Keto: Enjoy losing weight (16:8) #1

If you want to lose weight while still enjoying amazing food, we’ve got the perfect meal plan for you.

To help turn you into a fat-burning machine, we’ve decided to employ intermittent fasting (16:8) in this week’s meal plan. This means your first meal will be at lunch — but feel free to drink coffee, tea, and of course, water throughout the day.

This mouth-watering ketogenic menu will keep you way below 20 grams of carbs per day. It includes some popular budget-friendly meals, such as our No-bean keto chili and Crispy tuna burgers, plus a few more elevated meals like our
Ribeye steak with loaded cauliflower mash.

Remember, you can always swap pricey ingredients such as ribeye with cheaper protein options such as chicken thighs or pork chops. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time as needed.

By skipping breakfast, you’ll automatically save money that you could potentially spend on higher-quality ingredients such as grass-fed beef and organic eggs — a good investment for your body, the animals, and the environment.

    Amazing! So much scrummy salty taste.

    Had these breakfast today as I didn't want eggs (had made frittata for lunch) and think chia seed porridge was causing stomach issues.

    They're a new favourite. I let them cool down for 10mins before eating so were warm.

    Proper. As someone who's had a gastrectomy and RNY bypass, i can't fit much in, so what goes in has to be salty, and full of the "bad things"

    Sadly the test cook didn't go well, as they were snaffled by my uncle, fiancee, and parents! Lovely! *humphf"

    I mde myself two more and utter heaven. Will try it with serrano/parma ham soon.

    The maths on this just doesn't add up. A slice of bacon is 12% fat, 19% protein; halloumi 21% protein, 25% fat. How then, does combining them result in something which is 78% fat?

    Made these today for lunch, served on mixed greens with some cherry tomatoes. Excellent! I found trying to turn them made them fall apart and wasn’t necessary, they came out fine without turning. This one is a keeper as well!

    The serving sizes that this defaults to in this case 2, is that 4g carbs for 1 serving or is it 4g for one halloumi and bacon wrap?

    This is 4g carbs per serving.

    I made these today, but sadly they didn't work well for me. British bacon usually has massive amounts of water in it which comes out during cooking. I ended up effectively boiling the individual cheese & bacon pieces rather than roasting them.

    I will try this again, but I'll fry them, emptying the water as I go along to see if it improves the outcome.

    Hi What is the best bacon to use on keto in the uk?

    Any bacon with about equal lean and fat will be good.
