Here's a reminder....
Keto Tips:
No fruit, unless itβs berries in moderation...
No wheat
No sugar
No grains
No pasta
No potatoes
No rice
No beans
No starches
No milk as itβs loaded with sugar. ( unsweetened almond milk is recommended.)
HWC (Heavy whipping cream) is good in coffee or whatever you would like to use it for.
Meat, cheese, eggs, vegetable, nuts, and healthy fats. Itβs simple. Stick to that, and you should be ok!
Vegetables that should be avoided are...
Sweet potatoes
Corn
Peas
Potatoes
Carrots - can be used in moderation, just donβt go over board. They are full of starches and not recommended.
Make sure to drink half your body weight In oz of water as well if you arenβt getting the adequate amount of water it can be bad for your kidneys! This applies for all forms of keto.
Do not forget your electrolytes, they are needed daily.
A good form of electrolytes is:
Powerade zero
Pickle juice
Pink Himalayan salt added to your food
Strict keto - counts all macros, do not eat processed foods.
Lazy keto - doesnβt track all macros, still eats processed foods, as long as they are on plan
Macros are a break down of the calories you intake for the day. Which should be...
5% carbs
20% protein
75% fat
Carb manager is a great app to track macros
Carbs are a limit - try not to go over your carb limit.
Fat is a lever - you donβt have to meet your fat macro, itβs simply there to help you get full.
Protein is a goal- try your best to reach your protein goal, but try not to go over. Excessive amounts of protein can cause you to stall in weight loss.
Anything other than this food group selection would be considered low carb. Also, if you are in ketosis, and eat outside of this food group not only could it take you out of ketosis, but it could spike your blood sugar! Which can make you sick.
Hope this helps. π
If you are a keto newbie- This should help π

CAKE INGREDIENTS:
2 cups blanched finely ground almond flour
1 cup granular erythritol, or preferred sweetener
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
FROSTING:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup powdered erythritol
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
OPTIONAL:
Lily's Chocolate Chips (for drizzling and sprinkling around edges)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, erythritol, cocoa powder, and baking powder until fully combined. Mix in the butter and vanilla. Crack open the eggs into the bowl and stir until completely combined, then stir in the almond milk.
Prepare three 6-inch round cake pans (or work in batches if needed) Generously butter or use pan spray to prevent sticking. Then evenly pour batter between three pans.
Place the pans into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes(ovens vary) until it springs back when you touch and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool completely before removing from the pan or it may (will) fall apart. I find letting it cool to room temp for a few hours then keeping in the fridge overnight yields the best results.
FROSTING:
In a large bowl, whip all ingredients together until fluffy, 3-5 minutes.
To assemble: place first cake on work surface and spread β
of frosting over top. Place second cake layer and add frosting, repeat and smooth frosting over top.
Add any optional toppings/drizzles as desired.
This is hands down the BEST keto pizza! The skillet gives it a deep dish feel, and you can switch up the toppings! Itβs so easy to make and even non-keto love it!
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella, shredded π§
- 2 eggs, beaten π₯π₯
- 1 cup almond flour
- Pinch of salt & pepper π§
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Preheat oven to 400 F, grease a cast iron pan (I use a generous amount of olive oil spray).
2) Mix cream cheese and mozzarella together in a bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and heat additional 20 seconds until melted and mixing smoothly.
3) Add beaten eggs to almond flour, mix well.
4) Combine with the cheese mixture and work until a dough is formed (I use my hands!).
5) Push dough into cast iron skillet (like you would for a deep dish pizza - I cover my hands in oil first so that the dough doesnβt stick to them!). Poke holes to avoid air bubbles. Bake for 10-15 minutes (I bake 15 min).
6) Then add low carb pizza sauce (Raoβs), place desired toppings, and return to the oven for another 10-15 min! (I bake another 15 min, but last couple of minutes I broil to crisp the top a little!)
Let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving!
