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.

    We absolutely love this recipe! I make my own beef chorizo sausage and this is a fantastic combination. We like to cook the cabbage separately with the cream, then plate the chorizo next to it. It makes beautiful display...

    This cabbage is so good. I always add some nutmeg to cabbage. Works really well.

    I got a bit scared shredding the cabbage, there was so much! But it cooks right down in the cream and tastes delicious! A new favourite side to leaner meat!

    Gluten-free sausages are the best, or venison.

    Made the cabbage portion of this tonight, and it makes 4 hearty servings. I cut down on the butter and cream (don't deal with dairy fats that well) and subbed in some olive oil and enough cream to give the taste. I also added some dill seed from the garden for extra flavor. Yum yum!

    Great suggestions for adjusting the dish to your personal preferences! Thank you for sharing.
