I'd like to start a very low carb group to share meal ideas.

The USA ideas don't really work most of the time either I've no idea what the ingredients are, or it's impossible to buy them, or the cooking instructions make no sense.

So, are there any keto, low carbers in the UK who would join such a group?

    I'm doing primal/paleo, but keeping my carbs to 77g daily as Mark Sisson suggests. I don't find the US recipes/blogs difficult, though! There are very few ingredients that you can't get over here these days--only one that springs to mind is jimica or paleo brands like Steve's Paleo Originals or the weird koumbacha (sp?) which I don't fancy drinking anyway!! Feel free to add me :)

    Hi,

    Started Atkins phase 1 on saturday. eating less than 20 carbs a day and almost all of it from vegetables.
    So far its going ok, though I need to find a different breakfast to egg as i know i will get bored of that before long.

    In my brief flirtation with Atkins, I made a "porridge" with double cream, ground almonds and ground flaxseed all microwaved together. I sometimes stirred an egg into the mixture for more protein, but this wouldn't be to everyone's tastes I'm guessing!

    OP, We're already friends--as you may know, I'm an American living in the UK. If you find a great recipe on one of the US based sites and have questions about it, I can probably help you work it out. Just send me a message.

    There are a few highly specialised flours and strange things like that which I can't seem to find here, but it's not much of a bother, really. I've found all sorts of great stuff to cook/eat.

    I'm mostly paleo, I love to cook, and I make everything from scratch.
