2021 Keto Kickstart?

[lulu_ma]

After doing well for almost a year, my eating has gone a bit off the rails since my BIL was diagnosed with cancer again. I just restarted Keto 2 days ago and have a few recipes/ foods that I love to share. I would also love to get more recommendations. Does anyone want to join? I know that there have been prior Keto threads, but I haven't seen one for 2021 so I figured I would start a new one...

Here's what I am currently drinking to satisfy my sweet tooth-whipped Nutpods with Lakanto monkfruit sugar and pumpkin spice. O carbs

I’m not full-keto, but I do eat a general low carb lifestyle and I have some “interesting” recipes to share if you’d like some substitutes for Indian food

 

[lulu_ma]

Let’s do it! I only have 3-4 go to recipes that I love and I would definitely like more. Plus, I love Indian food...

 

[AllAboardTheBlingTrain]

I’m going to link a blog or two here that I think really have some good recipes!

- one of my fav indian dishes (chole bhature, ketofied) - http://magicinmyfood.blogspot.com/2018/07/keto-chole-bhatureveg-eggless.html?m=1. Chole is basically chickpeas. This recipe uses radish as a sub but a better sub is actually black soybeans (I buy them dried, cook them with salt in a pressure cooker and once cooked use them in place of the radish in this recipe).

- popular regional snack/breakfast called dhokla. Usually made with gram flour, but this recipe uses paneer and psyllium husk. https://magicinmyfood.blogspot.com/2018/07/keto-dhokla-veg-eggless.html?m=1

- one of my fav snacks, chilli chicken. It’s a indo-chinese dish. Super simple. https://headbangerskitchen.com/recipe/keto-chilli-chicken/

- and for dessert, my fav indian sweet dish, Rasmalai! https://www.ketoforindia.com/keto-rasmalai-india/

All these blogs also have excellent other recipes!

Oh wow, that is great! I am still thinking to do the Keto diet since I really have to lose weight. Do you have a recipe for that delicious drink?

@AllAboardTheBlingTrain thanks for all these recipes! Can't wait to try them!

@Aerielle Max I will link the ingredients below

Nutpods tastes great. I buy mine from Whole Foods or Amazon. I especially like Nutpods because I can froth it in my milk steamer.

I love this monkfruit sweetener. I use it like regular granulated sugar. I doesn't have a yucky aftertaste like Stevia. If you are US based, you can often find the Lakanto brand in the food section of TJ Maxx, Homegoods or Marshalls.

I just sprinkled Pumpkin Spice on the top of this confection.

I hope you give Keto a try!

This is my go to Keto ice cream recipe. Last night I made this with Green Tea powder instead of pumpkin puree. You can also substitute the heavy cream for coconut milk, but coconut milk has slightly more carbs.

Omg I love keto!! I was on it so good at the start of my pregnancy. It helped curb my headaches etc. Then family visited and I went all out. Then my blood sugars were low. There are actually so many keto things you could make. I made a keto chicken congee lol. I've been meaning to make these keto ginger biscuits too. I should get back onto it. That drink looks delicious @lulu_ma

First time to try a Keto diet - having Quinoa, omnipork luncheon (plant-based), and kale chips.
I did not that it feels good to have keto meals. it is very light.

I like it. I think I will go with these keto meals.

Glad to hear it! I got a bit detailed. I have to get back on track. I do feel good when I’m eating Keto.

I have not tried Quinoa but I already heard of it from a chef who is into weight loss. Is it true that Quinoa is good for weight loss?

Yes, Quinoa is high in protein and fiber. This is a better option rather than eating brown rice. It will also help you boost your metabolism.

Thank you! I am thinking to have it too.

@lulu_ma I will try your recipes too - they are really tempting
