Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Keto Cookies

I dont know about you, but one of the most challenging parts of the Keto Diet at first is living without baked goods! This recipe will for sure take care of that! My husband and kids also love this which makes it a double win! You can also make these with nuts instead of chocolate which makes for really great variety!  I love that these are made with coconut flour instead of almond flour! But of course you could substitute that if almond is all you have on hand!

Feta Avocado Lemon Salad – Keto

Next time someone tells you Keto is unhealthy… share this blog post with them!!!
My lunch today is HIGH in HEALHTY FAT, Moderate to low protein and low carb. All carbs are coming from veggie sources.

It is LOADED with real raw nutrients and is literally a fat burning salad in a bowl. 

You can do Keto how YOU want, it doesn’t have to be all greasy beef and butter! (although there is nothing wrong with that, when glucose is starved your body will burn the fat for fuel vs. clogging your arteries which would happen if you were also eating it with the carbs!) 

The point is, keto can be adjusted to suit your lifestyle whether it is vegan, vegetarian or even lazy. Whats important is that you do it how it works best for YOU. If you are a clean eater, create your keto plan to be a CLEAN KETO! Why not? There are plenty of healthy fats out there from coconut oils to nut butters and avocados, you don’t have to eat bacon if you dont want to! This is YOUR body.

I use salads as my go to because they easily replace the bread, instead of a sandwich, I put the toppings on a salad, instead of a burger with fries, I put the burger over a salad with full fat dressings and lots of above ground veggies, instead of a burrito I make a burrito bowl etc.

Here is how I made this super healthy and delicious fat fueled salad today that is now going in my top 10 go to, easy to make recipe:

How To Do Keto WITHOUT Counting Macros!

Introducing LAZY keto! A way for you to follow keto in the simplest form and still get the results from this lifestyle.  In this VIDEO I explain how to do this to get results.

Who is LAZY KETO right for?

• Anyone who is too busy to count macros all day


• Anyone who wants to break the “diet” struggle with tracking calories or macros


• Someone who feels overwhelmed with the Keto principles


• Those that want to get fat loss results but want to make this a lifestyle


• Anyone who gets overwhelmed by the entire concept of tracking food daily.

To do lazy keto watch the video above for the best description on how to get results with this protocol.

Tips to STOP Stress and Emotional Eating

My BEST Day of Keto EVER!! Day Of Foods!

I just had an amazing day of keto with perfect macros and intermittent fasting and it feels AMAZING!!! Check out the new VIDEO to watch how I slayed keto!

I practice Intermittent Fasting and on this day I have followed lazy keto which ended up being perfect macros (75% Fat, 5% Carb, 20% Protein) Here is what I did:

My last meal the night before was at 2 pm and I broke my fast on this day at 12 Noon ( 20 Hour Fast ) In the video I say 18 hours because I was guessing lol after counting it was 20. It is easy for me to do longer fasts like this because of the ketone strategy I follow.

• I had a NAT ketone while fasted in the AM for my fasted workout (I follow the Beachbody on demand LIFT 4 Home workouts)


• Later I had some Coffee with a splash of half n half. I drink this very slowly, over the course of an hour or hour and a half (it does not break my fast)


• I broke my fast with a Salad made of Grilled chicken, with cheese, sliced onions, hard boiled eggs, buffalo sauce and full fat Blue Cheese Dressing.


• When I got home I had some Keto Kreme shaken with half n half and hot coffee.


• I also mixed a Packet of Electrolytes into the keto kreme (I forgot to show that in the video)


• A few hours later I had another NAT Ketone, (this is based on preference, on a day where I eat two or three meals I sometimes only have one ketone that day but always have 2 or more if I am OMAD)


• Then we grilled a flaky white fish with this seasoning and I made a heavy high fat sauce to go on top to balance the macros of the low fat fish. The directions to make the Keto Alfredo sauce I used is in this video.


• I take Magnesium and a Multi-Vitamin Before Bed
