50+ Healthy Keto Snacks to Help with Ketosis
One of the most satiating diets is the keto diet. Keto-friendly foods are typically so filling that keto dieters end up eating fewer calories — and, in many cases, fewer meals — throughout the day. This allows them to lose weight sustainably. However, just because you are following keto doesn’t mean that you are immune to hunger and afternoon energy crashes. If you’re not prepared, and the convenience of processed, carb-dense snacks beckons you, you may very well find yourself with a mouthful ...

Keto Tuna Casserole
Growing up, I ate tuna casserole often. It's probably one of my favorite comfort dinners during the winter season and thankfully it's also super easy to keto-fy! Now, tuna casserole is usually made with some carby vegetables such as peas. So for this recipe, I swapped those out for some keto-friendly veggies like mushrooms and a small amount of carrots. Instead of pasta noodles I used shirataki noodles, but zucchini keto noodles are also a great alternative. The great thing about this ...

Keto Beef Wellington
Looking to surprise your significant other or friends and family with a fancy feast, but don’t know what to make? Me too. One dish I see at pricey restaurants is Beef Wellington. A seared tenderloin, wrapped in puff pastry and stuffed with pate. I’ve decided to attempt a low-carb version. The one thing about this recipe is that it’s a little costly depending on what meat you get. I bought 2 tenderloin steaks (also known as filet mignon), which was around 20 dollars. It’s worth buying a ...
