Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing Easy Everyday Keto, and thank you
for doing so. I hope you will find plenty of useful information on the
ketogenic diet plan and learn how to use it in your menu planning
efficiently.

The keto or ketogenic diet is a moderate protein, low-carbohydrate,


and high-fat diet plan that can help your body burn the unwanted fat.
Over fifty studies have shown its benefits for your health, weight
loss, and performance, making it a technique that is recommended
by an abundance of doctors. It can assist you in losing excessive
body fat without creating those nagging hunger bouts, as indicated in
2016 in the British Journal of Nutrition.
The Meaning of Keto
Your body produces ketones, which are small fuel molecules, which
act as an alternate fuel source for the body, especially your brain,
when your blood sugar (glucose) is in short supply.

If you’re eating fewer calories and fewer carbs, your liver will
produce ketones from the fat. Your brain will consume tons of energy
daily, and it cannot function on fat directly. It can only operate on
ketones or glucose. Ketosis is reached as your body enters a
metabolic state when your body produces these ketones.

Fasting (not eating anything) is the quickest way to achieve ketosis,


but you cannot fast indefinitely. The ketogenic diet, on the other
hand, allows you to continue in the state of ketosis.

You have four basic ways to use to ketogenic dieting techniques:

Keto Method #1:The standard ketogenic diet (SKD) consists of


moderate protein, high-fat, and is low in carbs. Generally, this diet is
considered a low-carbohydrate (5% average), high-fat (75%
average), and moderate protein (20%) diet plan. These are average
counts and can vary.

Keto Method #2:Workout times will call for the targeted keto diet,
which is also called TKD. The process consists of adding additional
carbohydrates to the diet plan during the times when you are more
active. This is popular with sportsmen and women who are much
more active.

Keto Method #3:The cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD) entails a


restricted five-day keto diet plan followed by two high-carbohydrate
days.

Keto Method #4:The high-protein keto diet is comparable to the


standard keto plan (SKD) in all aspects. You will consume more
protein. Its ratio is repeatedly noted as maintaining 35% protein, 5%
carbs, and 60% fat. (Once again, these are average percentages.)
Chapter 1: The Ketogenic Diet Explained

Macros Explained
The first step is understanding the macronutrients and how they’re
calculated.
The macronutrients are the building blocks of food consisting of
protein, fat, and carbs.

Maintain your weight with a balance of high fats and low carbs. To
achieve weight loss, you will need to reduce your carbohydrate
intake. The ketogenic techniques will provide you with the required
foods to lose weight and not be hungry. Macros are found in varying
amounts, which are measured using grams. For example, fat equals
approximately nine calories per gram, protein at four calories, and
the carbs at four calories for each gram.

Count The Calories Or The Macros: Which Is Best?


The short of counting calories is that they don’t tell the whole story.
You can fill up on the ‘right’ calories, and you may also lose muscle
mass. For example, you count one hundred calories of avocado (a
fat), which is better than one hundred-calorie cookie (carbs). That is
why keto counts the macros (fat, protein, and carbs), not the
calories.

Remember This Formula: You will need to calculate your net carbs
on some of the recipes you discover on the Internet — some list only
the total carbs. If that happens, just take the total carbs listed (-) fiber
(=) the total net carbs, which is what you need to track for an
accurate count so you can remain in ketosis.
The Role of Calories - Fats, Protein,& Carbs
Carbs Needed Daily to Lose Weight
To achieve weight loss, you will need to reduce your carbohydrate
intake. You will soon realize the plan will allow you to feel full and
satisfied while still losing weight. You simply restrict carb intake,
including starches such as bread and pasta, as well as sugars. As a
result of the keto diet, you will replace them with fat and protein. Not
only will you lose weight, but you will also lower blood pressure,
triglycerides, and blood sugar.

What works for one person as a ‘low-carb’ diet might be too low for
another person. It depends on your activity levels, age, body
composition, and gender. It may also depend on your metabolic
health, food culture, and personal preferences.

If you are more active and have more muscle mass, you can tolerate
more carbs versus someone who is sedentary. If people get
metabolic syndrome, he/she may become obese or suffer from type
II diabetes, whereas the rules change. It is sometimes referred to by
scientists as ‘carbohydrate intolerance.’

As mentioned, there’s no set rule for carb intake. These are some of
the basic guidelines to consider as you blaze the path on the
ketogenic diet plan, which is effective about 90% of the time:

Moderate Carb Intake: 100-150 Grams Daily


If you are active and lean trying to maintain weight, these are some
of the foods to consider:
● Several fruits daily
● All the veggies you can eat
● Healthy starches such as rice, oats, sweet potatoes, and
potatoes

50-100 Grams Daily:


● Plenty of veggies
● 2-3 pieces of fruit each day
● Minimal intake of starchy carbs

20-50 Grams Daily:


Losing weight at the rate of 20-50 g. daily quickly falls into this
category. If you have diabetes, are obese, or metabolically
deranged, this is the plan for you. If you are consuming less than 50
grams daily, your body will achieve a ketosis state which supplies the
ketone bodies.

Consider these guidelines:


● Some berries with whipped cream
● Plenty of low-carbohydrate veggies
● Trace carbs from foods including nuts, seeds, and avocados

As you now see, it is essential to experiment and categorize where


you fall on the scales before you make any changes. Seek your
doctor’s advice before changing your eating patterns. In some
cases, you could reduce the need for some medications.
The Balance of Exercising & Eating Habits
If you are not eating sufficient food, your body’s metabolism will slow
down. Research studies indicate that the metabolic rate can drop as
much as 15% if you do aerobic exercise more than one hour daily.

Also, eating too little food can have the same results. In this event,
over six months, your metabolic rate would drop by about 6%, with a
25% calorie deficit.
For example, if you are 240 pounds, you can receive approximately
2449 calories from fat storage. At 220 pounds, it would be about
11821 calories. You see how it drops.
Against the logic, add some extra fat and protein to see if it helps.
You should also consider a 4-day workout regimen as your maximum
training time weekly. Work-out in short intervals any time of the day
you feel the need to get moving. You just need fast feet, and high
knee lifts to perform your exercises. After all, you are trying to push
your heart to its maximum, not your biceps. Give yourself some
needed rest.

You must keep track of the macros to ensure your body remains in
balance.
Keto Versus Other Famous Diets
The Keto Diet limits the carbohydrate intake at 5% of the energy
intake, whereas the low-carb diet plans have no definition. The
ketogenic diet is moderate protein, high-fat, and low-carbs. With its
limitations of carbs, the diet forces your body to burn the fat for
energy (ketosis).

During the introductory stage, the Atkins diet is set at roughly 15-30
grams per day of carbs to help promote fat burning instead of using
glycogen for energy. Its popularity took a dive when individuals were
gaining weight over the long term, getting sick, and increasing their
blood lipid profile.
The Paleo diet is a newer trend based on eating, as our ancestors
did 10,000 years ago. It consists of eating more fruits and veggies
because meat supplies were not always available daily. The foods
contain more fiber, omega-3s, vitamins, and minerals. They also had
less salt and saturated fats.
Fats aside from meat should come from healthy oils (avocado,
macadamia, walnut, olive). The balance of the diet should reflect
refined sugar, legumes, potatoes, cereal grains, and dairy.
TheSouth Beach diet operates in phases to help with quick weight
loss. The first 14 days is a ‘restriction phase’ in which you cannot
eat, fruit, sugar, alcohol, ice cream, sweets, bread, pasta, rice,
potatoes, or baked goods. You will shake your metabolism and halt
your sugar dependence, placing your body in fat-burning mode. After
two weeks, you can add some of the carbs, including some fruits and
brown rice (phase 2). Phase three enters a long-term approach,
much like the Mediterranean diet with lean meats, some dairy, fresh
fish, and veggies.
Each diet claims to be best for you, so it is up to you to decide!
Hints to Produce Energy From Foods
You need to keep your energy levels high, which means you need a
variety of healthy oils and veggies as well as a balance of proteins,
carbs, and fats. Since some foods can provide a quick boost that
fades quickly, you need to discover ways to reduce cravings
between meals. Try one or all of these methods:
● Eat Smaller - More Frequent Meals
● Use Caffeine As A Plus
● Limit Alcohol Intake
● Enjoy Keto Energy Bars
Do You Know What Your Body is Craving?
Your body will tell you what is necessary to keep it going. The
message comes to you as a craving. Here are a few cravings with
what your body needs and a quick fix for the issue:
Carbs/Bread/Pasta: You need some nitrogen, which can be
remedied with some high protein meat.
Chocolate: The carbon, magnesium, and chromium levels are
screaming for some spinach, nuts, and seeds, or some broccoli and
cheese.
Fatty or Oily Foods: The levels of calcium and chloride need repair
with some spinach, broccoli, cheese, or fish.
Salty Foods: Your body is craving silicon. So, grab a few nuts and
seeds; just be sure to count them into your daily counts.
Sugary Foods: Several things can trigger the desire for sugar, but
typically phosphorous, and tryptophan are the culprits. Have some
chicken, beef, lamb, liver, cheese, cauliflower, or broccoli.
The Importance of Drinking Water
You may not know, but water is the main component of your blood.
It’s essential to carry nutrients to your cells and remove waste
products. If you become dehydrated, you will begin showing signs of
fatigue. If you enjoy working out (or not), be sure you drink an 8-
ounce glass of refreshing water before you begin. It’s also vital to
have another glassful after you have completed your time on the
mats. If you have passed the 30-minute workout, be sure to drink
small amounts of refreshing water every 15 minutes to half an hour.
Stock the Fridge
The first area to consider is stocking your refrigerator. Good health
depends on using fresh, organic, or raw milk products. Choose from
harder cheese items, including mozzarella and cheddar, since they
contain fewer carbs. Also, purchase full-dairy items to gain additional
calcium and protein. Add non-dairy items, including coconut, almond,
or cashew milk. Consider some of these items:

● Brie Cheese - 0.1 grams of net carbs per 1 ounce


● Cheddar or Colby Cheese - 0.4 net carbs per 1 ounce
● Cream cheese - 0.8 net carbs per 2 tablespoons
● Sour cream -1 gram net carb per 1 tablespoon
● Feta Cheese - 1.2 grams net carbs per 1 ounce
● Parmesan cheese - 0.9 per 1 ounce
● Heavy whipping cream - double cream & whipped - 3 grams of
net carbs per ½ cup
Understand the difference between ghee (clarified butter) and grass-
fed butter. As you begin using your ketogenic recipes, you may
notice some of them will have these items listed. You can promote
fat loss and retain lean muscle mass using butter. Butter consists of
water, milk solids, and butterfat. Ghee, an Indian staple, includes
pure butterfat. Therefore, if you have lactose sensitivities, ghee is
probably your best choice. The ghee also contains medium-chain
fatty acids that assist your immune system and digestion.
Whole Eggs: Search for a local area market for free-range
options. You can scramble, fry, boil, or devil eggs up for a
picnic or any occasion.

when you finish the 16-day-meal plan, begin to plan your week
meals by choosing among the recipes in the book. See our
example and insert the recipes you like. Adapt the recipes to
your food availability at the moment and fresh seasonal food.
You can copy it on a journal if you need.
Purchase Keto-Friendly Fresh Veggies
The values in the list are calculated for the times you don’t have a
specific recipe to use, so you don’t exceed your daily carbohydrate
limits. The following list will provide you with the net carbs used for
each ½ cup serving :

● Sprouted Alfalfa Seeds (0.2)


● Arugula (2.05)
● Asparagus - 6 spears (2.4)

noted as total carbs - for ½ cup servings (100 grams):

● Boiled Apples – no skin (13.6)


● Apricots (7.5)

Choose Healthy Fats:
Not all fats are unhealthy.

● Natural Trans Fats:You find these in meat and dairy products


from grass-fed animals.

● Monounsaturated Fats: Avocados: Purchase this healthy


food, which has 24 grams to 30 grams of healthy fats and is
also high in fiber. The avocado is very filling and satisfying.

● Saturated Fats:This is found in palm or coconut oil (medium-


chain triglycerides (MCTs), cream, eggs, lard, ghee, butter, and
red meat.

● Natural Polyunsaturated Fats:Omega-3 is found in fish oil,


fish, chia, and flaxseeds. For legumes, seeds, and nuts rich in
Omega-6 (but just eat in small portions). The ratio of Omega-3
compared to Omega-6 should be as close as possible to 1:1.
Benefits of Ingredients Used
Apple Cider Vinegar:Who would believe the benefits you can
receive from just one to two tablespoons of vinegar in an 8-ounce
glass of water would help the process? You can choose the straight-
up method and skip the water. These are just a few ways this helps
your progress:
● Reduces cholesterol
● Excellent for detoxification
● Helps you to drop the pounds
● Improves your digestion tract
● Helps with sore muscles
● Controls sugar intake/aids in diabetes
● Strengthens your immune system
● A good energy booster
● Balances your inner body system and functions

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO):Olive oil is one of the oldest edible


oils in existence, with culinary uses dating back to at least 1000 B.C.
and even more in the distance was the oil used for anointing priests
and kings. It’s versatile, delicious, and good for your
health. Research shows that olive oil helps to prevent cardiovascular
disease by protecting the integrity of your vascular system and
lowering LDL - the 'bad' cholesterol. Furthermore, after new
research, extra-virgin olive oil also improves the gut microbiome by
increasing the growth of probiotic “Bifidobacteria” strains.

Monounsaturated fats, like the ones in olive oil, are also linked with
better blood sugar regulation, including lower fasting glucose, as well
as reducing inflammation throughout the body. Research further
indicates extra-virgin olive oil resists oxidation during heating better
than many other cooking oils. EVOO has a smoke point as high as
410º Fahrenheit. That’s higher than most cooking applications call
for and makes olive oil more heat stable than many other cooking
fats.

Incorporate Coconut Oil:The oil is also used as one of the best


ways to improve ketone levels in people with nervous system
disorders, such as those with Alzheimer’s. Coconut oil contains
MCTs which speed up the ketosis process. Unlike many other fats,
the MCTs are absorbed rapidly and go directly to the liver, where
they are used for immediate energy – resulting in conversion to
ketones.

The oil contains four types of these fats, 50% of which comes from
the lauric acid. Research has indicated a higher percentage may
produce sustained ketosis levels because it is metabolized more
gradually than other MCTs. Add coconut oil slowly to your diet
because it can cause some stomach cramping or diarrhea until you
adjust. Begin with one teaspoon daily, and work it up to two to three
tablespoons for about one week.

Fermented Foods:Use items while on the keto plan such as


coconut milk kefir, coconut milk, yogurt, pickles, sauerkraut, and
kimchi to help with any digestive issues.
Peanut Butter:Purchase natural peanut butter but use caution
because they do contain high counts of carbohydrates and
Omega-6s. Macadamia nut butter is a wise alternative.

Pastured Pork & Poultry: Choose from duck, pheasant, or


quail, turkey breasts & ground turkey. Enjoy chicken thighs,
breasts, drumsticks, and ground chicken.

Fish:It’s preferable to eat any fish that are caught in the wild.
Include one single can of sardines (4 ounces) to receive 1,363
mg of omega-3 fatty acids, and nearly 400 IU of vitamin D.
Raw shrimp is 5 grams of net carbs for ¼ pound. Imitation crab
is 4.6 grams of net carbs for one ounce. Squid is nine grams
for ¼ pound. You can also include fresh or canned tuna, trout,
salmon, eel, catfish, flounder, cod, halibut, mahi-mahi,
snapper, or mackerel as part of your diet plan. Just portion into
bags and freeze until needed.

It is suggested by the dietary guidelines for Americans to


consume at least eight ounces of fish per week. It contains an
abundance of Vitamin D as well as healthy fat and protein.
Fish and seafood are also good for your brain and will help
with cognition and clarity while limiting the number of calories
you're consuming.

Shellfish: Choose crabs, clams, lobster, oysters, scallops,


squid, shrimp, or mussels.

Meat:Grass-fed meats are preferred because they have a


better fatty acid count. Choose from veal, lamb, goat, or other
wild game. Cuts of beef include chuck roast, flank steak,
sirloin, or lean ground beef.

Venison: This is an excellent choice since it is lean, and is grass-


raised meat.

Fresh Nuts: Nuts have more minerals than many other foods. Brazil
nuts can be added to your diet daily as they are very high in
selenium, which is vital for your immune system. It also assists your
thyroid function. Walnuts are another great source of omega-3 fatty
acids, protein, and fiber. The combo will fill you up and prevent blood
sugar spikes. Almonds, hazelnuts, macadamia, pecans, pine nuts,
cashews, or pistachios are also good choices.

Fresh Seeds: Pumpkin seeds are an excellent source of magnesium


to include in your keto plan. They help immensely with your blood
sugar levels and muscles. Flax seeds also provide an offering of
omega-3 fatty acids. The micronutrients found in flax help reduce
inflammation in your body. Sesame seeds, chia seeds, or psyllium
are also good options. Coconut is also a good choice that can be
used as shredded and unsweetened, which weighs in at .25 cup for
just 1.3 net carbs.

Garlic:Garlic leads the charge on lowering your blood sugar and


assisting you in weight loss. It helps control your appetite.
Lemon and Lime: Your blood sugar levels will naturally drop with
these citric additions, and signal a boost in your liver function. Use
them in green juices, with a salad, or with cooked meat or veggies.
The choices are limitless and assist you with the following:
● Reduces toothache pain
● Boosts your immune system
● Relieves respiratory infections
● Balances pH
● Decreases wrinkles and blemishes
● Reduces fever
● Excellent for weight loss
● Flushes out the unwanted, unhealthy materials
● Blood purifier
Choose Healthy Sweeteners
Consider each one of these sweeteners before you make a choice.
The recipes are usually flexible, but many typically recommend using
a specific product.

Swerve Granular Sweetener is also an excellent option as a blend


made from non-digestible carbs sourced from starchy root veggies
and select fruits. It is an excellent choice for those who do not like
the taste of stevia.

Swerve is on the market as a one-to-one substitute. However, start


with ¾ of a teaspoon for every one of sugar. Increase the portion as
needed. Swerve also has its own confectioners/powdered sugar for
your baking needs. On the downside, it is more expensive than other
products such as the Pyure.

Stevia Drops offer flavors, including English toffee, hazelnut, vanilla,


and chocolate. You can make sweetened coffee or drinks quickly.
However, everyone is different, and some think the drops are too
bitter to taste. Therefore, only use three drops to equal one teaspoon
of sugar.

Pyure Organic All-Purpose Blend is an excellent all-around


sweetener. There’s no bitter aftertaste with this stevia-based product.
The blend of stevia and erythritol is an excellent alternative to your
sweetening, baking, and cooking needs. It is suggested that you
substitute 1/3 teaspoon of Pyure for every one teaspoon of sugar.
Adjust this to your taste, since you can always add a bit more.

For powdered sugar, you can grind the sweetener in a NutriBullet or


other blender until it’s very dry.

The Purist is provided by NOW Foods has a 100% erythritol


sweetener. The product is about 70% sweet as sugar. Therefore, you
need a little more. Start by using 1.33 to 1.5 teaspoons of the
erythritol in comparison to one teaspoon of sugar.

Lakanto provides an apple-flavored - sugar-free syrup with a monk-


fruit and erythritol based. You can also select the Golden Monk Fruit
Sweetener as a brown sugar choice. The name monk-fruit came
from the Buddhist monks over 1,000 years ago. It is considered a
cooling-agent and may not agree with your digestive system. Use it
sparingly if using it in baked goods.

Sukrin Gold provides a brown sugar alternative. The mixture of


stevia and erythritol claims the one-to-one ratio for sugar. It is always
best to start with the rate of ¾ of a teaspoon per one teaspoon of
sugar. According to the standards in the United States, this is not a
good choice if you are seeking a gluten-free alternative because it
contains malt extract.
Benefits of Spices Used
Black Pepper:Pepper can promote nutrient absorption in the body
tissues, speeds up your metabolism for up to 8% for several hours
as it improves digestion. The main ingredient of pepper is a pipeline,
which gives it the pungent taste. As you will see, it is used
throughout your ketogenic recipes.
Cayenne Pepper:The secret fiery ingredient in cayenne is the
capsaicin, which is a natural compound that provides a slight
increase in your metabolism. The peppers are also rich in vitamins,
which are useful as an appetite controller, smooths out digestion
issues, and benefit your heart health.
Cinnamon: Use cinnamon as part of your daily plan to improve your
insulin receptor activity. Just put one-half of a teaspoon of cinnamon
into a shake or any type of keto dessert. As you will see, many of the
keto recipes contain the ingredient.
Ginger Benefits: Ginger is an effective diuretic that increases urine
elimination. It is also known for its cholesterol-fighting properties, as
a metabolism booster, and is even considered a mobility booster.
Ginger also helps fight bloating issues, especially for women who
experience weight gain and bloating during those times of the month.

Turmeric:The use of this Asian orange herb dates back to Ayurveda


and Chinese medicine. The curcumin, which is an anti-inflammatory
compound found in turmeric, helps improve your insulin receptor
function while regulating your blood sugar levels. It aids in digestion
and improves weight management. Add turmeric to your meats,
vegetables, green drinks, or smoothies. To maximize the antioxidant
elements, add the turmeric after the meal has finished cooking.
Mustard Seed:Spicy mustard can help boost your metabolism and
allow you to burn fat quickly. This is, in fact, due to its thermogenic
properties. Try substituting mayonnaise with mustard. They have the
same creamy texture, and you'll only be spending about one-tenth of
the calories.

Now, you see how easy it is to go Keto; make these your new
favorite recipes!
Of course, there are plenty more recipes, just like these!
Conclusion
I hope you have thoroughly enjoyed each segment of your personal
copy of Easy Everyday Keto. I hope it was informative and provided
you with all of the tools you need to achieve your goals, whatever
they may be.

Remember to skip the highest ranks of GPS – grains, potatoes, and


sugar.
Focus on veggies, fats, and proteins. Visit a restaurant that offers a
healthy salad bar, seafood spreads, carving stations, and vegetable
platters. You can usually find butter, olive oil, sour cream, and
cheese in plentiful supply.

Use a smaller plate. Play a mind game and fill a small plate instead
of a larger one. Try it, this really works.

Make Wise Drink Decisions:The best choice is water, tea, coffee,


or sparkling water. Decaf coffee or herbal tea is another excellent
option. If alcohol is your craving, choose dry wine, champagne, or
light beer. Also, consider spirits – straight or with a bit of club soda.

Choose Dessert Wisely:If you are still hungry, try to have another
cup of tea or a cheese platter. Have a portion of berries with heavy
cream. What about some cream in your coffee?

Take your time. Enjoy your time spent with the conversation of a
friend or family member. Drink your water and sip your tea or coffee.
Enjoy and feel satisfied!

You may experience some headaches, fatigue, or nausea, which is


sometimes called ‘induction flu.’ As you remove the carbs, your
potassium and sodium (vital electrolytes) are also removed. Taking a
supplement will help with these issues.
Sodium Supplements: You should receive at least one to two grams
of extra sodium daily. Some of the pros accomplish this with bouillon
cubes. Sea Salt is a great option used in your diet plan. You should
receive 3000 to 5000 mg of sodium daily.

Potassium Supplement: You can become low in potassium in the


short-term because of the vomiting and diarrhea that could go along
with your early stages to the keto plan. Natural potassium can also
be received through milk, whole grains, bananas, veggies, peas, and
beans. It is recommended to take supplements because potassium
also leaves your body with salt. As part of your well-prepared meal
plan, you should receive 3000 to 4000 mg of potassium daily.

Magnesium Supplement: For magnesium, 300-500 mg is an initial


recommendation. Muscle cramps are your best indicator of
depletion.
You may not need these supplements, but it’s always a good idea to
know which ones would help should you experience any discomfort
during the progression of the ketogenic diet and its restrictions.
Finally, if you found this book useful in any way, a review on Amazon
is always appreciated!
