Surviving Holidays on a Keto Diet and Loving It

These Holiday Keto Recipes will bring you much peace and deliciousness this season.

There are often two worrisome camps of keto dieters.

One pushes aside the diet and says just this one day. The problem with that is the carbs and sugar are so addicting, especially to those who have had a lifetime of overeating, that this one day can take you down.

Let me help you with that temptation, as we enjoy the weekend with amazing keto dinners, and a success.

Another thinks it’s impossible to control eating at parties and holiday dinners. Let me help you with that fear.

The Weight gain Typically starts at Thanksgiving and goes all the way to the New Year.

The calories consumed by the average person on a typical Thanksgiving day range from 3,000 to 4,500 calories. After about 2,000 calories the joy of eating is certainly lost and Black Friday often starts it all over again with leftovers. Christmas only gets more intense with treats in every office and cookies everywhere.

I’m here to help with that.

I want you to know a few things about holiday keto recipes that I recommend.

I love food, good tasting food and I enjoy the holidays.
I’m a pretty good cook, so you can trust my recipes.
If there’s something old school you HAVE to have, have some of it, but surround yourself with sugar free desserts, and grain free breads.
It’s better to stick with whole foods that don’t take you down, so enjoy some of the vegetables and fruits you may not normally, such as apples and carrots.
If you must overeat a bit, eat low glycemic foods that don’t spike blood sugar, making it much easier to get back to your plan.
