keto

As a health care professional with 42 years experience - and a wife who is a nutrition expert - my advice is to stay away from the "keto" diet and any other fad diet out there. Whole foods - preferably plant based - is the healthiest way to eat (and would put interventional cardiologists and CT surgeons out of business if everyone would eat that way). Shy away from dairy products and consider cheese poison. There are tons of replicable, peer-reviewed studies out there supporting this position.

How about a 26 oz slab of Porterhouse charred on the outside and red on the inside served with a 1.5 lb baked potato smothered in sour cream, amish butter, and xtra sharp cheddar cheese?

Linked site has a lot of good recipes. We have made their fried rice, buffalo chicken, crab cakes, biscuits, three different pizzas, two different candies, all tasty and satisfying when you want something other than a chunk of grilled meat dropped onto a salad.

Husband is not doing keto, but we have cut our carbs to a minimum. We still eat them, just not many.

This has become one of his favorite meals.

One bag of fresh brussel sprouts, or thawed frozen ones, sliced VERY thin
One can (yeah, it can be nasty, but...) corned beef (I usually use half the can for one serving)

Heat skillet, add some olive oil and toss in the brussels, add salt and pepper and a small amount of garlic powder/salt. Stir and cook until brussels begin to slightly brown, then add the corned beef and stir well, breaking up the corned beef. Turn down the heat and let the corned beef warm through.

Thanks guys. Seems like there is a lot to keep us busy. We are also not going crazy with it, only a low carb change of pace. We were getting tired of the same old same old. So far seems to be working.

also i'll give up about anything before I give up cheese. need it to make the veggies tasty when I pair them with that 32 oz porterhouse ;)

Low carbohydrate diets continue to expand in popularity because they work and taste great. Tons of recipes out there, and some good websites have already been listed.
I started a ketogenic diet many years ago, originally for weight loss. (lost 70 lbs). However, the big bonus for me was the elimination of migraine headaches. I used to get 1 to 3 migraines a month on average, but now haven't had one in years.

so far wife is seeing results and im seeing slabs of tasty dead animals. win win

When you are perusing the internet for recipes, also look for Atkins recipes. Atkins diet is the grandparent of all these low carb diets today.
