Italian Keto Meatballs – a low carbohydrate dinner recipe for the family on Frugal Coupon Living.
Italian Keto Meatballs
I have to shed some baby weight. Pregnancy with twins does a number on one’s body. I have some close friends that went through a Keto Diet and was amazed by their results! Plus I was very intrigued by a diet high in fat, love in carbs – I mean, I really love my cheese! When you are on a Keto Diet plan, it’s important to go all in. You cannot flip flop between this lifestyle and another dietary plan otherwise your numbers will not balance. If beginning a ketogenic diet, try out these Italian Keto Meatballs for dinner. We used turkey ground met, but you can consider a fattier meat like 80/20 – 80 percent lean, 20% fat. Enjoy!
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!
