Keto Simple Swaps

Keto Simple Swaps

As adults we know when we have to surrender something in order to change our path whether it’s TV time for gym time, or a cocktail for water.  It’s difficult but we know what needs to be done in order to achieve a particular goal. The same goes for when we change our style of eating to obtain optimal health, and weight loss.

One of the things that makes it easier is results! Eating a ketogenic diet can offer results right away and that makes sticking to it just a little easier.

Here are some simple, tasty swaps that can make your transition a little smoother!

I don’t recommend “keto bread” while in the losing phase but there are things you can do to make eating some of your favorite foods delicious and easy!

Bread/buns/wraps: Instead of the basic buns, and bread you can use lettuce wraps, mushroom caps. Think of making little beef sliders with sauteed mushrooms as the bun.

Chips, Crisps, crackers: Forget the bland old crackers. Keto versions are so much yummier!!!  Cucumber slices, pepperoni, and salami chips, cheese whisps and crisps, pork rinds, bacon pieces, celery. Visit www.eatcraveketo for the easiest, yummiest cheese cracker recipe in the world. 2 ingredients!! TWO!

Got Milk? NOPE! Unsweetened coconut or almond milk. Heavy whipping cream.

Bread Crumbs: Crushed pork rinds, and parmesan cheese, with seasoning of your choice.

Sugar: Erythritol, or stevia. I personally use swerve. You can get it here.

Pasta: Spaghetti squash. I buy a bunch of these when it is on sale because it can get pretty pricey in the fall/winter. I cook it up and freeze it in one cup portions. Zoodles Don’t have a spiralizer? You can get it here. Cauliflower, zucchini planks for lasagna!

Flour: Blanched almond flour,  coconut flour, flaxseed meal, psyllium husk, unflavored protein powder.

Potatoes: Cauliflower mash for mashed potatoes. Radishes for roasted potatoes (trust me on this).

While some of these swaps might not be exactly like what you’ve been used to all these years they are a wonderful vehicle to get your favorite flavors into your mouth!

I broke the dieting habit

No more years of yo-yo dieting.  That life is long gone.

A year ago I FINALLY broke the ‘dieting’ habit for the very first time in THIRTY years by adopting the Ketogenic way or eating!!! Since then I have become a certified ketogenic lifestyle coach!!

Why did I feel called to do that? Because when something as seemingly small as food, impacts your life on every level you KNOW you must share it with others.  

A little bit about me.... The first "diet" I ever went on was when I was 11 years old.  I thought I was gaining weight (turns out it was puberty) so I tried a Richard Simmons "Deal a Meal." This early introduction to diets triggered an unhealthy way of treating body changes by trying to control food.  My favorite times in my life were when I was pregnant because I didn't have to diet.  And boy oh boy, I ate for two! I gained plenty of baby weight.  To lose the weight afterward I would do Atkins, then Weight Watchers and anything else popular.  I've consistently been up and down the scale for what seems like the last 30 years.  That all changed with keto.

I'm so happy to celebrate my one year of ketogenic living!  I've seen so many positive changes.  My children, husband and clients are all experiencing positive results.

I'd love to have you with me too,

xoxo
