KETO SUPPLIES DELIVERED TO YOU
How to Stay Keto When Faced With a Severe Social Environment Such As The One We All Face Right Now
When there is a time of great challenge, often people set aside their Keto lifestyle.
They revert to old patterns and old foods. Then they may be disappointed with themselves weeks later.
This article is to help you succeed at Keto right now. If you are confined to your home like so many folks are, this is what you need to succeed.
The Most Important Food to Eat Right Now
Whether you buy it or make it, chicken broth has been known as “liquid penicillin” for years.
It is high in minerals and electrolytes. Have the broth alone or add vegetables and the chicken meat if you want to make it a complete meal. Add spices, hot sauce or whatever you need to meet your family’s palate.
Staying Keto is Actually Very Easy
The cornerstone of Staying Completely Keto is fresh, whole food. Be prepared to substitute if something isn’t available. If you had your heart set on beef for dinner and you can only get chicken, then make the switch.
You can switch from animal or fish protein from one to another freely. If you wanted a certain vegetable like broccoli and only string beans are available, make the switch.
Be flexible to plan based on what your store has fresh. Frozen vegetables are a better choice than canned because of the enzymes in the food.
Still canned vegetables are okay in a pinch.
The Keto Shopping List
- Frozen meat keeps well in the freezer for up to four months. Steer clear of processed meats. Chicken, fish, and hamburger are all available in the freezer section.
- Frozen vegetables. Cauliflower rice, broccoli, peppers, spinach, kale, turnip greens, and mushrooms are all available.
- Canned and jarred vegetables. Tomato, onion, mushroom, cucumber, peppers.
- Fermented or pickled vegetables. Tomato, celery, cucumber, beets. - Canned and dried meat. Beef jerky, dried fish, chicken jerky, tuna, sardines, oysters, canned chicken, hard salami.
- Fresh meat to freeze for later. Bacon, steak, sausage, bratwurst, ham, ground turkey and shrimp are good options. You may not find everything on your list. Stock up on the things you know the family will eat.
- Eggs can be frozen! Portion them into an ice cube tray, wrap it in cling wrap and freeze. Make sure to keep them in a freezer safe bag. When you’d like to use an egg, simply crack one out like an ice cube. Thaw them out to use in baking. For scrambled eggs, drop the cube into the heated pan.
- Fresh vegetables to freeze for later. Zucchini, squash, mushroom, peppers, asparagus, broccoli.
- Some dairy does freeze well. Portioned cheese, cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, sour cream. When thawed, things like heavy whipping cream and sour cream will separate. Don’t worry, they are fine and work well in casseroles and for cooking.
- Stock up on dried spices. Spices will be your best friend when it comes to making something tasty from limited ingredients. Salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, dried onion, dill, cumin, oregano, parsley and basil. These will add amazing flavor to your meals.
Prepare Healthy Meals for Your Family.
Keto and meal prepping are a match made in heaven. If you’ve never meal prepped before, this is the perfect time to start.
Staying on track is important to your success when eating keto. Having a go to meal ready will save you from going over on carbs.
Take a day and have a goal of cooking 2-3 keto meals. Calculate your macros and portion each meal out to one serving size. If you are using the baggie system, write what the meal is on the bag before freezing. Before reheating place the bags in a warm bowl of water.
It will easily slide out onto a bowl or plate in 5 minutes time. Then microwave the frozen meal.
Ways to Stay Healthy in Challenging Times
The most important, helpful contribution we can make is to simply stay home. Practicing social distancing accomplishes that.
Remember, though you may feel well, staying indoors keeps others safe. Those with weakened immune systems are most at risk.
- Wash your hands for 30 seconds, often. Once every hour and a half to two hours is a good time frame. Use antibacterial soap and warm water, as warm as you can stand.
- Stay home as much as possible, even if you feel fine.
- Order groceries online. It’s so easy to select your favorite keto foods from the grocery store website. This is one of the most frequented gathering places now. The fewer people shopping at one time, the better. This also provides work for delivery drivers.
