  1. Oh the BBQ sauce was just an example. But this recipe for example said: Put a bunch of short ribs in a crock pot, cover with low-carb BBQ sauce, bake for 8 hours. I mean that sounds amazing, but it's so easy because the sauce can be bought as is - doesn't require all kinds of preparation. Just wish we had more access to convenient stuff like that But perhaps, as you say, it's better to stop trying to emulate non-keto and just embrace keto I remember seeing a "light" All Gold quite some time ago, not sure if they still make it or if it's low-carb enough for our purposes. You're right about that Nature's Own stuff though - I actually remember my Spar has a section with all that "health-food" kind of stuff - little pricey, but could definitely be worth checking out. Building on from your statement though - is Xylitol okay? Honestly I've had a nightmare trying to research sweeteners - some people say stuff like Aspartame throws you out of keto, some say that's BS. Some say the sugar alcohols (like Xylitol) are amazing because they aren't digested, others say to stay far away because they ruin keto etc. etc. The biggest challenge I've had is conflicting information. Some guides say strawberries are fibrous and therefore rather safe, others say the fructose in a single strawberry will throw you out of keto. I've started eyeing my Diet Coke with extreme suspicion Sorry as this is rather unrelated to my previous question, but I must say I've been struggling with all the conflicting info in trying to be as well-researched into this as possible. Have any of you experienced similar challenges?
  2. That's the problem - the recipes list a bunch of stuff we don't seem to have have. Low carb variants of sauces, special types of flour with no carbs; all kinds of low-carb substitutes really. Just don't think I'm going to have any luck finding almond flour at the Spar.
  3. Hi guys, just started Keto and I thought you veterans could help me out It's killing me looking at Keto recipes on international sites because they all have this amazing **** like "low-carb barbeque sauce" that they cover ribs in and end up with 6 grams of carbs in a kilo of ribs Do we have access to anything like that in SA? Joburg, more specifically
