We love the introduction of spaghetti squash and rice cauliflower. I understand the veggies have been around a long time, but it is so nice to have an option to substitute for high-carbohydrate foods such as white rice. If you love csseroles, this low-carb dinner does not disappoint. This Chicken, Squash & Spinach Keto Casserole incorporates everyone’s keto favorite – cheese!
According to Healthline.com, a ketogenic diet (often termed keto) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares many similarities with the Atkins and low-carb diets. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. The reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis.
A Keto diet can be very flavorful, you really are not limited on taste but you are limited on some foods. In short, you should eat REAL food such as meat, eggs, nuts, yogurt, vegetables and occasionally some fruits. Apart from the obvious limitation of carbohydrates in foods, it is also recommended to avoid processed food and any food that may contain preservatives and colorings. Again, low-carb, high-fat!
