10 Keto Diet Foods Every Beginner MUST Eat...TWO That You Wouldn't Expect!

[@whutzat]

Keto SAVED MY LIFE. Literally. I was dying slowly from Diabetes and obesity-related conditions. I have lost 126 pounds so far....BUT my Diabetes went AWAY completely after less than two months! My doctors are doing backflips of joy over my blood work and test results every time I go in, and my neighbors and friends are continually astonished. I have gotten a few people on the bandwagon, or at LEAST low-carb. One lady has lost 48 pounds so far and her knee pain is gone!

There are a couple keto pizza hacks I know of. You can put shredded cheese on a good nonstick hot pan and add your toppings and roll it up. Learned it from Erin Does The Keto. Also, if you nonstick spray a disposable pizza pan, add the sauce, then throw a handful of Parmesan down you can add your mozzarella and everything else on top of it. The parm holds the sauce together.

One thing that helps me are meat wraps. Ideally it would be best to avoid deli meats, but I live in the real world of ME HUNGRY NOW.

@@mgreene300 personally 7 day fast is very extreme and quite possibly not good, however a 24hr or 48 hr food fast once or twice a month can be ok. always best to check with your healthcare provider first. Always drink plenty of water or herb tea as you need to keep well hydrated.dont do any heavy excersise while fasting a moderate walk is fine but take a drink with you. They do say cut the 3 meals a day to 2 meals a day eating all the days food within about a 4 to 6 hr window every day eg lunch at 1pm dinner at 6pm then no more food till 1pm the next day.

It's good to see that the keto trend is still going strong. I hope the world collectively will wake up and realize that refined carbs are causing all the health epidemics going on today. I never used to believe people who said they don't get colds or flu. I used to get sick several times a year, but I have gone about three years without any cold or flu since starting keto. My health is better than it has ever been, and I have also lost about 60 pounds. My core grocery items every month on keto are 1. eggs 2. cheese 3. ground beef 4. chicken breasts 5. peanut butter 6. pork rinds 7. coffee 8. cream 9. Sugar substitute 10. mixed nuts I spend about $250/mo. on keto. Not as much as you might think.

Fat bombs did the trick for me, and even though I'm now trying to wean myself off of them bc they still trigger a strong glycemic response, they kept me from quitting in the beginning. Somewhat unrelated, but also something I wish I'd been told as a woman beginning keto: you can eat all the right foods and stay in a calorie deficit and still gain 5 lbs before and/or during shark week. I gain about 3.5 lbs in 12 hours and lose it again in two days, and have learned that it's totally normal. If someone had told me this in the beginning, it would have saved me a lot of unnecessary stress and frustration. You're making a great decision to be healthier that will improve the rest of your life - don't give up!!

When I have a pizza craving I go one of two ways. 1. Non-stick skillet: mozzarella straight in the pan topped with pepperoni. Low heat until the cheese melts and browns. No sugar added marinara for dipping. 2. Keto Connect air fryer biscuits: I do half and half cheddar/ Mozzarella. Add Italian/pizza seasoning and mix mini pepperoni into the mix. This also cooks up super nice in my mini waffle maker that I use for chaffles.

We have such a long way to go around nutrition in this country. Just met a new group of people yesterday, and the subject of nutrition came up. Everyone thought animal products where the cause of much disease. Everyone. They thought veganism was the best way to go. Nobody mentioned grains/sugars/carbs as the culprit. So sad and frustrating. I think it's probably going to take decades for this to change. In the meantime, my peeps--let's just keto on. :-) PS Excuse my Debbie downer moment here.

Health is one thing, sustainability is another. A big problem with animal products is that the animals they come from are raised in a way that is so harmful to the environment. If there was more push toward pasture-raising and humane practices, sustainability would be much improved.

[@butterflyj685]

@@cheriwilliams8 I'm sorry about your sister. I also read articles on how certain cancers feed off of fat as well. No body really seems to be talking about that. On his youtube channel, Chris Beat Cancer, he had a guest that stated that it has been proven when you restrict one pathway for cancer to feed on, it finds another, whether it's sugar, protein or fat. That explains why those fasting clinics out in CA and around the world are so successful. They eliminate all foods. Make you take multivitamins, ensure your electrolytes stay up and monitor you closely with on staff medical care during your stay. Several people have reported being cancer free after 20 days or so. The cancer is completely starved and die. They urge people not to do it alone or at home without being in a facility like theres. Most likely insurance won't cover the stay or treatment and most people couldn't afford to pay for it on their own which is why they're not popular and used by the masses. Imagine if they were covered by insurance companies, and more people sought this type of care!

Dwight, here is a chef hint: put your organ meats (liver, kidney, heart, etc.) in a Ziploc bag with milk(gasp!- no worries, trust me), then marinate overnight or up to a day. When ready to cook: take meat out of bag, discard milk and bag, rinse meat with water thoroughly, then pat dry. Now cook as you will. The milk marinade is because the lactic acid draws out poisons and unhealthy chemicals that the organs normally process. This leaves you with nutrient dense delicious organ meat every time.

I made the mistake of subbing old favorites for new, fake ones when I started. Personally I think it's best to go balls to the wall, only eat things that are whole, beef, eggs, hard aged cheese, sardines, etc etc. Keeps it simple and easy. For me anyway, seemed to work.

Hat said ,you two are the cutest most honest most realistic but to the chase folks on keto oriented channels. The refreshingly lite product suggestions are well done and non biased. Anyway after 40 years of sluggish overweight foggy syndrome and medicines, I've lost 45 lbs in in 9 mos. And no more meds ,no hbp , no itchy rashes etc.You both are ate clear,fun and tight on!!!!thank you!!!

[@ladybelle6506]

I've done Keto for a really long time, but this last spring I got sick with a stomach virus that made me have to change my daily diet again. I still do Keto, but had to pretty much cut out all dairy. Before I would have some form of dairy with every meal. Heavy cream with my coffee, cheese on my eggs or chicken, cream cheese in a mug cake, and so forth. It's taken a bit, and discovering a lot more asian recipes, but even with added restrictions, keto is still very doable.

[@viji_island]

This is actually a good refresher for those veterans like me who have been doing keto for 5 years and are stuck or just need some reminders of what other foods I can eat. Because I have been eating the same thing most of the time.

[@daddywarbucks183]

You guys are brilliant, keto beginner videos at the start of the new year. I bet your subscribers go up 20% or more. Good luck and I’m a subscriber for life. Maybe make a series of videos that progress with the newbies. Ie, week 2 keto and so on. Much love

[@The2cookiez]

So butter is better than olive oil? Sweet 👌🏽

[@Martin-tx2cj]

Olive oil is very low fat usually, and you want more fat in your foods, not less, so yes enjoy those delicious buttery dishes.

[@KevinValentin]

Get Kerrygold Butter. Grass Fed. Much better.

[@pjohns171]

Whisps I would definitely add to the cheese section here. Easy to get and really great for topping salads and for parties where there will be chips. Best of luck to all the new people on keto! Super easy and delicious when you find your new favorites. I also highly recommend the keto connect cookbooks. Amazing tasting recipes and easy to follow/easy to find products!

[@madisonparker6549]

After over a year on Keto, my list is: Eggs Butter/ animal fats (bacon grease, tallow, fat, etc) Bacon Cheese Red meats Heavy cream (I add to tea or coffee) Nuts Vegetables (though there’s no reason to “eat your veggies” other than flavor!) Avocado Dessert replacement (I like Lily’s chocolate or Rebel/ Enlightened ice cream on special occasions)

[@kayz1972]

Madison Parker I’m with you, but I would move avacado up the list - I probably eat 1 a day! Also, I just realized you left out pork rinds, I could not get through the day without the crunch. Actually, I would choose pork rinds over dessert - but I really love Rebel butter pecan!

Hi, Matt and Megha. I have been on Keto exactly 8 days (!), but when I go into something, I am all in. I figure you can’t go wrong with 🥚 eggs, 🧀 cheese, 🥓 bacon, ghee, zero carb jerky, mug 🧁 cakes, fat bombs, whisps, egg bites, tortillas made of mozzarella cheese, berries, 🥜 nuts (but have to start portioning them out). Keep up the great work. Miley is back? Yeah! Theo is sure a cutie!

Yes, mug cakes! 🙌 I failed at keto before because I stupidly thought I could just cut sweets out. And a basic mug cake is so versatile and tweakable- I've even explored savory options. 10/10

I just bought this awesome recipe book at Walmart for the Instant Pot my daughter (thank you honey!) got me for Christmas. Called The “I Love My Instant Pot” Keto Diet recipe book. Only cost 13.58 and worth every penny. The advice of how to use the Instant Pot for someone unfamiliar is great, the recipes look awesome and yes, haven’t had a chance to cook as we just moved this past month, but I can’t wait! Planning on trying it tomorrow! Apparently Sam Dillard of HeyKetoMama.com involved with recipes.

When you're new to keto you'll hear people saying, "Oh I don't know how people can do that because you can't have this you can't have that," which is very discouraging. Don't listen to them; instead, focus on those keto foods that you DO like, therefore CAN have.

I would add Skinny Pasta konjac noodles. This is the only brand of this type of noodle that I can eat. I make an easy Pho with it that is good (Keto friendly meatballs, Skinny Pasta, bok choy, scallions, chicken broth, ginger, garlic, salt, pepper and a side of bean sprouts), I also put Rao's pasta sauce on it for an easy spaghetti meal. The other thing I would suggest is to try Megha's Eggroll in a Bowl. It's a staple in our house - we eat at least once a week.

For me Rebel ice cream or dark chocolate for when I want something sweet.

Yes. Rebel ice cream is the best, without all the guilt.

Add 2 tablespoons of confectioners swerve, your favorite flavor (cocoa powder, any kind of extract, etc), and 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum. Put the lid on, shake it up real well and put it in the freezer. The best I ever made was maple bacon with real bacon, maple extract and a little sugar/low carb free pancake syrup.

[@wingnutbert9685]

@@bobstanton713: Thanks Bob. Sounds like an easy way to go. Store bought is just a convenience item when I'm out or don't have time. I have a Cuisinart ice cream maker, and it makes great ice cream. I add a few splashes of vodka to keep it from going rock hard in the freezer. Still playing with the ratio of vodka to xanthan gum to get that perfect "real" ice cream consistency. But it's quite a production, with the cooking and egg tempering, etc., for really not a lot of ice cream and only one flavour at a time. I'll give your method a go though. Nice to do a bunch of different flavours. I'm a big coffee flavour fan. Thanks for the recipe! Maple/bacon sounds good to this Canadian! :)
