    I have seen a number of Keto friendly vegetarian recipes that refer to cauliflower rice. It is easily available in India and not hard to make. Is there any specific reason you have omitted it, as well as cabbage, entirely from your list of approved vegetables?

      Hi Shobhna ,

      well yes you can include cauli rice in your keto plan , I havent mentioned it , as many of the readers who are suffering with thyroid issues also follow the diet plans , and it becomes hard to guide every one seperately .. and then 1 thing suits somebody and doesnt suit some one , they end up complaining here , on social media about all this .. so when someone take a personal diet from me , i give them a lot of variety based on their health conditions. and hence i havent mention a lot of items here in sample menu which may be contra indicated in some cases. Thi diet plan is general and is open to all.
