A friend of mine turned me onto this diet last week and I'm going all-in with it. I'll post many Keto friendly recipes over the coming weeks and months along with my progress. First I'll start by sharing my current weight along with the basics of a keto diet. You don't count calories on this plan, you focus on no sugars and very limited carbs.
I'm starting out at 182 pounds, at 5'7" my optimal weight is 162 so the goal is to hit that in three months. A keto diet is also a LCHF, or low carb high fat diet. Optimal rations for a meal are 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carb. This first dish is a greek inspired stew with a 75%F 21%P 4%c ratio. First: Saute two large chicken breasts in 1/2 stick butter, 1 TBS each of minced garlic, parsley and oregano. Second: Make a cream sauce out of 5oz basil pesto and 1/1/2 cups heavy cream. Third: Combine 12 oz of feta cheese and 2 cups of mixed black, green and kalamata olives. Last; Mix in the chicken and sauce mix and bake for 25 minutes at 400 degrees.
