Often I’m asked what I had to give up in order to live this lifestyle. I’ll hear people comment that they can’t diet at all because they don’t want to give up their favorite foods. I tell them not only did I not give anything up, but I’ve added to my menu. Deserts on Keto? I even enjoy more deserts than I ever had before to my diet. The fact of the matter is, with Keto, you don’t have to give up anything. The reason I call it a lifestyle is that I’ve learned how to make all of my favorite foods, breakfasts, lunches and dinners with alternative, healthier ingredients. I’ve also learned how to make my favorite deserts and try new recipes. Now when I satisfy a craving I don’t have to feel guilty about it or worry that my insulin is going to spike.
My partner and I both love Lemon Cupcakes and he requested that I find a recipe and make them. I went to the internet, did my research, and I found a video on YouTube and followed it. I then decided to film myself making this recipe to show you how easy it is to make, or tried. You can watch it here, https://youtu.be/z-rz1GTIgI8. I’m grateful to the chefs that take the time to share their creations with the rest of us so we can continue on this magnificent journey to healthy living. Although you will have to pay for ingredients, equipment, etc., you don’t have to pay for advice and guidance. I am not opposed to buying cookbooks from the people that have taken the time to create these magnificent recipes though.
Resources
Search engines on the internet will generate an abundance or resources for you and start you on your Keto journey. There are a few that I follow, such as drberg.com, lowcarblove.com, ketofocus.com and many more. At these sites you can get recipes, dietary advice, health tips and so much more. Many times these sites are also associated with their own YouTube channels. Simply go to Google or YouTube and type in what you are looking for. You’ll have many options to choose from. Type in “Deserts on Keto”, and see what happens. I’m so grateful for those that have taken the leap to put their recipes out there. They really help those of us who are not so comfortable in the kitchen. I’ve found my own niche to help others.
