About this ebook
Introduction
Hello, reader, and welcome to a world where cheese is king, bacon is a food group, and avocados receive more attention than the subsequent celebrity controversy. Welcome to the ketogenic (or keto, for the cool kids) world! You're on the right road if you're picturing a year-long festival of cheese strings and bacon strips—but there's much more to it. And we're here to demystify and declutter, with a dash of humor thrown in for good measure.
Let's get into the science of keto without making you snooze or look for a dictionary. The ketogenic diet is built around a simple idea: burn fat, not sugar. Carbohydrates (sugars) typically give our bodies immediate energy. It's comparable to the body's favored junk food binge. When its regular supply of sweets (a.k.a. carbohydrates) is taken off, it switches to burning stored fat, generating ketones—a kind of backup power generator. This metabolic state is referred to as ketosis. Now, if only we could solve our real-world power shortages with cheese...
Apart from becoming the envy of every dairy lover, there are other advantages to living a ketogenic lifestyle. Some devotees report increased mental clarity, consistent energy levels, weight loss, and improved skin. Yes, you may be blazing brighter than the neon "Open" sign at your favorite pizza joint (don't worry, a keto pizza recipe is included!).
In terms of macronutrients, because we're all nerds deep down, a ketogenic diet focuses on:
Fat: 70-80% of total daily consumption
Protein content: 20-25%
5-10% carbohydrates
To many, the preceding would read as "a lot of cheese, adequate chicken, and maybe a lettuce leaf or two." While this is a pleasant and delectable rendition, our journey will be more subtle and varied. By the end of this book, the lettuce on your plate will no longer be a mute observer. It might even take center stage!
"So, do I bid farewell to my beloved chocolate chip cookies and wave hello to a lonely life of leafy greens and butter?" you may be wondering. Not to worry, this isn't a sad or depressing story. Even your cookies may be keto-compliant with the appropriate recipes! And believe me, after sampling some of the sweets we've planned, you might forget about the old sugary ones. (All right, don't hold me to that. We've all had sentimental cookie moments.)
While the keto diet eliminates many carbohydrates, it does not eliminate flavor. The exciting part is that fat has flavor! Consider this: would you prefer a plain boiled potato or one coated in butter and herbs? There's a reason our taste buds rejoice when we eat creamy, fatty meals. They are inherently rich and filling. And with this book, you'll discover how to balance that richness with spices, herbs, and other keto-friendly ingredients that will leave you wondering why you ever desired carbs in the first place.
Expect to see some classic favorites reinvented and other new culinary pleasures as we embark on a year of keto-friendly cooking. Consider it a culinary tour across the Marvel Universe, with each cuisine containing a distinct superpower, from breakfasts stronger than Thor's hammer to desserts more enticing than Loki's mischief.
Before we begin our culinary expedition, consider the following advice: Every person's keto journey is unique. Some may dive headfirst into the cheese pool, while others may put their toes in and enjoy a more balanced variety of greens, meats, and, yes, some beautiful fats. Listen to your body, adjust as needed, and most importantly, enjoy the culinary journey!
Grab your apron (and perhaps a bit of cheese for the road), and let's begin your keto daily journey!
