Keto dieting means high carb foods like bread, pasta and pancakes are strictly prohibited meaning that some can start to crave these foods. People often crave high carbohydrate foods because they are used to eating them. However, there are different recipes you can try at home in order to get what would be considered high carb foods into your diet by making them keto friendly and swapping ingredients for ketogenic ones.
All of these ingredients are low in carbohydrates and some of them including apple cider vinegar can also help with weight loss while on the diet.
Eggs are one of the healthiest and most versatile foods on the planet. One large egg contains less than 1 gram of carbs and fewer than 6 grams of protein, making eggs an ideal food for a ketogenic lifestyle.
Firstly, prepare the dry ingredients and then the wet ingredients separately. Mix them together quickly.
Next you want to heat a plan on low and add a tablespoon of coconut oil.
For those looking for something more savoury, you can also make your own loaf of bread by using almond flour.
Almond flour is a low-carb flour staple for everyone following a ketogenic diet.
A 1/4 cup of almond flour contains around 160 calories, 14 grams of fat, six grams of protein and just two grams of net carbs making it one of the best flour alternatives.
Plus, the taste is so similar that you won’t even recognise the difference.
The ingredients are very similar to the pancakes and it is super easy to make.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup coconut flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup butter
• 4 large egg whites
Turn the oven to around 150 degrees.
Butter is also perfect for a keto lifestyle as it is carb-free and about 80 percent fat.
Firstly, you want to mix all of the dry ingredients together until fully combined.
Next add the melted butter to create a smooth mix.
Finally add the large egg whites which you have mixed in a separate bowl until they form stiff peaks.
Pour the mixture into a lined loaf tin and smooth the top.
Bake for around 40 minutes until the top is golden brown. You can then add tinfoil to the top to stop it from burning and bake for a further 30 minutes until the top is firm.
