Finding a few keto recipes is only the first hurdle in learning how to transform a kitchen into a keto wonderland. Keto ingredients do act the same as their traditional counterparts do in recipes. For this reason, ratios of certain ingredients might need to be adjusted, and other ingredients might need to be added to make the recipe work. If someone is accustomed to cooking with traditional recipes, these adjustments can make a keto recipe look strange and off-balance. Learning how to read recipes is an essential step in being able to make keto meals without them.

Someone who practices keto also needs to remember to remain diligent about keeping track of how much food they are taking in a day and what kinds of food they are. Ensuring the ratio of fats to proteins to carbs stays the same is an integral part of reaching and maintaining ketosis. Once a person can master this step, they might be ready to start creating keto recipes on their own or spin-off recipes, they would find to tailor them specifically to their meal plan or preferences.

Ingredients in keto recipes have to be modified to meet the diet’s needs: no carbs and more fats. This means substitutions such as almond flour can be frequently found in several keto recipes. Nevertheless, this does not mean that the ingredients will act the same way as common ingredients might. Almond flour, for example, is an incredibly dense and dry flour. This means it will not rise the way white flour will and needs extra moisture to reach the same consistency for batters and doughs. In recipes with almond flour, it is not uncommon to see many eggs, or a mix of water, oil, and almond milk to get it to its needed consistency.

This book covers the following topics:

• Breakfast

• Mains

• Sides

• Seafood

• Poultry

• Snacks

• Desserts

…And much more

Cooking all these meals is only beneficial; however, if a person knows what nutrients they are gathering from them. It can help you see the nutrient goals for a day so a person can adjust recipes - once they are comfortable doing so - to get in the necessary fat or protein in a day. This task is not an eyeball it kind of job, though. To reach ketosis and keep the body in that state, a person needs to be sure they are getting enough fats and restricting carbs enough not to feed the body glucose. There are just few different ways to measure these things and keep track of the progress.

Most people use a keto calculator to keep track of macronutrients (a.k.a. fats and proteins). These can be easily discovered online and are relatively simple to use and much cheaper than buying a keto meter. However, keto meters might be a more accurate way for some people to measure their ketones and ensure they are remaining in ketosis.
