Hi everyone,

A few days ago we announced Custom Diet Plans — a highly requested feature — which are now available not just on iOS devices but also on Android devices.

We have another big update, this time for iOS. We've been busy working on a new user interface (UI) in order to make navigating our app easier. Most of the changes are focused on iPhone but several of them also apply to iPad.

The new update has been released and will be available to download in the next 24 hours. Once available, you can make sure that you have the latest version by opening this link on your device.

What Changed in KetoDiet?

Our goal is to improve navigation and enhance the user experience. In this update we made two significant improvements:

  • Menu is now located in the bottom section of the app, making it look like a more familiar tab-based application.
  • Related sections in the app are grouped into categories.

The goal of these changes is to make it easier to perform common tasks, and easier to jump between different sections in the app. For example, barcode scanning is now instant, and searching for foods to be added to your day is only a tap away.

A Big Thank You to our BETA Testers

For the last few months we have been developing and testing the new UI driven by the feedback provided by our BETA testers. We always want to make sure that every update goes as smoothly as possible.

If you have any feedback on the new version of the app, you can contact us directly either via the app under Settings > Help & Support, or by posting to our Facebook Support Group.

Why is Improving the UI so Important?

KetoDiet is a complex app with a multitude of features — and many more to be added in future releases. Improving the UI at this stage is a crucial part of the development process.

It enables us to add new features in a way that is consistent and intuitive without adding unnecessary complexities to the user interface. This is without any doubt the most difficult part of the development process.

What Else is New for KetoDiet on iOS?

Apart from the new UI, we added a few more features and made improvements in the following sections of our app:

  • All scanned ingredients are now automatically listed under Ingredients > Scanned and can be easily found when searching for them.
  • Account and Data Sync pages have now been merged into a single Account & Sync page. We have also added easy access to account admin sections such as changing password, email or deleting user account. (See screenshot below)

  • Users can now select preferred units for individual data items rather than having a single universal measurement system. For example, users can have their weight displayed in kilograms and their height in feet.
  • Ounces (oz) are no longer listed under "common weights" but have their own dedicated keyboard section for more flexible editing. (See screenshot below)
  • Much improved data entry with overview charts. (See screenshot below)

What's Next for the KetoDiet App?

  • Upcoming Android update: feature parity with iOS for Custom Diet Plans See this post for more information.
  • Upcoming iOS & Android update: ability to reorder whole days within a diet plan. This will make it more practical if, for example, you need to use ingredients for a certain meal on Monday instead of Thursday.
  • Support for tracking sugar alcohols. Our priority has always been accuracy and that is why this feature will be different from any other app you may have used before.
  • Custom measurements when creating custom meals. Apart from grams and ounces, you will be able to enter nutrition facts for any serving size (slices, cups, etc.)
  • Community feature on both iOS and Android that will enable users to share meals, discuss topics and join challenges. This is a huge feature and it will take some time to implement.
  • ... and many more so stay tuned!

The list is endless and driven by your feedback! Please, keep in mind that adding new features takes time and we are always going to be adding features based on their priority in the list :-)

New User Experience for KetoDiet iPhone Users

Authentic German Pork Frikadellen, or Frikadeller as they're called in Denmark, are simple meat patties that are fried in a pan, just like small hamburgers.

These Frikadellen patties are made with two types of meat and are flavored with caramelized onion, mustard, herbs and spices. We are keeping these meat patties nut-free and coconut-free so won't need any almond flour or coconut flour to replace the bread crumbs. Instead you'll need ground pork rinds which work well as an alternative to bread crumbs.

Frikadellen are so versatile! They can be served with any vegetable sides for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They are easy to make in just a few minutes and are ideal for meal prep, batch cooking and freezing.

Which Sides to Serve with Frikadellen?

Pork Frikadellen are best served with some braised cabbage, simple slaw or a side of dressed greens. These are some of the best low-carb options to serve with Frikadellen:

All of us have different dietary needs so it's natural that you may need to adjust the macros in this recipe. You can make any adjustments, such as adding different sides or changing the serving size, directly in the KetoDiet App by cloning any of the recipes from my blog and customizing them to fit your macros and preferences.

Low-Carb Tiramisu - Just Like the Real Deal!

A zingy twist on a classic German-style potato salad but made with turnips instead of starchy potatoes. This is an easy low-carb side dish to serve with any proteins including roast chicken, steak, pork chops or baked salmon.

The dressing is made with lemon juice, vinegar, lemon zest, low-carb sweetener (I like Allulose) and wholegrain mustard for a sweet yet tangy flavor! If you want to add some heat, use 1 tablespoons of Dijon mustard instead of the wholegrain mustard.

The wholegrain mustard, lemon juice and vinegar make it quite sharp and zingy so if you prefer the dressing less sour, skip the vinegar or use less lemon juice.

If you're not a fan of turnips, you can try other options such as chopped cauliflower, kohlrabi or rutabaga (swede). Just remember that you will need to adjust the baking time as each one of these options will require different baking time to cook through.

Preparation time

Hands-on:     10 minutes
Overall:      40 minutes

Nutritional values (per serving, about 170 g/ 6 oz)

Total Carbs 10.3 grams
Fiber 3 grams
Net Carbs 7.3 grams
Protein 2 grams
Fat 5.4 grams
of which Saturated 0.7 grams
Energy 93 kcal
Magnesium 21 mg (5% RDA)
Potassium 340 mg (17% EMR)

Macronutrient ratio: Calories from carbs (34%), protein (9%), fat (57%)

Ingredients (makes 6 servings)

  • 6 to 8 turnips, diced (700 g/ 1.5 lbs)
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (90 ml/ 3 fl oz)
  • sea salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 medium celery stalks, sliced (160 g/ 5.6 oz)
  • 1 small red onion, sliced (60 g/ 2.1 oz)
  • 2 tbsp freshly chopped dill
  • 2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (30 ml)
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or more lemon juice (15 ml)
  • 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard (36 g/ 1.3 oz)
  • 1 tbsp Allulose or Erythritol (10 g/ 0.4 oz)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C/ 400 °F (fan assisted), or 220 °C/ 425 °F (conventional). Dice the turnips into about 2 cm (3/4 inch) pieces.
  2. Place in a baking tray. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of the olive oil and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cover with a piece of aluminum foil.
  3. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until crisp tender (turnips take longer to cook through, especially larger pieces). Uncover and bake for another 5 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, slice the celery and onion. Chop the herbs. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining olive oil with lemon juice, lemon zest, vinegar, mustard and sweetener (Allulose or Erythritol).
  5. To assemble the salad, place the celery, onion and dressing into a bowl with the baked turnips. Toss to combine and season more is needed. To store, refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat before serving or eat cold.

Low-Carb Lamb Keema

This low-carb roasted rhubarb is a super simple treat you can make to serve alongside whipped cream, sour cream, creme fraiche or even a scoop of this Vanilla Keto Ice Cream!

Although we're using forced rhubarb, you can use field-grown rhubarb too. The pretty pink color is the result of growing the rhubarb in warm sheds with no natural light. Apart from the color, forced rhubarb is not that different from field-grown rhubarb although it tends to be sweeter, more delicate and more tender.

Forced rhubarb, which is pink, is in season between January and March, and field-grown rhubarb, which is red and green, is then available from April and until September, sometimes even longer.

What we love about this tangy fruit is that it's ultra low in carbs. In fact, rhubarb contains less carbs than berries! Just bake it until tender, with some ginger, vanilla and low-carb sweetener. Absolutely delicious!

Preparation time

Hands-on:     5 minutes
Overall:     20 minutes

Nutritional values (per serving, about 6 pieces)

Total Carbs 6.1 grams
Fiber 2.1 grams
Net Carbs 4 grams
Protein 1.1 grams
Fat 0.2 grams
of which Saturated 0.1 grams
Energy 29 kcal
Magnesium 14 mg (4% RDA)
Potassium 341 mg (17% EMR)

Macronutrient ratio: Calories from carbs (71%), protein (19%), fat (10%)

Ingredients (makes 6 servings)

  • 700 g rhubarb, forced for pink or field-grown (1.5 lbs)
  • 1/3 cup granulated Allulose (67 g/ 2.4 oz)
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 1 whole vanilla pod or 1/2 tsp vanilla bean powder
  • Optional to serve: whipped cream, sour cream, creme fraiche, yogurt or coconut yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C/ 355 °F (fan assisted), or 200 °C/ 400 °F (conventional). Cut the rhubarb into finger-sized pieces. Using a sharp knife, cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape the tiny seeds out.
  2. Place in a baking tray and add the grated ginger, vanilla seeds and vanilla pod. Evenly sprinkle with Allulose.
    Note: You can use other sweeteners such as Erythritol or Swerve. allulose is the best option as it will make the sauce more syrupy without any aftertaste.
  3. Cover with a foil, place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, shake to combine and cover in the syrup. Remove the foil and return into the oven to bake for another 5 to 8 minutes. the rhubarb should feel tender, not mushy, and it should still keep its shape.
  4. Place the rhubarb on a plate with a tablespoon of syrup drizzled on top. Serve hot or cold with whipped cream, sour cream, creme fraiche, yogurt, coconut yogurt or some keto ice cream. To store, let it cool down, transfer to a smaller container, seal and refrigerate for up to a week.
