Keto Anyone

Tweet

Has anyone here investigated keto? I know, I know, one group says it's totally bad for everyone while another group has been following it or a modified version for a year or so. I've been considering going keto for several months now and I will say it's helped me find my will power to stay away from the bad foods. I'm eating a lot more cauliflower. There are many options for foods. I've tried foods I've never considered eating before and made them ways I wouldn't have thought about. The recipe I absolutely fell in love with was cauliflower (Mac) n cheese. It's made using cream cheese, whipping cream and cheddar cheese. And cauliflower and seasonings. If you like pork rinds you can crumble them on top for some crunch. Yum!! I give that one five stars. I made several things before my surgery and wish I made more because I'm having a hard time sitting long enough to do the prep work. Recently, I was going to make cauliflower casserole but was missing the green onions and I couldn't remember whether I had pre-cooked bacon. It was taking a long time and I intended to roast some turnips but decided to put them into the casserole dish and bake them together instead. It's [i]okay[/I]. Maybe the actual recipe is a thumbs up but I won't make this again. I would do how the recipe has it but not my modified, lazy version. I'm following a couple bloggers and also have a recipe book. Someone was coming up with a recipe for baking radishes. I bought some watermelon radishes at work and added some of those to my casserole. I had an upset stomach twice after eating it and I'm thinking it was the radishes since I've already tried turnips with no problems. In my image the larger one, I believe is the cauliflower-mac'n cheese. The top right had the watermelon radishes with the turnips and cauliflower before baking and the small crock is that dish after baking. I worked around leaving the radishes behind for eating my leftovers for today's supper and so far my stomach is fine. The last image is my first effort at keto no bake cookies. I added granulated stevia to the melted butter. I'm hoping if I add more of that or a similar sugar that my husband will also enjoy them. They are missing the oats mainly. I made a double batch since I've been wishing they were already made for a while. They do need to be kept in the fridge after a short time in the freezer and I will say they turned out pretty good. Some I made dropping them into a parchment covered cookie sheet and the square ones I put into a silicone tray. They are much better than the fat bombs I made two weeks ago. Any questions? I will say my dentist said he did keto when he gained weight after an injury. My main thing is I don't want to gain after my surgery before I have full use of the joint. ( I will be writing a separate update on that soon). I've been doing this for about three weeks and initially lost five pounds. I'm now where I was last November.
