I'll bet he doesn't lack knowledge of the keto diet, rather this is a rather clumsy attempt at

plugging a business....hmmmmm?

 

BTW, I have it on good authority that Barry and Yingie use this service and recommend it.

Actually, I do not know much more than the basics of Keto and have never been to the business mentioned, so, no review... I hope to go there tomorrow and actually am seeking out other sources in addition... so, hopefully I will get some serious responses as I really need to lose some weight and get into a healthier way of eating... and the more choices of places to eat, it will be helpful... so, please mention other places with good food that will help with the diet.

I find it very hard to stick to my diet once I leave home. I'd be interested in where to buy a good selection of well priced grass-fed meats, specially beef, chicken, lamb. Macro has them on occasion, but not always.

The KETOgenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Wikipedia

Yeah, tell me about it... problem is I left "home" 20 years ago... actually this is home now and I cook at home, so, no more excuses... I am doing it for weight loss...

Good link.

 

I haven't adopted a keto diet yet, although I do steer towards low-carb.

 

The motivation has to be there to eat less/better and exercise more. Keto helps many people to achieve that - other methods work for other people. Sticking to whatever plan you choose is the secret to success.

 

A friend adopted keto 15 months ago and has dropped from 118 kilos to 78 kilos with a target of 70 kilos. He has reversed type-2 diabetes, his cholesterol is good and he no longer needs medication for hypertension.

Thanks 99 great post - - Where does he buy his food? If in Thailand? I think I am going to need some baked goods if I am going to make it...

Been on Keto for 2 years and found the best way in Thailand is to do all your own cooking. I am in the same position as Jipp99's friend and will never go back to being obese.

 

I get 'supplies' from paleorobbie.com, passiondelivery.com and ideas for recipes from youtube - if you like Indian food check out Headbangers Kitchen youtube channel. Good luck  not sure what you mean by 'baked goods' though.

Thanks for the encouragement...  I think somewhere I have seen things like using coconut flour or somethings like that which would fit with the diet... I assume all above recommendations are online services... now, I just need to find someone who enjoys cooking!!

Yes online - I live in the sticks near Sangkhlaburi and mail order or a monthly run to BigC or Makro in Kanchanaburi City 3 hours away is the only way I can do real keto. Where I live many basics are just not available such as cheese, olive oil, ghee etc. With meat I have a choice of pork or chicken and no point in looking for bacon either ???? . My main problem was finding someone who could/would deliver up country with the food arriving still frozen or at least chilled.

 

Actually your last point resonates too as after 5 years eating like a pig in the hundreds of restaurants in Siem Reap, I now really enjoy cooking. Being retired I actually like sourcing ingredients and eventually trying a new keto recipe. If I say so myself, I really enjoy what I make (and it's a great excuse not to eat the wife multi-chilli explosive food.

 

For me the best thing about keto is once you get going you are not hungry, can eat 2 meals a day, incorporate intermittent fasting, and generally not miss the carbs. Missing sugar however is a bigger challenge for me but fortunately I have still to find decent chocolate in Thailand!

 

By the way I didn't like using coconut flour its not easy to cook with (very dry and absorbent), but almond flour is a better choice.

Just remembered www.healthfoodthailand.com is another good one but I can't personally vouch for them as I haven't used them yet.

 

For food and health tips the best sites are dietdoctor.com and diabetes.co.uk forum
