Take your Ketogenic Diet seriously with these delicious Keto Recipes that will keep your pallet happy and your macros in line from April Golightly.
There are tons of success stories online about people who lost weight on Keto or after “going Keto.” My husband and I have found health and success with Keto. Before you start Keto, you should talk to your Doctor before starting any new diet and eating plan. We are not Physicians and cannot speak to what is best for your body.
The Keto diet is named after Ketosis. So what is ketosis? According to WebMD, Ketosis is “When it doesn’t have enough carbohydrates from food for your cells to burn for energy, it burns fat instead. As part of this process, it makes ketones.”
Your liver turns fat into ketones (a type of acid) and sends them into your bloodstream. That is where muscles and other tissues use them for fuel. I learned a lot about the Keto Diet and started cooking these Keto Recipes from this book, “Why We Get Fat, And What to Do About It.”
Ketosis usually kicks in about 3 or 4 days after eating less than 50 grams of carbohydrates.

My family and I wrote a list of all the food we are going to make for Thanksgiving and realized that no one wanted to eat or make a Turkey this year. We have been slowing phasing Turkey and Ham out of our holiday meals. It is official, this Thanksgiving we are going to have Beefsgiving instead! My Father-In-Law made an amazing roast last year and I am recreating the magic in the Instant Pot with this Instant Pot Beef Roast Recipe.
Over the past 10 years, I have been making cheesy kale chips trying different variations of spices and consistency of cheese. This is by far my favorite way to eat parmesan kale chips. I prefer making kale chips to buying them in the bag because they taste best when they are fresh. The ones in the bags have preservatives and way too much stuff on them. I like a light sprinkling of cheese, olive oil spray, and spices to get crispy kale chips.
