keto-diet-beginners_What-is-the-keto-diet-752x401.jpg

Hi Everyone!! First and foremost thank you all for the amount of support I received last week!! So many of you emailed and submitted DM’s and forms! Thank you!! The main question circulated around what I eat. What’s the meal prep day like and if I ever cheat on keto. The truth is when I did Keto for the strict two months, from October 7th to about Dec 24th, I didn’t cheat. It was hard, hard as hell!!! From reading Keto blogs, and articles I realized if you cheat all the hard work from prior kind of goes away. That’s why I decided to commit to it fully those days, and I am happy I did. 34 pounds lighter happy. 

So what did I eat on Keto? Did I get bored? Uhh yess. Alot of times. Sometimes I look at veggies and I rather eat plain grass ( laughing emoji ) Jokes aside, I ate fairly well!! Sunday’s I meal prep, I still do. Though these days I’m not 100% keto, I’m very low carb. 

Sundays I go food shopping, generally Aldi’s. They are cheap, good quality and super close to my house. My grocery list is the below: 

  • Turkey Ground Meat 

  • Chicken Breast

  • Salmon 

  • Fish 

  • Shrimp 

  • Tri Color Peppers (A lot) 

  • Red Onions 

  • Cheddar Cheese 

  • Mozzarella Cheese 

  • Ghee Butter 

  • Olive Oil

  • Almond Milk 

  • Almond Flour 

  • Mushrooms 

  • Spinach 

  • Green Mix 

  • Eggs ( A LOT OF EGGS) 

  • Garlic Powder ( I use this alot, therefore I replace it every 2 weeks or so) 

  • Turkey 

  • Salami 

  • Pastrami 

  • Strawberries 

  • Blueberries 

  • Sour Cream 

  • Cauliflower 

  • Broccoli 

  • Brussel Sprouts 

  • Water ( mucha agua! ) 

  • Parmesan Cheese 

  • Cauliflower Pizza (Veggies and Cheese) 

  • Tomatoes 

  • Green Beans 

  • Eggplants 

  • Bacon

More or less the above list is what I would relay on weekly. My breakfast, lunch and dinner  meals would consist of the following options. 

Breakfast: 

  • Scrambled eggs with a lot of cheese. & avocado on the side 

  • 2 Hard Boiled eggs and avocado 

  • On the weekends: Baconnegggandcheese on almond flour bread* ( recipe below)

  • Omelette: Cheese, Spinach, Onions, Peppers & everything else i’d find  

Lunch:  (All lunches with half an avocado) 

  • Turkey Ground Meat with A mix of veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, peppers and onions) 

  • Grilled Chicken with A mix of veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, peppers and onions) 

  • Turkey Meat Meatballs with Green beans and peppers 

  • Eggplant parmesan with a mix of veggies 

  • Taco Bowl: Lettuce, ground turkey, cheddar cheese, sour cream, tomatoes & onions

Dinner: 

  • Salmon with green beans & peppers and onions 

  • Shrimp with bacon and veggies 

  • Taco Salads: Lettuce, ground turkey, cheddar cheese, sour cream, tomatoes & onions

  • Lettuce Burgers with onions, cheese and no sugar added ketchup. ( I make these at home) 

  • Meatballs in marinara sauce with homemade cheesy breadsticks

  • Chicken and green beans 

Microwave Almond Bread Recipe:

1/4 cup of almond flour

1 egg

1/4 tsp baking powder

salt and pepper to taste

1/4 tsp parmesan cheese

Instructions:

In a microwavable mug mix the almond flour, baking powder, salt and pepper and parmesan cheese. Mix until all seems one. Add Egg. Mix until substance is thick. Pop in microwave for 90 seconds. Let rest. Cut in half, pop in toaster for a bit of color! Enjoyyyyyyy

These are just some of the meals I’ve enjoyed during my keto journey. They’re boring, but tasty. The most important thing I’ve learned is that food is for fuel. Doesn’t always have to taste amazing. On keto you need to intake a high portion of fats, I watch mine very closely. I use Olive Oil & Ghee for cooking. I try to incorporate bacon in most of my breakfast options and sometimes in dinner. I eat one full avocado daily & lots of cheese!!!!! 

I hope this helps. I am not a keto expert at all. But figured i’d share :)
