28 DAY ACCELERATED MEAL PLAN FOR WEIGHT LOSS & OPTIMAL HEALTH 28 DAY ACCELERATED MEAL PLAN ABOUT ME My life completely transformed the day that I discovered the Ketogenic (or Low Carb High Fat) Diet. After YEARS of searching and failing, I finally found not only what works best for my body but for my mind and soul as well. Keto has become an extremely successful way of life for me ­ I went from living most of my teenage and adult years struggling with food fixation and excess weight. At my highest I was over 160 pounds and miserably uncomfortable in my skin, strongly disliking my body and myself for failing at being maintaining a slim figure and attempting every deprivation diet and intensive exercise regime on the face of the earth with no consistent success, only dissapointment. The day that I discovered keto, all of that changed. With commitment to this new nourishing whole foods way of life of "low carb, adequate protein and high fat", I delved into research, recipe creating and testing. Equipped with the feedback of blood glucose and ketone measuring, I got down to my dream health and dream physique of 125­129 pounds, all the while enjoying delicious high fat foods, healthy proteins with very limited carbs and no required exercise! (woohoo!) It almost seems too good to be true, only it is! I had always believed I would be dieting and had accepted living without much fat or flavor in my food, in order to keep my caloric intake as low as possible. And all of that sacrifice and over exercise never gave me anything but feeling deprived and hungry all of the time. Until I found the ketogenic lifestyle that is! With these accelerated meal plans, I'm sharing meals that I have tested for high ketones and low blood sugar ­ the combination for being in the optimal energy and fat burning ketone zone of 1.5­3.0 mmol. This way of life is my passion and I love to share these meal plans with people who want to see the results they've always wanted. Nothing is more exciting to me than someone new making the courageous decision to attempt change and go against the predominating mindset of the crowd, to transform and enhance their quality of life. Way to go!! With warmth and encouragement, Vanessa. KETOGENICGIRL 28 DAY ACCELERATED MEAL PLAN KEYS to SUCCEED F Oplan R R A P I Dis toWassist E I Gyou H TinLbecoming O S S &keto­adapted. Being The purpose of this meal program keto­adapted means that your body has switched OPT IM A L Hfrom E AaLprimary T H fuel source of glucose, to a primary fuel source of fat. Our bodies are designed to be able to burn one or the other, but one must be dominant. The key here is that as long as glucose is the dominant fuel source, your body will not touch the fat on the body. Body fat is stored fuel, and as long as glucose METHODOLOGY is readily available, the body has no need or ability to go near the stored fat for energy even if you have a caloric deficit in your calories in vs. calories out. It would be like going to the storage to get firewood when you tons of it around your house ready to burn. The most important tool that will help you to make sure that you are not consuming too much glucose for your body to turn to it's stored fuel and burn body fat is a glucometer. This device can show you either your blood sugar, your blood ketones, or both. At the very least, testing your fasting blood sugar in the morning when you wake up is going to be essential to your success in reaching your goals. KEY NUMBERS TO LOOK FOR: As long as your blood sugar is below 90 mg/l or 5.0 mmol, your brain is being fueled from ketones and burning fatty acids, which means you are burning fat!

Ketogenic diets reduce carbohydrate intake as low as possible, with a moderated protein intake and a high amount of fat from healthy sources. The ideal numbers below are important but what most people miss is that in addition to the macro numbers, the most important thing is keeping protein BELOW your PERSONAL threshold and carbs below 20 total and around 10­15 NET. Too much protein consumed is converted by the body to glucose in the bloodstream and then you may as well have eaten lots of carbohydrates. The way to find out your personal protein threshold is to test your fasting blood glucose and track how much protein you've had (or use the numbers in this meal plan and then see what pushes your blood sugar above 80 mg/l and what number keeps it below that. The numbers in this meal plan should put you at or below 80 mg/l. 0-10% Carbs 15-20% Protein 75-85% Fat KETOGENICGIRL 28 DAY ACCELERATED MEAL PLAN WEIGHT LOSS FOR RAPID WEIGHT LOSS & This may come as a surprise O to P you, weight T Ihowever, MAL H E A Lloss T Hcomes from the food choices we make, and muscle gain comes from working out and weight training. Weight loss is not about moving your body, it is about what you eat and the timing of when you eat it, and how that affects your hormones, especially the hormone insulin which regulates fat METHODOLOGY storage and fat burning . Most people miss this key element because we have wrongly been taught that weight loss is about creating caloric deficits. DO I NEED TO EXERCISE? Exercise is not a requirement for losing weight. Exercise should be for enjoyment ­ not for pain and suffering. EMBRACING good feeling MOVEMENT is where the most benefits come from. "No pain, no gain" is absolutely not true. Why would you want to be feeling pain in your body, when pain is your body's way of telling you something is wrong? Your body wants to feel good so embrace movement that you enjoy such as walking, yoga, or follow the inspiration to ride a bike. We should avoid being constantly sedentary, but again, movement does not create weight loss. Movement enhances your mood, and being in a good state will make you more likely to make better choices such as sticking to your diet goals. It indirectly helps you in your weight loss and healing, supports good circulation and makes you stronger, among many other benefits. Rather than looking to "burn calories" with hard exercise, rely on macronutrient management as well as the timing of your meals for weight loss; rely on exercise for building muscle and great moods! Plus the more you enjoy your movement, the more likely you are to do more of it! This meal plan DOES NOT include any prescription for exercise because it is not required for weight loss. I encourage people to find some good feeling ways of moving their bodies and this will vary for people, as will the intensity. If you love to work out, go for it! If you are not a gym bunny, it will not prevent you from achieving your weight loss goals.

See my videos on testing here: KETOGENICGIRL 28 DAY ACCELERATED MEAL PLAN F O RRESETTING RAPID WEIG T LOSS & INSULIN &HINTERMITTENT OPTIMAL HEALTH FASTING FOR WEIGHT LOSS When we are constantly eating M a.k.a. and E T"grazing" HODO L drinking O G Y beverages all day, insulin is also being constantly released and signals our bodies to store fat. It is only in the absence of insulin that our bodies are not prevented from accessing & burning stored energy in the form of fat. In this state, our hormone leptin is no longer suppressed. Leptin is our satiety hormone and tells us when we are full. On "high carb low fat" diets, insulin suppresses the release of leptin, which causes us to never really "feel" full even if our bodies are full of food. This is a big part of why ketogenic diets are so effective. Not only do we fill up on fat, which is the least insulinogenic macronutrient, we also regain a sense of fullness from restored hormonal function including the release of leptin. This gives in turn generates less insulin "resistant" cells and more to insulin "sensitive" cells. In following the meal plan below, the most essential aspect is consuming these 2­3 meals (some people feel so full they skip the desert) within the prescribed window, and avoid eating anything in between the meals. There should be no snacking other than plain water, coffee or tea water between meals and outside the eating window. The absolute key to FAT BURNING and HIGH KETONES: Let your body fast between meals so that insulin levels will fall enough that your body can access stored energy in the form of body fat instead of storing it.

Only water, plain coffee or tea between meals and outside the eating window. KEY TO FAT BURNING & HIGH KETONES: Let your body fast between meals so that insulin will go low enough for your body to burn fat instead of storing it. IDEAL OPTION: water, Black coffee or tea outside eating window ONLY. OTHER OPTIONS: Anywhere up to 50 calories (shoot for 40 to be on the safe side) : up to 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, OR 1 cup of bone broth in the morning before the eating window. Unlimited water and black tea of coffee is allowed outside the eating window. Water with Stevia Water Drops (search the group for this) is acceptable but important not to overdo it. The goal is to limit your insulin release as much as possible as it tells the body not to burn fat when it is present.

G I R L Q. What is the 'electrolyte water' that I keep seeing posts about? A: It's important to keep your electrolytes up with bone broth or electrolytes. See recipes on this page! - RECIPES BONE BROTH Purchase any store made bone broth with no sugar added. At home recipe: Use the bones of 1 roasted chicken. Strip the meat and roast the bones in the oven if desired. Place in a slow cooker and add 10 cups of water (depending on the capacity of your cooker). Add 1 bay leaf, 1 chopped onion, 2-3 cloves of garlic, 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar. Cook on high for 1 hour, and then switch to low. Cook for up to 3 days then transfer to fridge and/or freezer. ELECTROLYTE DRINK (Recipe from Ketodietapp.com) provided by Stella Arthur (I recommend using the stevia and not the Erythritol or Swerve.) You can make it using the following: Ingredients (makes ~ 6 cups): 5 cups water or herbal tea of choice (~ 1.2 l) ½ cup lemon or lime juice (120 ml/ 4 fl oz) ½ tsp potassium chloride or lite salt ¼ tsp salt (I like pink Himalayan) - â…› tsp if too salty 2 tbsp Natural Calm magnesium supplement ¼ cup powdered Erythritol or Swerve (40 g/ 1.4 oz) Optional: 20-30 drops liquid Stevia or to taste 2 8 D A Y K E T O G E N I C G I R L C H A L L E N G E ! Q: Can we mix and match meals from other days or do we have to follow the plans exactly? A: You can re-do entire days from the plans and pick your favorite days to repeat, however cannot switch around the individual meals as each day is calculated for that day's specified macronutrient profile. Q: Why can't we drink water during meals? A: It is important for overall nutrition to limit drinking to 30 minutes before or after meals as to not to dilute digestive juices. This slows digestion down dramatically and taxes the body which drains energy! Q: Is drinking of water with some squeezed lemon juice okay on the 28 Day Challenge? A: Yes that is fine! Lemon does have some carbs in it however, so it is important to keep track of it and not treat it as a free food. Q: Should your macros change as you start to lose weight? Or does this 28 day meal plan work at all stages? A: The macros stay the same over the 28 days. Q: Should we take supplements on the 28 Day Plans? A: I do not include any supplements other than bone broth/electrolytes. Recipes can be found at the end of this appendix. 2 8 D A Y K E T O G E N I C G I R L C H A L L E N G E ! Q: For dessert, is it okay to eat it right after your dinner? A: Yes, it is okay to eat dessert right after dinner. Q: I’m not hungry but I noticed that I am somewhat irritable going without a meal or fasting. Is it natural? A: Yes, you are still adapting. Moods are affected by blood glucose and insulin. Q: What about my cycle? Can the time of the month kick you out of ketosis? A: Food cravings are highest in week 3 & 4 of the cycle in case the body became pregnant following ovulation, and this is also when there is maximum water retention. Women's cycles can also affect ketosis temporarily. Q: Would it be okay to repeat a day if you don't have time to cook? A: Yes. I don't recommend switching the meals out and around but you can repeat a full day as it is all calculated for the daily macros. Q: I'm feeling quite full from the meals. Do I have to eat them all? A: It is best to follow the plans but do not force yourself to eat if you are full. You could instead have a fat bomb such as 1-2 Tbsp of coconut oil or bulletproof coffee (BPC). 2 8 D A Y K E T O G E N I C G I R L C H A L L E N G E ! Q: Do all blood glucose machines test for ketones? A: The Abbott Precision Xtra and Freestyle Neo have compatibility for both blood glucose and ketone strips. See more in my Keto Shop by clicking Here! Q: What are the best blood sugar & ketone numbers? A: Blood sugar and ketones are inversely correlated, so as blood sugar goes down, ketones go up. Ideally for adaptation it is recommended to see a morning fasted blood glucose reading of below 90 mg/dl and ketones above 1.0. The optimal ketone zone is 1.0 - 3.0. Q: When is the best time to test? Do I HAVE to test on the challenge? A: The best time is first thing in the morning in a fasted state. This establishes a baseline. You do not have to test yourself or track food on the challenge as everything has been calculated for you. However, it is a great investment in your future health to get a monitor and test as you learn about your body's responses to various foods. Q: Can I test other times? What about urine test strips? A: Yes. Testing blood glucose 30 minutes after a meal shows the impact of that food on the body, blood and insulin sensitivity or resistance. Testing ketones at the end of the day will typically show your highest reading. Urine test strips are not reliable or accurate and stop working once you keto adapt. 2 8 D A Y K E T O G E N I C G I R L C H A L L E N G E ! Q: Is caffeine allowed on the challenge? A: It is allowed on the plans. However, for some, caffeine can stimulate too much of a glucose and insulin response. Alternatives are tea or a natural decaf if you can locate one (decaf coffee can be high in chemicals which will affect the body adversely). Q: My 8 hour window is up. Can I have a bit of ketogenic food? I'm struggling. A: I recommend sticking to the plans to maximize results if you can. However, if you are overly hungry then I recommend a fat bomb or spoonful coconut butter or oil. Fat does not stimulate insulin (the fat storage regulating hormone) as much as protein and carbohydrates. There are a couple of fat bombs in the meal plans starting on day 14, or use the newly added chocolate brownie bar which can be used as a fat bomb. (see last pages below of this FAQ/Appendix). Q: Do we have to stick to the exact daily meals on the plans or can we eat the ones we like only? A: It is up to you however each day is calculated specifically to meet the right keto macros! The challenge will work best if followed as it is laid out. Q: Can we only eat within an 8 hour window? What about eating late and bedtime? A: Yes, as fasting gives insulin a rest outside of the 8 hour window. It is important not to eat past 8 PM as well for optimal healing and weight loss, and getting to bed between 9 and 10 PM as this is when the body heals and burns fat. 2 8 D A Y K E T O G E N I C G I R L C H A L L E N G E ! Q: During this 8 hour window, we are allowed only 2 meals a day? A: Yes, you will see once you start to keto adapt, that your hunger goes way down as your satiety hormone leptin will no longer be suppressed. One you convert your body from a glucose burner to a fat burner, your body can use it's own fat stores and hunger dissipates. If you are overly hungry during the day you can add fat bombs while you are adjusting. Q: For breakfast, can we drink coffee first and start counting the 8 hour window from the first meal? A: You may have plain coffee or tea outside of the 8 hour feeding window. Q: How much time should pass between meals and our water drinking? A: It's best to avoid it 30 minutes before and after meals to not dilute the digestive juices which can be a huge energy drain for the body. It is recommended to space meals out according to your schedule and hunger. Q: Do I have to leave the FB Challenge Group after 28 Days? A: You do not need to leave the group. The coaching and guidance is for the first 28 days and is limited to following the plans and keto adapting. Many people choose to stay in the group to follow along, restart the 28 days, post encouraging or funny updates, and provide support and guidance for others joining and starting to learn keto for themselves! It is a wonderful keto community. 2 8 D A Y K E T O G E N I C G I R L C H A L L E N G E ! Q: How long does the body take to adjust? A: People can keto adapt in anywhere from a few days to a week, ranging up to 4-6 weeks. Keto adapting means you are burning fat instead of glucose. It all depends on your individual metabolic regulation or derangement and insulin sensitivity versus resistance as well as how strictly the plans are followed. Over time, you can become fat adapted which is a more permanent state of being fat fueled. Q: Do I have to track macros on the challenge? A: You do not need to track your macronutrients on the challenge as they have all been calculated for you! Q: Why are my ketones so high? A: Ketones should be ideally around the 1.0-3.0 range. Above 3.0 - 5.0 is usually from prolonged fasting. If your ketones are very elevated it can also be from exogenous ketones in supplements or MCT fats- when you supplement with them the meter reads the ketones not just from your own production of them but also the ones that have been consumed. Ketones go up through the day and the fasted readings are usually the lowest. (Ketones and blood sugar should ALWAYS be inversely correlated. If you have both high ketones and high blood sugar, test again, and see a doctor as soon as possible as it could be an indicator of an unknown pre-existing condition. It is important to see a physician before beginning the plans to ensure you have no pre-diabetes or conditions that might be adversely affected by a ketogenic diet). 2 8 D A Y K E T O G E N I C C H A L L E N G E !

Stir the egg yolks with a fork so that they are broken up. Remove from mixer and using a spatula, fold the egg yolks into the mixture, folding a few times until combined.

Ketogenic Diet: Pumpkin Spice Chia Pudding Yield: 4 Servings Prep time: 2 minutes Inactive time: 40 minutes Total time: 5-10 minutes Ingredients 1/4 Cup Pumpkin Puree (Recipe below, ingredients are a small or medium pumpkin, sea salt, coconut oil) 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk 2 Tbs Coconut Oil 1 Can Coconut Milk 1/4 Cup Organic Chia Seeds 3-4 drops Liquid Stevia (more or less depending on taste) 1/4 tsp Ginger Powder 1/4 tsp Nutmeg 1/4 tsp Ceylon Cinnamon 1/4 tsp Vanilla Bean (You may also use powder, or pure extract) Directions I used a small sized pumpkin and split it in half, removed the seeds and fibers, sprinkled it with sea salt and baked it on a coconut oil greased pan in the oven for 40 minutes. I removed the pumpkin from the oven once baked and let it cool, then used my hand blender to make it into puree. I saved the rest of the puree to make sugar free pumpkin pie next weekend! You can also use store bought canned pumpkin for this but not that canned pumpkin elevated blood sugar more which is not ideal for ketosis. P.S. I also baked the pumpkin seeds and covered them in coconut oil, stevia and all of the spices above and some pepper. Great as a crunchy topping on the pudding or with pumpkin cream soup! While the pumpkin is cooking, pour the coconut milk, coconut oil, stevia and spices in a blender. Once blended, add the pumpkin puree and blend. Remove the blender container and stir in the chia seeds lightly. If you blend the chia seeds as small as they are they come apart and don’t gel in the same way as when whole. Divide the pudding mixture into four glass mugs or ramekins. Set in the fridge for 1-3 hours, depending on how thick you like it to be. Remove from fridge when ready to eat and top with pure whipped cream (no sugar added) and Ceylon cinnamon if desired and enjoy! Nutritional Info: Makes 4 servings. DAY 4 Ketogenic Diet: Keto Crepes!

Ketogenic Crème Brulee Yield: 4 Servings Prep time: 2 minutes Inactive time: 3-4 hours Total time: 5-10 minutes Ingredients 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk 2 Cups Coconut Milk 6 Large Egg Yolks 3 Tbsp. Swerve (or Erythriol) 1 Tsp. Liquid Stevia (more or less depending on taste) 1/4 Tsp. Vanilla Bean (You may also use vanilla powder, or pure extract) Directions Pre-heat the oven to 150 C or 300 F. Heat the coconut milk and vanilla bean or extract on the stove over medium heat, until near boiling. Meanwhile, blend the egg yolks, 2 Tbsp. swerve and stevia in a bowl until thick and creamy. I like to do this in my mixer or with egg beaters but you can also whisk it for a few minutes. Remove the coconut milk and vanilla from the stove, and add into the egg yolk and sweetener mixture very slowly, while still beating. Gradually add the entire coconut milk mixture. Pour into 4 ramekins which you’ve place in a baking pan that is relatively deep. Pour boiling water around the ramekins and cover with aluminium foil loosely so the water steams the pudding. Bake for 30 minutes at 150 C or 300 F. Remove from oven when ready, the ramekins should still be a bit jelly like in the middle, not completely hardened. Cool in the fridge overnight ideally, or in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours. When ready to serve, remove and cover the top with 1/2 Tbsp. swerve per ramekin. Use either the broiler in your oven, or a blowtorch, melt the swerve. If you are using the oven, keep a close eye on them as the sugar cooks quite quickly. Let cool for a few minutes and serve with mint, berries and heavy sugar free whipped cream if desired! I served mine with a raspberry cranberry coulis that I sweetened with stevia. Nutritional Info: Makes 4 servings. DAY 6 Keto Eggs Scramble Ingredients 3 Eggs ¼ Cup Chopped Green Pepper 2 Tbsp.

Special Diet Information Gluten free, sugar free, low glycemic, low carb, grain free. Nutritional Info: Makes 8 Servings Most of the carbs from this recipe come from Swerve/Erythriol. The carbs from the lemon juice and rind are only 2.35 per serving (net carbs). According to sources this sweetener is indigestible fiber excreted out of the body without having any effect on blood sugar. Whether you count net carbs or not is up to you depending on your approach to lowcarb. For keto purposes, it has very low net carbs, however it the carbs/fiber in the sweetener may or may not stimulate an insulin response in you. You will need to test your blood sugar after consuming it to know.

Ketogenic Thai Green Curry Yield: 2 Servings Prep time: 10 minutes Total time: 20 minutes Ingredients Coconut oil | 1/2 Tbsp. x 2 Chicken Drumsticks | 4 Green Curry Paste (I like Aroy-D) | 1 Tbsp. Coconut Milk | 1 Can Fish Sauce | 1 Tsp. Lemon Juice | 1 Tbsp. Sea Salt | 1/8 Tsp. Swerve (or other sweetener of your choice) | 1 Tsp. Liquid Stevia | A few drops (modify to taste) Shirataki (Konjac preferable to Tofu) noodles (Optional) | 1/8 Tsp. Cashew nuts | 12 nuts Fresh Cilantro | a bunch Optional: If you are less strict with your carbs, fry up some onions, red or green cabbage, green peppers, and sliced cucumbers for extra thai curry flavor. I either make the chicken curry and noodles alone, or with veggies, depending on my carb intake that day. Directions Heat the coconut oil in a pan over the stove, and add the drumsticks when the pan is hot. These should cook for about 10-20 minutes depending on your stove, turning them over every 4-5 minutes to make sure they crisp up on all sides. In a separate stove top pot, add coconut oil and the green curry paste, and heat until fragrant, careful not to burn it. Stir it a bit with a wooden spoon, and then add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Keep cooking the chicken and also prepare shirataki noodles if you are using them (these are drained, boiled for one minute and then the moisture is removed with paper towel and or 1 minute in the microwave). Add fish sauce, sea salt, lemon juice, swerve and liquid stevia to the green curry mixture and cook for a total of about 10 minutes until the chicken is ready. At this point, you can either serve the curry poured over drumsticks, or as I prefer to, by removing the drumsticks from heat and chopping off all of the skin and chicken meat. Proceed by adding it back to the pan and add the green curry sauce. Heat cashews if desired on a stove top pan for a few minutes or serve them raw. Serve over shirataki noodles, or with cauliflower rice, the veggie mixture, or on it’s own depending on your carb intake for this meal. Top with cashews and fresh cilantro!

Set it to churn mode and it should be ready in about 30-40 minutes! I usually need to freeze mine a bit more for the colder ice cream consistency and taste, in a glass container.

Fry for 15 minutes in a deep fryer until crispy on the outside. For oven method preheat to 350 F (190 C) and bake 40 minutes in the oven. Serve with 1/2 cup boiled green beans and 2 tablespoons fermented sauerkraut. (Bubbies Sauerkraut is great and unsweetened) Keto Crème Brulee Yield: 4 Servings Prep time: 2 minutes Inactive time: 3-4 hours Total time: 5-10 minutes Ingredients 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk 2 Cups Coconut Milk 6 Large Egg Yolks3 Tbsp Swerve (or Erythriol) 1 Tsp. Liquid Stevia (more or less depending on taste) 1/4 Tsp. Vanilla Bean (You may also use vanilla powder, or pure extract) Directions Pre-heat the oven to 150 C or 300 F. Heat the coconut milk and vanilla bean or extract on the stove over medium heat, until near boiling. Meanwhile, blend the egg yolks, 2 Tbsp swerve and stevia in a bowl until thick and creamy. I like to do this in my mixer or with egg beaters but you can also whisk it for a few minutes. Remove the coconut milk and vanilla from the stove, and add into the egg yolk and sweetener mixture very slowly, while still beating. Gradually add the entire coconut milk mixture. Pour into 4 ramekins which you’ve place in a baking pan that is relatively deep. Pour boiling water around the ramekins and cover with aluminum foil loosely so the water steams the pudding. Bake for 30 minutes at 150 C or 300 F. Remove from oven when ready, the ramekins should still be a bit jelly like in the middle, not completely hardened. Cool in the fridge overnight ideally, or in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours. When ready to serve, remove and cover the top with 1/2 Tbsp swerve per ramekin. Use either the broiler in your oven, or a blowtorch, melt the swerve. If you are using the oven, keep a close eye on them as the sugar cooks quite quickly.Let cool for a few minutes and serve with mint, berries and heavy sugar free whipped cream if desired! I served mine with a raspberry cranberry coulis that I sweetened with stevia. Nutritional Info: Makes 4 servings.

Keto Lemon Curd Yield: 8 servings Prep time: 20 minutes Total time: 2 hours (refrigeration time) Ingredients Swerve (or Erythriol & Liquid Stevia) | 2/3 Cup Fresh Lemon Juice | 3/4 Cup Salt| 1/8 Tsp. Organic Egg Yolks | 6 Large Grass Fed Butter OR Butter flavored coconut oil | 3 Tbsp (For butter, cut into small cubes) Grated Lemon Rind | 2 Tsp. Directions Combine the Lemon juice, sweetener, salt and egg yolks into a small and heavy saucepan over medium heat. Heat while constantly stirring with a whisk, until it gets thick – this is about 6-7 minutes. Remove from heat and add butter, blending as it melts. Put the curd into ramekins or a bowl and chill completely. I like to spoon mine into shot glasses and top with some sprinkled coconut, or with mini sugar free meringues. Nutritional Info: Makes 8 Servings Most of the carbs from this recipe come from Swerve/Erythriol. The carbs from the lemon juice and rind are only 2.35 per serving (net carbs). According to sources this sweetener is indigestible fiber excreted out of the body without having any effect on blood sugar. Whether you count net carbs or not is up to you depending on your approach to lowcarb. For keto purposes, it has very low net carbs, however it the carbs/fiber in the sweetener may or may not stimulate an insulin response in you. You will need to test your blood sugar after consuming it to know.

Pumpkin Spice Chia Pudding Yield: 4 Servings Prep time: 2 minutes Inactive time: 40 minutes Total time: 5-10 minutes Ingredients 1/4 Cup Pumpkin Puree (Recipe below, ingredients are a small or medium pumpkin, sea salt, coconut oil) 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk 2 Tbsp. Coconut Oil1 Can Coconut Milk1/4 Cup Organic Chia Seeds 3-4 drops Liquid Stevia (more or less depending on taste) 1/4 Tsp. Ginger Powder 1/4 Tsp. Nutmeg 1/4 Tsp. Ceylon Cinnamon 1/4 Tsp. Vanilla Bean (You may also use powder, or pure extract) Directions I used a small sized pumpkin and split it in half, removed the seeds and fibers, sprinkled it with sea salt and baked it on a coconut oil greased pan in the oven for 40 minutes. I removed the pumpkin from the oven once baked and let it cool, then used my hand blender to make it into puree. I saved the rest of the puree to make sugar free pumpkin pie next weekend! You can also use store bought canned pumpkin for this but not that canned pumpkin elevated blood sugar more which is not ideal for ketosis. P.S. I also baked the pumpkin seeds and covered them in coconut oil, stevia and all of the spices above and some pepper. Great as a crunchy topping on the pudding or with pumpkin cream soup! While the pumpkin is cooking, pour the coconut milk, coconut oil, stevia and spices in a blender. Once blended, add the pumpkin puree and blend. Remove the blender container and stir in the chia seeds lightly. If you blend the chia seeds as small as they are they come apart and don’t gel in the same way as when whole. Divide the pudding mixture into four glass mugs or ramekins. Set in the fridge for 1-3 hours, depending on how thick you like it to be. Remove from fridge when ready to eat and top with pure whipped cream (no sugar added) and Ceylon cinnamon if desired and enjoy! Nutritional Info: Makes 4 servings. BONUS RECIPE!
