Well I’ll tell you that 2% is slacking off hard.

too much pressure on that 2%!

That fibre is lonely.

From my experience doing strict keto for a year or so, I never really found an acceptable substitute for pasta. After trying a bunch of substitutes, I just shrugged and took it out of my diet. I haven't tried kelp though, so maybe I'll try that this time. But my expectations are super low.

 

[BeLeafer]

Yeah, truth be told, just dive in and forget trying to create a fascimile of carb food you love.

 

[BeLeafer]

I mean, the sad excuses some people have for bread. It's hard enough to find good real bred, the attempt to make it unnaturally is typically awful.

I love my pasta sauce though. I’m not giving it up.

This I agree with... maybe one day science will develop beyond pasta

That's an easy fix -- use it to cook green beans, legumes, cauliflower, etc

You don't have to. I make my same old tomato meat sauce I love and more often eat it out of a bowl than bother with the noodles. Or, you can pour your sauce over something else ... like a nice juicy slab of meat.

No bread to dip?!? I’m not ready for chili style eating. I put it over chicken breast but still leaves me wanting.

This is one of my fave dishes -- made it last week

I've gotten over having bread to dip (and I fucking loved doing that). It just takes a bit of patience. Sopping up good stuff can be done with other things.

Roasted cauliflower

 

[BeLeafer]

You can find decent bread that is relatively low carb. There's a dark rye I can get (comes in light too) that has about 20 grams of carb per slice. Just have to watch the other carbs that day.

Yeah. So many different kinds of bread.

Roasted cauliflower

I might try that but the cauliflower will alter the taste of the sauce.

That edamame on there?

 

[BeLeafer]

One way to judge good wine is how quickly is slithers down your throat.

In the US, they are called Romano beans. My favourite.
