I'm really thankful for the support and insight provided by the Planet as I begin my ketogenic journey. One thing that surprised me is the number of Planeteers that have done a keto diet, are on a keto diet currently, or are contemplating a ketogenic diet.

There have been offers to share favorite recipes so I thought it might be a good idea to let everyone learn something new from each other. If you have a tasty keto recipe and want to share it, please post it in this thread. If at all possible, please include calories, fat, protein, and carb content. (If you don't have them, not a big deal.)

Once again, thanks to the Planet for sharing your recipes, not only with me, but with everyone else.

As for breakfast I get a large foil baking pan add 2 dozen eggs,ham,sausage,onion,cheese and mushroom and bake.It warms up great,so I have a slice each morning with sour cream and salsa.

Also for a snack if you like chocolate i highly suggest the Atkins chocolate milkshake at 2 net carbs,it's damn filling too.

Because your cholesterol levels are not directly related to how much you consume...

Then when I get hungry again I will eat a substantive meal. Nothing special, just a meal. Whatever that might be. I don't count anything, eat my veggies, etc. I work from home so I dine at home Sandwiches, burrito's, bulk food I've prepared for the week (Lasagna, Chicken Alfredo w/Bowtie pasta, Spaghetti, Chili).

At night I'll eat a candy bar or some other chocolate as I have an insatiable sweet tooth (for chocolate).

I also have a pretty high metabolism.

Just started yesterday. I had a bacon, cheese omelette and a ribeye for dinner. Looking for more ideas. Today I bacon, eggs and sausage.

...or just do moderation and you eat whatever you want.

My recipe:

Purchase steak
Season the outside as you see fit
Put steak on very hot grill for 5 minutes
Eat steak

I went from 185 to 170 in a few months of Keto. I'm now in a slow carb type of diet. I typically only eat carbs at lunch now and do a lot of intermittent fasting. I think intermittent fasting is a big key for me. I eat my last meal about 6 or 7 and don't eat until about noon the next day.

Also, this is a recipe repository, so I'll leave a few meals:

Breakfast: Eggs with veggies and avocado (typically Spinach or Broccoli) with Butter and MCT Oil coffee.

Lunch: Big Salad with Protein (Salmon or Chicken). *NO Sugar in the dressing. This can usually be Blue Cheese or simply Avocado oil and lemon.

Dinner: I love lean, grass-fed beef or wild game (Elk or Deer) with veggies. (Asparagus, Peppers, Mushrooms, Broccoli are some of my faves)

Snacks: Almonds, Pistachios, Celery with Peanut Butter

My cholesterol was super high before going on the diet (triglycerides were off the charts) but now my numbers are right around normal range, my blood pressure has dropped, and my A1c is back into normal range.

Thanks. The salad seems like a good idea. Salsa would be a good dressing as well, especially if using chicken or beef.

Not much for actual recipes in here, I'll try to add some when I get time.

Egg roll in a bowl:

Brown 1-2 lbs breakfast sausage.
Add ginger to taste, maybe 1/2 tsp (the dried/powdered actually works better than fresh in this recipe imo).
1 tsp soy sauce (I prefer low sodium).

Once that's cooked a bit a dump in a full bag of shredded cabbage/cole slaw. Cook until cabbage is tender, drizzle with sesame oil (little goes a long way) stir and serve.

I cook this dish by feel more than measurements. I like 2lbs of sausage so it's a bit meatier. You can add red pepper flakes, cayenne, or sriracha to spice it up.

This is a great keto meal because it's fast, cheap, 1 pan, easy. Having a few of these quick go-to recipes makes it much easier to stick with this diet.

I just started on Keto about 8 weeks ago. Lost about 10 lbs and have had a couple of days of breakdown in between. This is probably the only diet have been somewhat successful on since I consider myself a foodie.

/r/keto has been really helpful for anyone that is interested in doing it

I would be worried about long-term consequences of being acidotic. Can't be good on the kidneys as a life-long diet.

Not sure if you're referring to ketoacidosis? Obviously is a serious issue with diabetics but has nothing to do with being in a state of nutritional ketosis.

I am not sure most people eat low carb enough to actually be in ketoacidosis as much as you think. Even 20 carbs a day will kick most people out. It's fine to do in short term bursts, but I agree, going no carb all the time isn't really smart or healthy. You can cause metabolic damage doing the no carb thing for an extended duration, causing your body to resist further weight loss. If you are doing any sort of intense exercise (lifting), you need at least a little bit of carbs to function at optimally. I shoot for between 50-100g carbs on my low carb days and 200-300g carbs once a week on a "cheat" day. Nutrient partioning is a big thing as well and those carbs should be focused pre and post workout for increased muscular uptake and decreased fat storage.
