I came across your website. I would like to become a member but I have a question regarding the diet. Do you have the KETO program for vegetarians as well?
Yes we have for vegetarians (but not for vegans). :)
I subbed arugula for the broccoli. Amazing with goat cheese.
We don't count the fiber, that's what we mean with net carbs.
I think the controversy could be if you start trying to deduct other stuff from the carb count. When selling highly processed it happens that "creative" ways are used make the ingredients look better then they are...
What kind of cheese should this be? I don't see that anywhere.
Thank you in advance.
I would recommend using a dish that can't leak such as a stoneware pie dish- the pastry comes out easily. I cooked until brown all over the top and it tastes amazing.
Broke up the goats cheese and mixed it in instead which works well.
The recipe specifies 7oz spinach. This would be by weight, pre-cooking.
totally agree, I was on here trying to find honest reviews of this dish and most reviews are complaining about there intolerances to certain ingredient's within the dish.
