Diets can be tricky not to mention really challenging. You have to take care of so many things. What to eat, what not to eat, when to eat, and what not. You have to buy certain ingredients while avoiding others.
One of those diets that everyone seems to be talking about lately is the ketogenic diet. If you do a little bit of research, you will find that this is one of the simplest, most effective and straightforward diets, but not necessarily easy.
In a nutshell, everything you eat while on a keto diet is low in carb and high in fat. That means you can no longer eat stuff like breads and pastas. Instead you switch to oils and cheeses.
You basically put a limit on processed grains and sugar so it helps in lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes. The fact that keto is rich in fat doesn’t give you the liberty to you eat anything your heart desires such as ice cream, etc. You have to be very selective to eat heart healthy fats like fish, oils, nuts, etc.
With that in mind, we have put together some of the best keto diet recipes you can make and try at home for a delicious meal.
Here they are –
Most people when on a keto diet tend to get into a cycle where they end-up eating lots of cheese and dairy products such as mayonnaise and sour cream in order to fulfil the daily dose of fat. Avocados are rich in fat so ‘Avocado devilled eggs’ is a good recipe that should give you all the required nutrients without you having to include any dairy products so that kind of breaks the pattern where you are only eating dairy products.
The best about thing about keto diet is that when you feel like you haven’t had a fair share of fat during the day, you can eat fat bombs to compensate for that deficit. Not only are these bombs delicious but healthy too. All you need is cream cheese, a little bit of sweetener, butter, cocoa powder, and you’re good to go.
Most people don’t associate keto diet recipes with breads. For them it’s mostly about dairy products, lot of fat, cheeses, and what not! Since this diet is low on carb, you won’t think about consuming a lot of bread. However, you can if you switch store-bought breads with a keto bread that is homemade. To make a keto bread you need cream of tartar, eggs, almond flour, baking soda, butter, apple cider vinegar, and just follow the regular bread-making process.
If you want to include some really quality fat in your diet, then you should definitely opt for grass-fed butter. This butter has amazing anti-inflammatory properties. It’s excellent for your heart’s health. It’s also rich in MCTs and aids immunity system. But, if you are looking for a way where you don’t have to eat a butter stick solo, then you can go for cinnamon bombs. All you need is vanilla extra, sweetener, cinnamon, and grass-fed butter and let it all cool down. This little treat will be a slice of heaven and a great source of the good fat. It should taste a little like frosting.
If you want to take a break from the same old mundane routine and try out something new for a change, something delectable and totally comfort food – then you don’t need to look any further than potato and gravy – the king of comfort food. Keto diet also has its own version of this food. This little recipe is made with cauliflower which happens to be low in carb compared to potatoes which are rich in it. Additionally, you need cream, butter, parmesan, and rosemary. This is an extremely delectable, creamy, flavourful and smooth recipe which will go nicely on a roast.
