Is this the right place for KETO ?

I like the thought of KETO since you can have a small amount of certain fruit and veg.

Anyone with any tips?

These are the basics and deciding what type of keto you want to do. The Facebook groups called Keto UK community and Easy Keto UK are good to join. I’d start off by using Carb manager or Fitness Pal to track in the beginning. Use a carb calculator to decide your protein, fat and calorie intake but carbs should be under 20g per day

That’s the one- you can set the carbs manually on there without the premium membership. Drink loads of water! I have found Keto makes me very thirsty

I've downloaded a KETO app as well - am having conflicted messages re mushroom. Does anyone know what the carbs are for mushrooms? Also, I read online that to work out your carbs, you have to minus fibre - am confused as to whether this is already done in many of these apps/recipes.

Carbs in the UK already have fibre deducted. When you use any app to look up the carb content of food- put the name of the supermarket before it (e.g. Tesco mushrooms). Mushrooms are great for Keto

Not really the right place - this is a specific low carb plan we're following. You're probably better off posting in the low carb topic for keto ideas.

Ok, thanks BIWI.
