Minced beef and eggs are good for a budget keto. Tinned salmon, tinned sardines and mackarel are also cheap as is tuna. You can also get cheap cooking bacon in tescos and other supermarkets. I did carnivore for 3 and a half years as I was pre-diabetic before that. Got my health back and added in fruit and veg 2 and a half years ago. Real food is the key, very cheap in comparison to ultra processed food and much better for your health. Keep away from seed oils such as sunflower and rapeseed oil if you value your health - they are highly inflammatory. I gave them up 6 years ago and I can honestly say I am glad as my body was very inflamed to the point I could hardly walk at one point. I used to cook in vegetable oils all the time. Now I will not eat anything with them in as they are ultra processed and toxic to the body due to the amount of linoleic acid in them which is prone to oxidation. If you are interested in why seed oils are bad for you look up Chris Knobbe on you tube

Thank you! I will look up Chris. Really well done sorting your health out. Cooking bacon is genius! And tinned fish, beef and eggs. What fruit and veg do you eat? X

@@BudgetFoodieUKI eat all types of fruit and veg now but do limit the high sugar fruits and prefer berries to be honest. I use frozen berries and frozen vegetables apart from sweet potato and potatoes as far less waste and no prep work which is always a win!. Had chip shop fish and chips today for dinner cooked in beef fat of course and will not eat the rest of the day as so filling and not hungry. If I amhungry later may have some greek yoghurt. I do eat mainly low carb but not keto now but do some carb cycling with potatoes every now and again in the week. I only eat between 12 to 6pm normally, no snacking. Make sure you eat plenty of fat, stops any hunger dead lol! I eat lots of butter and cook in butter and beef fat mainly. Tesco do a good beef dripping which is around £1.25 a block (may have gone up you never know these days). I buy butter and beef dripping in bulk and stash it in the freezer so I don't run out.

Well done, sounds like you got some real results. 👏 Very much agree, intermittent fasting is great and gets results, plus it saves a packet. I don't eat until lunchtime, though my eating window is about 1pm til 9.30pm. Yours, 12 til 6pm, is much better. X

I’m enjoying your videos so far! I hope that your channel continues to grow.

Love cats beans. Jack is a boss. I feed my cats on sandwich plates, (I try to get a bit of depth, not flat as Toby pushes and flicks food all over). They have snacks on saucers. Also, using these makes eating with whiskers easy 😻😻😻😻😻😻

I love keto, done it for 3 years. Budget keto can be tough, but eggs are your best friend. Get some nice ones and make omelettes and frittatas. They are a couple of pounds for 6 but stretch them out. Bacon is great too. Do broccoli cheese with bacon. Broccoli and cheese soup too.Great video thanks Xx

@@BudgetFoodieUK also, for a treat, I take one square of dark chocolate and put it in a saucepan on a very low heat. Add some cream, then let the chocolate melt into the cream. Keep taking it off the heat if it gets too hot. It takes a little patience to make sure all the chocolate is melted. Once all melted and creamy, put it in a little bowl or cup and place in the fridge. It will then set and make a little 'chocolate pot'. Closest thing to a chocolate bar on keto 🍫

Hi there! Loving your videos! Im new subbie. Always looking to be frugal in times when i need to and even when i don't....i just get a kick out of saving and knowing i can whenever I need to. Tesco is my Supermarche of choice, with a little Lidl thrown in and local Spar cos they do my favourite brand of cottage cheese! 😊 Love to you and your Jack!

Just eat half a plate of seasonal veg . A quarter plate if starch, potatoes, rice and a quarter protein of your choice and cook with low or no oil. I only eat homemade bread on the weekend. All very cheap. Look at the starch solution . It is plant based but I do have eggs an meat twice a week. I have lost 3 stone. And some good recipes. Check out broccoli mum and plentiful Kiki and bicarb hannah. Love their recipes.

I've been warned to cut carbs because its affecting my blood sugar (diabetic) but the problem is I love pasta. If you look at a diabetic friendly diet its similar to keto so you might find it useful. Love little Jack, I spoil my Daisy too, well she's my baby even if i didn't birth her!

Hi, from Cumbria where weather report is a bit miserable really enjoying looking at your food and it seems really healthy. I’ve tried the Mediterranean diet which isn’t quite as strict as keto. I’ve recently gone vegetarian so finding protein can be difficult. I think your approach is great I’m trying to be the family as well which makes it hard work, I’ve just bought deliciously Ella’s book, healthy meat, simple and it’s got some great recipes, although I do have dairy in stuff to it as well! I don’t really enjoy cooking, but want to eat healthily.
