Soy Sauce

[G-man02]

Hello, I'm on day one and have finished my second soup but find myself struggling with the taste. I would love to be able to add soy sauce to these soups to give them a bit of flavour but worried about how this will affect getting into ketosis.

Are there any soy sauces available that are allowed in the Exante diet?

Thanks

If you add soy sauce I would suggest you look for a gluten free one. Soy sauce contains carbs - but a gluten free one is typically 5g of carbs less per 100ml than a light soy - so its impact will be less on ketosis, though that does depend on where your carb tolerance is. For some the 60g prescribed by exante products is too much even, where as others can cope with carbs a bit higher - so the only way to see is to do it and check for ketosis or slower weight loss.

Thanks for the advice. My son has celiac so I'm used to shopping for gluten free food, I have managed a lot better with the soups, I think the problem was with how I was making them.
