Another Week of Keto Eating

So I have now been on Keto for a full two months! WOW! I can not believe I have been able and stick with it this long. I am down 30 pounds and I feel great! The main reason I have been able to stick with keto is because of how easy it is. I still eat food I love and feel great! My goal is to loose another 20 pounds by the first of the year and their is no doubt in my mind that I can accomplish this. I have begun doing intermit fasting. Therefore I typically only eat one meal a day. You do not have to do this, for me it works with my schedule. However, if I am hungry I eat! I hope these simple and affordable meals help you on your keto journey!




Dinners

  • Roast!! UH yummm, we popped this in the crockpot with beef broth and it was SO good. I put a little sour cream on mine and served it with green bean casserole. 
  • Chicken Soup. It was cold and I had a soar throat so I whipped up my faviorte soup! It is so easy to make. Just chicken broth, cream of chicken, salsa Verde, shredded chicken, and cheese.
  • Breakfast! This is such an easy meal. We have been cooking up eggs and sausage throwing on some cheese and then stuffing it in a low carb tortilla! 
  • Chicken and loaded broccoli. This is one of those days when I had no idea what to make. I cooked up some chicken and broccoli and just threw cheese and bacon on all of it! It turned out awesome. 
  • Chicken Salad. Even though this is so simple its probably one of my favorite meals. Throw some French onions on it, cheese, and whatever else!
  • Steak! We don't eat steak a lot because of the price, but we save it for days we are feeling uninspired with keto. It is always good and makes your feel like you are not on a diet. I had mine with some asparagus and it was so good.
  • Burgers! I love no-bun burgers. I throw some extra cheese on mine and it is just as good as having it with a bun! We served these with a side salad
Everything Else
  • So one thing I found this week that I am OBSSESED with are enlightened ice cream bars they are SO good and keto friendly! They did not taste low carb, or dietish at all!
  • I had a couple side salads for in between meals!
  • As always I had my diet pop and drank a bunch of water!
I am by no means a keto expert or even a super strict keto follower. I do not count my macros. I am just mindful of what I eat and its carb count. This diet has done wonders for me and has been super easy to manage and maintain. I would love to help you if you have any questions about keto and my journey on it!

What I Eat in a Week on Keto

Image
Starting keto can be overwhelming. It was a total reboot of how and what I eat. I will be honest, at first it was challenging, I was hungry and carving all the sugars and carbs. Just push through. Another challenging part of keto was coming up with meals and snacks that not only were delicious but also easy. I am going to show you what I eat in a typical week, on keto you do try to space your meals out. I typically try to not eat for a 12 hour period, so I really do not eat breakfast and try to keep snacking to a minimum. The good thing about keto, is that you stay full longer so not eating as many times a day is not that difficult. If I do eat breakfast it is typically just a couple eggs and bacon or sausage. Dinners  White chicken soup, this dish is SO good and super easy. Chicken, salsa Verde, butter, chicken broth, heavy cream, and cheese! Its that simple! I throw a couple low carb tortillas in the oven and throw them on top for some crunch! No noodle spaghetti, hits the cr

My Keto Grocery List

        I have been on keto for a little over a month and am LOVING it! I have lost twenty pounds and feel great. If you want some tips on starting keto please check out my blog How I Have Lost 20 Pounds In a Month on Keto. Ever since starting keto I have started cooking and eating at home a lot. I know that for me that was a huge change and it was really hard to know what to buy and cook. For that reason I have decided to share with you all what I buy from the grocery store while on keto. I typically go to Trader Joes once a week and do a big grocery haul from Winco/Walmart once a month. I also buy a few things off Amazon, my link to those are in the top left of my blog. This list is what I use to cook for both my boyfriend and I.  Here is what I buy: TRADER JOES : Frozen Berry Blend & Frozen Strawberries (great for smoothies) $3.49 / $1.99 Parsnip Chips (Very low carb & great sub for chips) $2.99 2 bags of Lettuce ( TJs has the best lettuce ) $1.99 each Organic

How I have Lost Twenty Pounds On Keto

Right after my birthday I decided to start a new diet, KETO! I have done diets in the past, and nothing worked. Counting calories just didn't work for me, it was boring food, I was hungry, and it was not fun. Well, I love KETO! I do what they call lazy keto and eat between 20 - 40 carbs a day. You may be thinking what do carbs matter? Well you see that was my problem too. I did not realize how bad carbs were for me until I stopped eating them and saw the results. I have been eating food I love and have lost 20 pounds in a little over a month. On keto you eat LOW carbs, MODERATE protein, and HIGH fat. Keto is all about limited carbs. These are sugars, breads, pasta, potatoes, most processed foods, and more. It is also important to look at the net carbs of a product, this is the carb count subtracted by the fiber. Carbs do fuel our body, but for most of us we already have excess fuel and should be burning that rather then adding more carbs. Also, are bodies run better on fat are
