AIBU to think wtf is up with all these mainly American you tube families who are constantly talking about only eating keto and then showing huge shopping hauls full of processed crap??

I'm off work sick today, in bed, lost down the you tube rabbit hole of family vlogs. Maybe im the unreasonable one to be watching this rubbish 😂

Came on here as intrigued by a thread about potatoes....

IME any American cooking or eating thing will show a mainly ensemble cast of boxed and canned foods.

Keto is easy if not cheap or particularly variable!

I’m in Scotland and been keto for 4 months. I’ve lost 3 stone from it but nothing I eat is processed?

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 19/12/2018 21:24

Me too @Prisonbreak although earlier on for me. I just eat meat eggs and veg mostly. Sometimes yoghurt. I’m being very strict right now as I want to kickstart after Xmas!

What is keto? Serious Atkins??

Prisonbreak · 19/12/2018 21:30

Diana, I know what you mean. I’m crazy strict with keto and have an intense exercise routine but its working ha.
Can’t think when I last ate processed food.

Grimbles · 19/12/2018 21:34

I lost 3 stone on a keto diet too. Lots of green veg, salad, meat, cheese, eggs and butter.

DawgLover · 19/12/2018 21:36

I did keto for 6 months and didn't eat anything processed. Didn't suit my needs long-term but no way did it need processed junk.

I'd be annoyed watching those videos too, what nonsense

Pangur2 · 19/12/2018 21:40

Ditto losing 3 stone! The only processed stuff I have is the odd carb killa bar. Mostly meat, eggs, cheese and veg. Can you link one of the vids? Intrigued to what they are eating.

Littlecaf · 19/12/2018 21:47

Oooh you’ve made me google keto. Looks fairly ok diet wise. Might try post Xmas. Thanks!

The4thSandersonSister · 20/12/2018 02:14

I do Keto lost 4 stone since June, but I don't eat any processed food that doesn't come from a restaurant where I don't control the ingredients. I can afford abundant high welfare meat, organic and whole foods. Many people can't or choose not to. Everybody's Keto is different and I don't judge.

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 20/12/2018 15:10

@Hohofortherobbers it’s just low carb/high fat. High fat as in, use that to sate your hunger but still stay within your daily allowance.

I use an app call Keto Diet which is helpful. It can be repetitive but there’s loads of ways to add variety.
