Handy keto resources for the UK and beyond

Most of the resources you see on the internet about keto are usually US-centric. For the most part that is fine for us UK based people, the only confusing bit is around how carbs are calculated.

Us vs. UK nutritional label

In the US, the total carbs listed on the label includes dietary fibre. This means that they have to subtract the fibre from the total in order to get the actual net carbs. In contrast, the UK (and most other countries) list fibre under its own section, so the carb amount is the actual value.

Keto for a UK audience

Besides from the nutritional information, most of the other wealth of keto resources on the internet is country agnostic. However, there may be times where you would like to hear from like-minded countrymen on their keto journey.

Luckily, there are quite a few keto UK resources already out there, let’s take a closer look at some.

There are a few UK based Youtubers that upload videos about keto but only a very small amount that do it consistently. One of the best channels is Ginger’s Keto In The UK, check them out here.

For everything else keto-related that is not UK centric, there are so many websites that offer great advice and a wealth of resources. I’ve listed some of my favourite places to visit below (in no particular order).

Keto Recipes

Unsurprisingly, keto has a lot to do with food! Most of the common mainstream foods are not keto-friendly so you may (will) end up making your own. There are literally thousands of sites that offer low carb keto safe recipes.

Some of the best sites and blogs I’ve found are listed below.
