Anyone do this in Taiwan? I started about 5 days ago but I’m having a difficult time finding eat-out or finding snack foods in Taiwan I don’t have to prepare myself.
What to eat in Taiwan to avoid carbs?
So far eating out I’ve mostly found
meat and vegetables
eggs
salad,
fish and sashimi.
Snacks are
low carb nuts like peanuts
avocado
unsweetened jerky which is difficult to find.
Drinking only
no carb drinks like tea and coffee
nearly 2 liter or water per day because constantly thirsty.
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates.
Low carb or no flour/sugar snacks in Taiwan are very hard to find. I avoid stuff made from flour or that contains extra sugar, my options for a snack are usually sweet potatoes, boiled eggs, papaya, anything made from rice that doesn’t pack too many calories (like the small rice triangles at 7/11) and similar stuff.
What’s a keto shake? I’d be curious to try, never heard of that!
YMMV, if you are eating right you should eventually not need much in the way of snacks. The only time I feel the need is when I am sitting on my ass in front of a computer. If I am going out for the day I’ll pack nuts from Costco. Your local convenience store has some decent options, tea eggs, expensive nuts, sweet potato, and low carb fruit.
Yea I’m on day 6 and I really don’t have much of an appetite and need for snacks. But I do have that habit calling me when I’m sitting at the computer at night time
Oh, I misunderstood, my bad. I read “no card drinks” = avoiding carb drinks.
Glad your experience is good so far. A few years back, I tried reduced carb for a while (like 2 weeks or so). Some time later I tried to reduce fat (ate fruits and veggies and grains, beans, etc.). I came to the sad conclusion that at least in my case it was the calorie amount that made the difference for weight maintenance. Can’t comment on other benefits or drawbacks other than I’d have a hard time eliminating fruit especially in the warm weather.
