So my friends and I decided to try this challenge during quarantine. I’ve been doing vegan recipes for a minute so this might be a change. But the month of May we are doing Keto.

So we will not eat over 20 carbs per day. No sugars, breads, rice or potatoes. All meats will be organic or grass fed. Eggs are cage free pasteurized eggs. Each day I will post the recipes I’m cooking. Eating starts at 11:00am and ends at 6:00pm.


Day 1: (Started yesterday)
Breakfast/Lunch-Vanilla low carb protein shake.
Dinner-Pork Belly Ramen with shiratake noodles.

Pork Belly can be found at most grocery stores. I learned how to cook it when I lived in Asia. It’s a very fatty cut of meat and was recommended by some other keto people I’ve talked to.

It’s basically like a thick ass piece of bacon.

Put ramen seasoning packets in the slow cooker with water beef broth, pork seasoning, miso and Splenda.

Rub a bunch of seasonings on pork belly and brown in skillet on both sides for a couple of minutes. Put it into the slow cooker along with some drippings and cook for 50 minutes and stick it in the oven. Take it out, add more seasonings and bake in oven until browned on each side.

Take shiratake noodles out and rinse them. Put them in a pot and pour slow cooker soup base over them. Simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes.

Put into a bowl. Put a piece of pork belly over it. Garnish with whatever stuff u like in ur ramen as long it doesn’t add to carb count. Boiled eggs, seaweed, tofu, green onions, bamboo.
The pork belly has no carbs, the shiratake noodles have 3 net carbs. Otherwise just watch any soup bases u might use.

Im learning that sugar seems to be in EVERYTHING.

If ur vegan you can do sautéed tofu instead of pork belly but I don’t know how vegan keto would work.:jbhmm: I’m sure somebody somewhere is doing it tho.
Ah well. I’ll post daily updates and recipes.

Week 1 Dinner
Pork Belly Ramen
Spicy sausage cabbage rolls
Butter thyme ribeye steak and loaded Greek salad

Suggestions and experiences with Keto are welcomed!

:salute:to you breh


Keto diet works but it ain’t something you should permanently do. Especially if you plan on building muscle. :usure:


Also be careful with seasoning your meat:dame: even thought some of them say 0 cal they’re talking about the serving sizes and adding to much could knock you out ketosis

OP you know good and damn well you want some carbs. Don’t try to pretend. :shaq:
LMAO! In my heart of hearts I’m a baker. Like apple cinnamon oatmeal cookies, rum apple caramel bread pudding, hummingbird cake, walnut brown butter blondes...
But I’m trying to kick that sweet tooth and help my dad with his too.

So carbs are my shyt. But imma see how I feel in the next few days.

Ive lost 30lbs in one month doing keto, it defitnitly works but its super hard to maintain in my opinion. Ive been wanting to do it during quarantine but i dont feel like getting the keto flu during times like this which im sure i would from all the carbs i been eating the past month n a half

Some tips id recommend
-take magnesium pills and potassium or a product that has both in one, theres plenty.
-multivitamins and fish oil daily
-make sure you drinking at least a gallon of water a day
- 100% do intermittent fasting as well, ive went as extreme 18hr fast and just one giant meal a day besides the protein shake i would have after a workout, after a few days your body gets used to it believe me. But 16:8 works great as well
