 Ossie-Sharon 5 years ago | Hi, Shaan. Health level 4 is absolutely fine for what you are trying to do. |
 Maeve19 5 years ago | Hiya I’m a newbie and trying to find out how to customize my keto plan I drink coffee in the morning and am just starting keto but am a fussy eater so want to choose foods that suit me I know there is away I can do this advice appreciated thanks |
 shaann 5 years ago | Is anyone tracking their ketones using strips? I started and it’s showing moderate levels. I also see a lot of the recipes I choose are Health Level 4 – is that bad and there are better options or is it good for what I’m trying to do? I am doing IF, but just started a couple of days ago. |
| Ossie-Sharon 5 years ago | Hi, Vieceli. Yes, the concept of intermittent fasting is that you don’t eat anything at all during the fasting period (you can drink water, of course). It may be better for you to consider our regular low-carbohydrate route, which provides three main meals plus three snacks in between – designed with diabetics in mind. To access this, just deselect the fasting option in your profile, then generate a new menu. |
| Ossie-Sharon 5 years ago | Hi, Amira1971. No, that won’t mess up ketogenesis. What risks ketogenesis is not having more fat than carbohydrates+protein. Our meals are balanced so that this is not a risk. |
 Vieceli 5 years ago | When you are fasting do you eat nothing at all? I’m diabetic and can’t just not eat at all. |
 Amira1971 5 years ago | Hello. I am new to this one week in to be precise. I find that some of the meals that say 1 serving is still a bit much for me to eat (I can not finish all the food) is that okay? Or do i have to eat the whole meal? Would that mess up the ketogenesis is I can not consume every bite of food? |
| Ossie-Sharon 5 years ago | Hi, SandySandy. About 2/3 cup of tomato juice is a vegetable exchange. Yes, one cup of sweet potato is 200 grams. |
 SandySandy 5 years ago | How many vegetables is 1 cup of tomato juice?
Is it possible that 1 cup of sweet potato is really 200 grams? it is a lot.
tx! |
| Ossie-Sharon 5 years ago | Hi, joycesevere16. Artichokes are considered a starch, and tomatoes are considered to be a vegetable here (even though it’s technically a fruit, of course). |
 joycesevere16 5 years ago | Hi Ossie-Sharon, Are artichokes considered vegetables or starch? Tomatoes-are they veggies or fruit? thank you again. |
| Ossie-Sharon 5 years ago | Hi, SandySandy. Vegetables are important to general nutrition, which makes them important for any plan. We are particularly interested in good nutrition and health here. If you don’t like vegetables, try sneaking them into your other foods. For example, tomato sauce for pasta counts as a vegetable, as does vegetable soup. If you want, you can swap one of the vegetables for a low-carbohydrate fruit like cantaloupe, strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries. |
| SandySandy 5 years ago | How important are vegetables to this diet? i know they are important because of vitamins and minerals (which i get anyway from vitamin supplements) and also to make you feel sated, which i am without them. but – i am struggling with them and i have tried many different kinds. I’m great with proteins and the 2 fruits. carbs are usually too much for me. but the veggies are really a struggle. |
| Ossie-Sharon 5 years ago | Hi, SandySandy. I have forwarded your query to tech support. Someone will get back to you soon. Meanwhile, you absolutely can use the menu from another day. |
| SandySandy 5 years ago | help!! i just deleted menu#12 and i don’t know what to eat tomorrow Sunday. Can you get it back to me? or at least sunday’s menu? 🙁
if not, i guess i can just use a menu from one of the other days this week. i copy each one once it’s finalized and/or the day is over. |
