Hey Guys,

I'm really struggling to stay on Keto due to eating the same stuff over and over again, lack of bread and pasta is particularly difficult for me at the moment and some of the alternatives I've tried just really don't do it for me. I'm not a fan of stuff made with the nut flours. One of my biggest issues in particular is breakfast, I never thought I'd say it but I'm getting sick of bacon and eggs.

Part of the problem is I'm really fussy with veggies and the ones I prefer tend to be carby ones which of course I can't really have on Keto.

Can you guys recommend any recipes in particular, suggest some decent alternatives for breakfast etc in particular?

Any help would be really appreciated.

I have a feeling that any suggestions will get shot down due to your fussiness with veg, meaning a waste of time.

But do list all the veg you won’t eat so at least we can avoid them first. Be as comprehensive as humanly possible.

If I was to list all the veg I won't eat we'd be here for a while. The problem is a lot of veg makes me feel physically sick, I don't mean like a kid might bork at something I mean certain veg actually makes me vomit, just doesn't sit right on my stomach.

Mushrooms, Peppers, Tomato's, Carrots, Lettuce (not iceberg) Onions, Kale in small amounts, peas, sweetcorn, parsnips I suppose are the main ones that I eat currently.

Not so much for breakfast but ground flaxseed wraps.
Great with chicken, lettuce and drizzle of mayo in.

Tin of corned beef, i love the stuff and can eat it any time of day.

If your making meals with almond flour then add vanilla extract to hide the almond flavour.
Look for keto cheescake, real easy to make and nice n tasty. - Cheescake for breakfast = win:D

I know these are strange breakfasts, but who said breakfast had to be boring.

I've lost over 50lb so it works for me:D

Ground Flaxseed wraps are not something I'd ever considered, not even thought about corned beef it's been years since I had the stuff. I absolutely adore Spam and quite happily eat a can of that a day fried in butter with some black pepper Mmmmmmmm.

I lost over 5 stone before before the pandemic started and put my type 2 diabetes into remision. Having to shield and some laziness on my part that weight and diabetes have returned and so I want to get back on with things.
As I said above I'm just struggling to get started on it through lack of variety, having mobility issues also means I have to rely on my missus to cook for me and while some things she does are amazing I get really ******* sick of eating the same stuff.

I wonder if it’s a mental thing and if I cook something and sneak some veg in and never told you and whether you would physically feel sick from it. One is mental, one is allergy.

Believe me I'd know, I've had several people over the years try to sneak veg in to meals in some weird and wonderful ways without my knowing and I've had the same physical reaction regardless. The worst offender being Cauliflower, the stuff hits my stomach and then can make me quite ill with a similar reaction to food poisoning though not as long lasting.

Low carb pasta is a thing, though I've never tried it personally. See https://carbzone.co.uk/collections/pasta/products/low-carb-pasta-penne-250g. Not totally carb free but could be worked into a low carb diet. That place does a lot of other things e.g. wraps which you can use for fajitas etc.

Thanks for that it's something that might actually help provide some variety.

Why are you trying to force a diet that clearly isn't compatible with your food preferences?

What's wrong with exercise and a calorie deficit to drop weight?

You really need to eat more veg/fruit, otherwise your diet will be deficient in many micronutrients.

Lastly, doing diets is a bad way to approach this. What happens when the diet is done? Much more sustainable to make life style changes to change the way you eat and exercise than to do short term diets.

Normally calorie defecit and exercise is what I would do, however until I get another operation on my leg I have mobility issues and am pretty much house bound due to the pain, swelling. So I'm having to do my weight loss through diet alone. Also being type 2 diabetic, carbs aren't great for me and I was able to lose 5 stone and put my diabetes into remision using keto previously. Once I get to a healthier BMI and hopefully, finally get my leg sorted out I plan on maintaining a low carb healthy eating plan.

A lot has been said above but i am not a huge veg fan but eat it because i need to.

I cover mine in a few dollops of ketchup or encona hot pepper suace. Does the trick. :p

RE: physically sick from loads of different types of veg...I do feel this should be looked at by a professional as it sounds concerning.

My apologies for not answering this sooner this is something else that has been investigated in the past and was daignosed as non-IgE-mediated food allergy.
