Nessa Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Hey everyone. Anyone know any restaurants or stores that have keto options on their menu, especially baked goods (deserts, bread). I have asked at a few "pastelerías" but they looked at me like I had three heads and just got off a spaceship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 I would, too, as I have no idea what "keto" means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Here is what Bing said. Trouble is I am still confused "Ketosis is a metabolic state characterized by elevated levels of ketone bodies in the blood or urine. Physiologic ketosis is a normal response to low glucose availability, such as low-carbohydrate diets or fasting, that provides an additional energy source for the brain in the form of ketones. In physiologic ketosis, ketones in the blood are elevated above baseline levels,......" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessa Posted December 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Keto diet is low in carbohydrates and high in fat and protein. I have some health issues and I can't eat sugar or carbohydrates in general. Usually they use almond flour instead of regular flour for baked goods and stevia plant and monk fruit as a natural sweetener that doesn't contain regular sugar. There's lot of restaurants in Guadalajara and big cities that offer those options but I was surprised there was none here despite so many restaurants per capita.

RVGRINGO Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 I, and probably many others, thank you for using the whole word. The use of abbreviations and acronyms is not recommended, especially in another country or culture, as you can imagine. They just make no sense to many. For example: I once served as an LMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 I believe Zaineb Barstead at the Tuesday market is cooking some foods for a KETO diet. Her contact information is zainebbarstead (at) yahoo.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 I have seen couliflower rice at Superlake and once at Walmart. México is the land of meat. Just don't eat the tortillas. They do sell the low carb green cactus tostadas at Gourmet Garage. When we were doing keto we bought a lot of those and ate a lot of cheap avocados. Meat, eggs, bacon is cheap and plentiful around here. We even ordered monk fruit off Amazon. Not cheap but worth it. We also ate lots if greens like kale, swiss chard and spinach. Which are all very easy to grow in your back yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no issues with the homemade food but I am really craving a desert and I suck at baking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 Online both Amazon Mexico and Walmart Mexico (to a lesser extent) have Keto items in stock, including snacks, brownie and cake mixes, dry pastas, pancake mixes, even tortillas! Don't know what they have in-store but may be worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
