00:00The keto menu in front of me contains less than 25 total grams of carbohydrates.
00:05So if you are just getting started with keto, you're simply curious about what a keto day of
00:10eating looks like, or you've hit a weight loss plateau, this full day of eating keto has you
00:16covered. In this video, I'll share the easy recipes for a make-it-yourself breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
00:22As I mentioned, the foods in this one-day keto menu contain less than 25 total grams of carbohydrates,
00:319 of which are fiber. Now, if you are coming from a high-carb lifestyle where you were consuming
00:36refined carbohydrates like cereal, sandwich bread, soda, pasta, and desserts on a regular basis,
00:43this will be a big change for your body. And even if you were eating a healthy high-carb diet,
00:49your daily carb consumption was likely around 50% or more of your daily calories. With a keto diet,
00:56it is a very low-carb diet where your carbohydrate intake will be less than 10% of your daily calories.
01:03It will take time for your body to adapt to this way of eating. So if you make this switch overnight,
01:10you may experience keto flu symptoms such as fatigue, cravings, and irritability. To lessen
01:16those symptoms, you may want to start with a low-carb diet before jumping into keto. If so,
01:22you can watch my video that shares a full day of eating low-carb.
01:26Okay, with that said, let's take a look at a quick and satisfying keto breakfast.
01:32Eggs are a favorite food for keto dieters because they provide your body with fat and protein,
01:38yet contain virtually no carbohydrates. Eggs can also be enjoyed in a variety of ways. You can fry them,
01:45scramble them, or eat them hard-boiled like I am showing in this keto breakfast.
01:50Hard-boiled eggs are good to have on hand if you are following a keto diet because they work as well
01:56as a grab-and-go keto snack in the afternoon as they do in the morning. And if a plain hard-boiled egg
02:04doesn't excite you, eating them with a spicy dipping sauce will certainly up the game. For instance,
02:11you can whip up this dipping sauce by mixing together two tablespoons of mayonnaise, a teaspoon
02:18of Dijon mustard, one-eighth of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and a dash of salt and pepper.
02:24Now, I will share the ingredients for each of these foods in the video, but if you would like to print
02:30a copy, you can download all of the recipes on my blog post by going to drbeckyfitness.com
02:36slash keto menu. And I will put that link in the description area below this video.
02:43With two hard-boiled eggs, this quick keto eggs with spicy dipping sauce recipe contains just over
02:50one gram of carbohydrates, yet it is packed with energy thanks to the 35 grams of fat and more than
02:5712 grams of protein. That is a macronutrient ratio that you want as a keto dieter. A keto diet is a very
03:06low-carb, high-fat, moderate-protein diet. This macronutrient intake prevents the blood sugar and
03:13insulin spikes you get when you eat something refined for breakfast like cereal or a muffin.
03:19When insulin is high, it prevents the release of fat from the fat cells. So, right from the start of
03:25your day, you have a satisfying meal that keeps your blood sugar and insulin levels low and under
03:31control. Plus, if your morning is rushed or you are practicing intermittent fasting in the morning and
03:36need a late breakfast that is easy to transport, you can make the hard-boiled eggs and dipping sauce
03:44the night before and then just grab-and-go in the morning. Vegetables can be a part of a keto diet.
03:51You just have to know which vegetables to choose. Non-starchy vegetables are lower in carbohydrates than
03:56starchy vegetables. And I have a video that breaks down which vegetables fit into which category if you
04:02want the full breakdown. However, you can get in the ballpark by thinking of starchy vegetables as those
04:08that tend to be heavy and dense like potatoes, corn, and butternut squash. Non-starchy vegetables,
04:15on the other hand, are light and airy, making them a perfect choice for a salad. And this brings us to
04:22our lunchtime salad that is included in this keto menu. Now, all varieties of lettuce are low in calories and
04:29carbs, but they provide you with a lot of hunger-satisfying volume. For instance, this salad
04:35has three cups of salad greens that only add 38 calories and 4.5 grams of carbs, three of which
04:41are fiber. Including a salad in your daily keto diet also supplies you with a perfect vehicle for
04:47bringing healthy fats into your daily diet. Adding fat to your diet helps your body transition away from
04:53a primarily carb-burning metabolism to a fat-burning metabolism. So, for this salad, I added 3 tablespoons
05:01of feta cheese crumbles, 2 tablespoons of walnuts, and 1 tablespoon of raw sunflower seeds, and 1.5 tablespoons
05:09of full-fat dressing. Those salad toppers added more than 30 grams of fat to the day's menu. If you are new
05:17to keto thinking about getting started or you hit a rut with your keto diet, I encourage you to include
05:24a daily salad like this one. The volume and high fat content will work together to keep hunger away,
05:31allowing you to go longer between meals. And that is something that you want if weight loss is your
05:37goal because it allows your blood sugar and insulin levels to drop to a point where fat release from body
05:43fat is encouraged. Any meat or fish will be low in carbohydrates, so the great thing about a keto or
05:51low-carb lifestyle is that you can eat at a restaurant as easily as eating at home. For this
05:56demonstration, I am using fish, specifically cod, but I could have just as easily included chicken or
06:04steak for this keto meal plan. To make this keto cod recipe, I preheated the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
06:11and placed one pound of cod fillets in a baking dish with one tablespoon each of avocado oil and lemon
06:18juice. I then seasoned the fillets with a tablespoon of basil and a dash of salt and pepper. And that is
06:25really all you need to do with a firm white fish like cod. But for this recipe, I topped the fillets with
06:32slices of tomato and a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese before placing them in the oven for about 20 minutes.
06:38And here again, you can download all of these recipes by visiting my blog post at drbeckyfitness.com
06:45slash keto menu. They are free to download and include the metric measurements for those of you
06:50outside of the U.S., as well as the calories and macros. So you can make this full day of keto eating
06:58today if you would like to. Now, one thing about fish is that it is not particularly high in fat.
07:04Each serving of this recipe contains just over 5 grams of fat. Because my dinner entree is low in fat,
07:12I am adding fat to it with tartar sauce. When you follow a keto diet, something you need to look out
07:18for is condiments and sauces. Many of them contain sugar and high fructose corn syrup that can sabotage
07:25your weight loss and knock you out of ketosis. Fortunately, you can whip up homemade tartar sauce with
07:30just three ingredients that you may already have in your kitchen. I made this recipe by stirring
07:36together a quarter cup of full-fat mayonnaise, one tablespoon of dill relish, and one teaspoon of
07:44lemon juice. A serving, which is one-fourth of the recipe, adds 12 grams of fat to our keto dinner. I am
07:53also adding more vegetables and boosting the fat content of this keto meal with bacon roasted brussels
08:00sprouts. You have heard it said that bacon makes everything better. Well, that is certainly true
08:05with brussels sprouts. You want to select a good quality bacon that does not contain added sugar or
08:12similar items like maple syrup because those things will add carbohydrates to your meal.
08:18To make this recipe, I used a pound of brussels sprouts. I cut them in half and drizzled a half
08:24a tablespoon of avocado oil over them to allow the salt and pepper to stick. I then added a quarter
08:30pound of chopped bacon to the sprouts and put them in a 450 degree oven for about 30 minutes until they
08:37were slightly charred around the edges, which is what really makes them delicious. Like my similar video
08:43where I shared a full day of eating a low-carb diet, this keto video was made for YouTube,
08:50which is a broad audience. The meals in front of me add up to just under 1200 calories, which will be
08:56low for some, but this works well for demonstration purposes because it is easier to add low-carb,
09:02high-fat items rather than to subtract them. When we break down the macros for this keto day of eating,
09:09we see that it contains less than 25 total grams of carbohydrates making up about 8% of the daily
09:17calories with just over 20% coming from protein and more than 70% of the day's calories coming from
09:24fat. Many of you will find this macronutrient breakdown allows you to lose weight and get into
09:31ketosis, which is that state in which your body releases body fat to produce ketones. However, just
09:39eating keto for one day will not give you those results. When you switch from a high-carb diet
09:45to a keto diet, you force your body to run on fatty acids and ketones rather than carbohydrates.
09:53This transition is great, but it takes time. The world we live in is filled with carbohydrates,
09:59so without a plan, it can be hard to avoid temptations and stick with a keto diet long enough
10:05to gain the benefits. If you would like to have a plan to follow, you can check out my 21-day keto
10:11challenge. During the challenge, you will eat a keto diet with daily menus containing no more than 25
