The Complete Three-Volume Set of "The 7-Day Ketogenic Diet Meal Plan"

Do you hate diets?

Weight-loss can be yummy…

…if you know the secrets of Ketogenic eating.

Don't sacrifice taste for a healthy diet. A ketogenic diet forces your body to burn fat as the primary source of energy.

What is the Ketogenic Diet?

Your body uses what you eat to give you energy. Carbohydrates raise your blood sugar levels, and your body reacts by producing insulin to deal with it.

Why is this bad?

Insulin helps change excess glucose to fat.

What if your body learned to fuel itself by burning fat?

A ketogenic diet is designed to make your body burn fat instead of carbohydrates. It is comprised mainly of a high fat diet with low carb foods and normal levels of protein. Carbohydrates are kept below 60g and preferably around the 20g to 40g level on a daily basis.

Don't feel like you have to give up on your favorite foods. With recipes like the low carb peanut butter cookies or the chocolate mousse, you can still feed your sweet tooth without feeling guilty.

This book provides you with 21 daily ketogenic diet meal plans. That's a full 3 weeks of meals, or 105 recipes, to help you organize your meals that will turn your body into a fat burning furnace.

Inside each volume are the following types of meals:

• Breakfast - 7 recipes
• Lunch - 7 recipes
• Snacks - 14 recipes
• Dinner - 7 recipes

Bonuses are available for each volume in the set.

From Volume 1:
A recipe for 'Keto Rolls'; this recipe serves as a great substitute for those missing the taste and feel of bread without adding on the additional carbs. 

From Volume 2:
A recipe for 'Keto Almond Bread'; this recipe serves as a great substitute for those missing the taste and feel of bread without adding on the additional carbs. 

From Volume 3:
A recipe for 'Posh Coffee'. On those mornings where you don’t really feel like something to eat, substitute it with this thirst quenching and tasty coffee. 

Printable versions of the meal plans and shopping lists are also available with these bonus recipes.

You’ll love the results, because watching the weight come off, without hating what you’re eating, makes all the difference in the world.

Introduction

What is the Ketogenic Diet?

Your body uses what you eat to give you energy. Carbohydrates raise your blood sugar levels, and your body reacts by producing insulin to deal with it. Unfortunately, insulin aids in converting glucose to fat, which is then stored in your body’s cells.

When following the Ketogenic Diet, it is best to keep your carbohydrate level to below 60g, and preferably around the 20g to 40g level. Slight overage once in a while is not too bad, but where possible less than 50g is the best way to go. This keeps the body in a state of ketosis, whereby the body is burning fat to give a steady stream of energy.

Moderate to high levels of protein and fats are also vital ingredients in ketosis with the fat providing fuel to burn for adequate energy levels. Whilst the actual dietary ingredients of ketosis are important, sensible exercise also plays a big part in losing weight and fine tuning the body’s metabolism.

It is essential that you consult your doctor or health professional before embarking on any radical changes in your diet, particularly if you have a lifestyle illness such as diabetes, IBS or any other disease that may be affected by a change in diet.

Most participants of this diet do find that it changes their lives for the good, and creating tasty recipes is a good way to keep their plan in check.

In terms of beverages, drink as much water as possible, but you are also allowed green tea or black coffee. Avoid fizzy drinks, limit alcohol (one drink is fine) and no fruit juices.

The menu recipes are designed for up to 4 people. Every person has a different level of carbohydrate tolerance and participates in a different level of daily exercise. To truly work with a ketogenic diet, you must find your level of carbohydrate tolerance, so a little trial and error or experimentation may be needed. You may mix and match the meal recipes in this book. The 7-day meal plan is merely an example.

If you are trying to lose weight, calorie intake is also important. For men, a daily intake of below 2,000 calories is acceptable. For women, the daily intake is around 1,600 calories. It is difficult to estimate the level of calories for children, as they do expend energy at school and play times, and their metabolism tends to be much faster. It may be necessary for you as an individual to take smaller portions of certain recipes in order to keep your calorie intake at a sensible level.

Day 1

Mexican Baked Eggs

Spicy eggs baked in the oven with peppers and chorizo is an unusual dish with a dash of chilli to add spice. This dish can also be made with pancetta cubes if the chorizo is not to your taste.

Servings: 4

Preparation Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10-15 minutes

Ingredients:

2 green bell peppers, core and seeds removed and sliced into strips

1 x 8oz/225g chopped canned tomatoes in natural juice

8oz/225g chorizo, cubed

8 eggs

Salt and ground pepper to taste

2 tsp mild chilli powder

Method:

Heat oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.

In an ovenproof large low-sided pan, or 2 pans, similar to a skillet or frying pan, put the chorizo and peppers in over a medium heat. There is no need for oil as the chorizo provides its own oil.

Cook until softened, remove from the heat.

Crack the eggs separately in cups, to make it easier to place in the pan.

Pour in the chopped tomatoes (half into each pan if you are using two) stir in the chilli powder and season.

Pour the eggs onto the top of the mix, bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Check to see that the eggs are cooked to your liking.

Serve from the oven to the table.

Lettuce Chicken Wraps

Really easy, and a change from bread wraps or sandwiches, these are wrapped in crisp iceberg lettuce.

Servings: 4

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

4 small chicken breasts, cooked, or leftover roast chicken (about 8oz/450g)

4 large leaves from an iceberg or other crisp lettuce

2 tsp mild curry powder

2 tbsp mayonnaise

2 or 3 radishes, sliced and cut in half

Method:

Using either the freshly cooked chicken breasts or the leftover chicken finely shredded or sliced.

Mix the chicken, radishes and mayonnaise with the curry powder until combined.

Lay out each large lettuce leaf and place a quarter of the mixture on one side, leaving space at either end.

Roll up the leaves, tucking the edges in as you go. Serve.

Tuna Provencale Salad

A tasty tuna salad with hints of Provence and packed with healthy protein and fats. Tuna is a classic fish to use on a ketogenic diet, either freshly grilled or from a can – always try to find tuna in spring water, definitely not in brine to keep the sodium content down.

Servings: 4

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 8 minutes (for the hard boiled eggs)

Ingredients:

1lb/425g canned tuna in spring water

2 fresh eggs, hard boiled for 8 minutes and shelled, cut into quarters

Small handful of black pitted olives, chopped (about 8 olives)

2 small tomatoes, cut into quarters

3 inch/8cm piece of cucumber, diced

1 small red onion, cut into thin rings

1 cos or iceberg lettuce, washed and broken into pieces

3 tbsp olive oil

Juice of 2 lemons

Ground black pepper to taste

1 tbsp mayonnaise per person, if required

Method:

Drain the tuna and place into a bowl.

Break the lettuce into pieces and place in a large salad bowl for serving. Mix in the tomatoes, cucumber and red onion. Set aside.

Mix the olive oil with the lemon juice and ground black pepper to taste. Toss into the salad and mix well.

Divide the salad between 4 plates, and crumble over the tuna with your fingers. Top with 2 quarters of the hard-boiled egg and sprinkle over the chopped olives.

Serve with a tablespoon of mayonnaise per person, if required.

Peanut Butter Cookies

These cookies are delicious for a mid-morning or afternoon snack, or even in a lunchbox for children or adults. Smooth peanut butter is a great addition to a ketogenic diet.

Servings: 24 medium-sized cookies (serve 2 each, save the rest)

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10-12 minutes

Ingredients:

3½oz/110g smooth peanut butter

2oz/55g butter

2 large eggs

5oz/140g coconut flour

5fl.oz/150ml coconut oil

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp vanilla extract

Pinch salt

Method:

Heat oven to 350°F/180°C/Gas Mark 4.

Line 2 flat baking trays with parchment paper.

Cream together the peanut butter and butter until combined and fluffy. Add the eggs, coconut oil and vanilla extract and gently mix together until smooth.

Above the bowl, sift in the coconut flour, baking soda and pinch of salt and mix until combined with no lumps.

Roll into medium sized balls, place on baking sheet and press lightly with a fork to make a round cookie shape. Leave enough space between each as the cookies will spread.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until firm and lightly golden. Leave to cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from the parchment paper. Place on a wire rack until completely cool.

Keep remaining cookies from the batch in an airtight container; they will last for up to 5 days.

Citrus and Herb Chicken

Citrus flavors pair very well with chicken, giving it a delicious tang and zesty taste and aroma. A lovely crisp salad goes well with this dish. Make sure you use the zest of both the lemons and limes; it adds a different dimension to the meal.

Servings: 4

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

4 x 5oz/140g skinless and boneless chicken breasts

4 or 5 tbsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Juice and zest of 2 lemons

Juice and zest of 1 lime
