but they look fāing amazing!
One net carb per packet. Itās amazing. Iāve been using it for a long time. Just didnāt know how. Itās a learning process.
I donāt even know what that isā¦ Canditis? (wrong spelling 
) if anyone has a zero tolerance for yeastā¦ They shouldnāt go near it on keto or not.
I never have, and everyone I feed knows what is used in my ingredients. Itās totally organic. They line up. Itās wonderful
One net carb. If you eat anything you buy like keto bread etc youāre eating yeast. I love baked low carb sweets in moderation. Itās one of the biggest reasons I love keto.
Lots of people I know just nixed sweets because they admit they do not know how to work with xantham gum, almond flour, coconut flour etcā¦ Itās a lot of work to learn, and itās very expensive.
However I very much enjoy learning, and experimenting.
Iāve become good enough to sell my products.
People wanna purchase my items.
I love it. I made an orange cake the other day with orange icing and orange zest. Canāt use the orange itself for obvious reasons.
The orange color turned out beautiful.
A woman at work said Iād buy this cake for 30 dollars for my friends and family who do low carbs.
I simply love cooking and baking keto.
You have too.
The processed crap is RIDICULOUS to buy. One dozen cookies are 12-15 dollars.
Most donāt come close to mine anyway.
Dream of staring a processed free keto baked goods food truck
Thank youā¦
There are no words. It really is an incredible thing. You just have to know how to do it and use it. Took me about a solid year of learning and failing. I have to tweak some of the recipes that get 2 million hits because I know from experience their way wonāt work. Because Iāve done it myself.
Not big things littleā¦ Like sifting dry ingredients. Never in the recipeā¦ However to sift or not to sift is what creates that fluffy bread taste and feel.
It is absolutely amazing, but gotta be prepared to fail. A lot.
I have made the pretzel bread (roll them thicker )adding basil, oregano, and cracked pepperā¦ After I form them and let them double rise, I put fresh Parmesan cheese on top and bakeā¦ and cut it in half for turkey bacon swiss, ham cheese avocado sandwiches. Chicken salad etcā¦ With arugula they are really amazing.
People donāt even know.
I believe the carb count for each one was around 7 Max. I make a Dijon mustard dressing. Heaven
I donāt buy anything with yeast, only yeast itself but I only bake wheat bread with it.
I buy simple ingredients since a decade and I prefer homemade baked goods anyway, Iāve been baking our bread since 20 years (I didnāt like the store-bought options back then. now itās even way easier and quicker to bake a bread than buying some). I didnāt bake on high-carb except gingerbread, I learned it on low-carb.
I used to eat a lot of cake on keto but those were normal cakes, not bread type things with yeast. It can do without expensive stuff and the result is tasty but it took a lot of time indeed. I miss baking if I donāt do it for weeks so I keep baking but those are usually simple things. I prefer simplicity now.
Baking is complicated already even if I just mix a few things and bake it, I need to figure out recipes too, my kind of simple is boiling eggs and roasting pork So baking is just a little hobby I only do when I desire it 
I canāt make very pretty things though. Except with yeast and gluten as it raises and becomes smooth and nice. I love baking bread, itās quite rewarding. I used to make it in interesting shapes too, I should start againā¦
People like my stuff too but I am not on your level And I am lazy to put my recipes anywhere too. They are optimized to my familyās taste (and my laziness. understandable laziness as if I see something must to be done for a good result, I do it. if I am not in the mood for baking, I rarely bake) and even if I donāt eat them, the other family members will, itās enough.
