Well, I've been doing the Keto lifestyle now for about 5 years. I was Keto before keto was cool.😋 I just couldn't be happier with it now! Not going back!
For an explanation of what Keto is look here or here .
What do I eat??
Breakfast: usually plain greek yogurt (Fage brand with the highest fat). I add raw sunflower seeds, or chia seeds, or flax seeds and a little stevia and always coffee with heavy cream!
On the weekends I'll eat bacon and eggs, or make cream cheese pancakes! (Just one thing of cream cheese and 6-7 eggs in the food processor, add a little cinnamon, stevia and vanilla. Cook them just like pancakes and add loads of real butter and some almond butter!)
Lunch: I make all my lunches for the workweek on Sunday. It varies greatly. I've made chicken breasts with cheese and bacon, 2 hamburger patties with cheese and bacon, pork chops with cauliflower rice. It's always a meat, a veggie and then maybe some berries and nuts for dessert. (I don't always pack dessert)
Dinner: Really any meats and veggies. Stay away from starchy veggies. I like broccoli, asparagus, salads, spinach, zucchini
Eat out options: When going to a Mexican restaurant, I take pork rinds so I can eat chips and guac with everyone. Watch the sauces-they usually contain sugar. Instead of rice or beans, just ask for extra veggies or a side salad. Go for fajitas! and ask for extra sour cream!
Other restaurants, look for the non battered meat options and veggies or salad. Watch out for soups, they contain a thickener usually. Don't be afraid to ask your server for a change or substitution.
We went to some friends house the other night and they were serving lasagna, salad and bread! So I just casually ate a lot of salad (no croutons) and the meat and cheese out of the lasagna. When the ice cream was served for dessert, I didn't make a big deal of it and just kept talking with everyone. Nobody said anything and it was completely fine. I just ate a few almonds when I got back home and I was good to go!
Reasons I love Keto!! - I have more energy, I'm never hungry, I feel like I can think clearer, my joints don't ache, my nightly heartburn is gone!, and I've lost about 25 pounds!
So anyone tried Keto? What do you eat? How do you feel?
