I am new to cooking because of university and stick close to keto diet, not entirely because I'm already a skinny bastard but I would like to learn more recipes because I often eat the same thing daily. Thank you

Some of my favorite keto meals:

Bacon and eggs

Eggs scrambled with cheese and topped with creme fraiche

Cook a pork steak, the deglaze the pan with heavy cream. Let the cream reduce and thicken a little, but don't cook too long or it will curdle

Beef steak drowned in olive oil. Get a fatty cut of beef, salt and pepper it well, and cook it how you like it. Then put it on your plate and pour olive oil all over it. Be generous.

French omelet

I eat a lot of creme fraiche and use it in a lot of my cooking. For instance, I made chicken curry the other day and used creme fraiche as the base. I cut up some chicken thighs and seared them, then mixed some homemade curry powder into some creme fraiche, then added it into the pan and let the chicken finish. It melts back into a cream like consistency, and makes a wonderful sauce.

To make creme fraiche, get a quart of the heaviest cream you can find, put it in a mason jar or something similar with a few tablespoon of cultured buttermilk. This provides the bacteria that make the creme fraiche. Normally you would leave this out for 24 hours and it would be done, but to make it keto, leave this sitting at room temp for a full 48 hours. This lets the bacteria eat up all the sugar in the cream (cream has 6 or 7 grams of lactose per cup.) Then when it's done fermenting, leave it in the fridge overnight. Enjoy.

There are also tricks to ketofy regular food. Generally in foods that are breaded and fried, you can replace the breading with ground pork rinds and/or cheap powdered parmesan cheese (the stuff in the green canister) and/or almond flour and/or coconut flour.

>foods that are breaded and fried

I make a breading for fish and chicken that is 3 cups flax, 2 cups grated parmesan, and 1 cup almond flour. For fish I add fish fry seasoning (Old Bay), for chicken I add poultry seasoning, etc. You can also mix a little water in this and make a stiff dough that can be rolled out thin and baked to make crackers.

Another one that is useful is pizza dough, I make mine with 4tbsp butter, 1 1/4 cup lowfat mozzarella (the kind that is sold pre-grated), 1 tbsp crushed fennel seeds, 1/2 cup almond or flax meal, and 1 egg. Melt the butter, add the grated mozzarella and nuke for 45 secs to a minute so it melts, use a spoon to mix it well, add the egg and fennel and mix, then add the flour and mix. You may need to nuke for a few secs during this to keep the mozzerella molten. When its thoroughly mixed it should be a very good approximation of a high-gluten dough, though obviously oily as heck due to the butter. Nuke it again to make sure its soft, then roll it out on a silicone mat. If you're making a pizza then place in skillet and form with your fingers. Puncture bottom in several places to let the steam out. Bake at 350 for 15-17 mins. Add whatever toppings you want and bake again. This dough also works for stromboli and calzones, and if you ditch the fennel it also works for kolaches both sweet (e.g. cream cheese with blueberries) and savory (e.g. sausage&cheese).

I find the taste of flax revolting, not to mention it's high in phytoestrogens, high in cyanogenic glycosides, and the omega-3 fat in it is alpha linoleic acid, which your body can't use without converting it first.

One of my favorites: Philly style bell pepper

Ingredients: two bell peppers, 1 12 oz ribeye, onion, mozzarella, cream cheese

Cut off tops of bell peppers and hollow out. Put them in the oven at 375 for about 20-25 minutes. While they are cooking put sliced up ribeye and onions in a frying pan to cook. Once that is done add 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Stuff the peppers and add mozzarella to the top. Put back in the oven for 15 minutes to brown cheese.

Check out fisherman’s eggs. There are tons of recipes online so just jewgle it, but its basically: onion, garlic, parsley, eggs, sardines. Lots of omega fatty acids and of course protein.

All the veggies you like.

Sure you can eat products of animal origin (dairy, eggses, meat (fish)), but vegetables contain proteins too, plus fibre and vitamins.

Cauliflower- or broccoli"rice": chop broccoli or cauliflower (or both) finely but not completely, until rice-like structure. Optional: dice onion and bake until soft in oil with peppers(auce) to taste. Add broccoli and/or cauliflower and fry for about ten to fifteen minutes until done.

Get carb withdrawal and suck it up. Trying to taper is actually harder and just prolongs it. It's like a bandaid. Just go for it. Make sure to get your electrolytes. Most of the 'carb withdrawal' symptoms are just electrolyte issues due to your body shifting fluid balance.

Take 40 μg chromium in the morning and late afternoon. It helps balance blood sugar levels. Also you need to consume more salt. Stay away from artificial sweeteners.

Oh cool, 8ch doesn't delete all the keto threads. Congrats on avoiding the rampant vegan faggotry and corporate product shilling that 4chan has embraced. I hereby formally renounce, denounce, and give up on that other trainwreck and migrate here.

OP, consider the basic English cauliflower-cheese. You make a cheese sauce, dump it over a bunch of parboiled cauliflower, and throw it in the oven for 20-30 minutes.

I start by rinsing, cleaning, and cutting up the florets of the cauliflower (I use two entire heads of it, enough for three meals), then dumping it into salted boiling water, then draining it and putting it into a glass oven dish. Drain it THOROUGHLY because you don't want a lot of water diluting and ruining your sauce.

I'm a lazy bastard so my cheese sauce consists of as little heavy cream as is necessary to cover the bottom of a saucepan, followed by crumbling in about 300g of high-quality aged sharp cheddar cheese. Keep stirring and eventually the cheese will dissolve into the cream. Then, depending on how liquid the result is, I dump some cornstarch in as thickener. Yes, I know cornstarch isn't "keto", so what, you're allowed 20 grams of carbs per day, use some of them. It doesn't take much. Heat and keep stirring until it thickens.

Be really careful not to overheat the sauce while making it, because if you do, the proteins in the cheese will denature and glob together and you'll end up with a sort of cheese grit in yellowed water. Still tastes ok on the cauliflower but not nearly as good.

DRAIN that cauliflower one last time (put a plate over your baking dish, or use a wire splatter-screen, or whatever, to keep the cauliflower from falling out). I cannot sufficiently emphasize the need to drain thoroughly. You might even try pre-baking the cauliflower to dehydrate it a bit – hmm, maybe I'll try that tonight.

Now pour the sauce all over it. Use a silicone spatula to scrape the sauce out of the saucepan. Leave a little to eat while everything else bakes, see picrelated, he is my spirit animal when it comes to what's left in the saucepan.

At this point I like to sprinkle paprika all over the top. The Bongistanis traditionally use mustard powder mixed into the sauce instead, but I don't like the taste. (I'd prefer some other pepper powder instead, say something that actually adds some spiciness, but where I live, the selection of Western spices is seriously fucking limited because Chinese inbreedingness.)

Then bake at around 180C for 20 minutes while you broil a steak or fry some salmon or whatever.

Whatever you don't eat at this meal, you can refrigerate and reheat for the next one. I usually break the above into three days of meals (I'm only eating one per day to try to break the weightloss plateau I've been stuck on forfuckingever).

Net is about 500 calories and 25g protein from the sauce, 50 calories and 6g of carbs and 4g of protein from the cauliflower (2/3 of a head, I'm assuming 200g weight for that), and a few grams of carbs from the cornstarch if you use it.

Someone above (just reading through the thread) makes the point that cream contains lactose. I forgot to account for that.

You're really not going to need much cream. The less you use, the less watery the sauce will become and the less you'll need any cornstarch for thickener. Call it 1g of carbs per serving from the cream. I doubt it's even that much, I don't think I use even a quarter of a cup of cream.

Also, at least in my oven, the top of this will get burnt. I throw an empty pie pan over the top to prevent that. Lightly browned is nice, but my "oven" is basically a large toaster-oven and the heating element is too close to the top of the baking dish.

Anyway, thanks for causing me to do the math on all of this. I didn't really know what the calories or grams of whatever were for it until now. This makes my weight plateau even more inexplicable – I thought I was getting more calories than that. Like, a lot more.

THE CORRECT WAY to do Atkins, South Beach, Paleo, Keto, and every other high fat, moderate protein, very low carb nutrition plan:

>1) dozen eggs in too much of unrefined & cold-pressed olive/sesame/etc other high smoke point oil

>2) ~1/4 cup chia

>3) stir

>4) fry

>5) decorate

>6) you know what to do

<1a) organic! else the yolks would be stuffed with all the toxic chemicals and drugs they pump into conventionally farmed chickens

<1b) most other unrefined oils like coconut don't do well at high temperatures; organic butter could work but it's probably best to stick to vegetable fats since they're lower on the food chain (the theory is: fats tend to "collect" environmental toxins, therefore the higher up the food chain, the more toxins; organic yolks and fatty, wild-caught [NOT farm-raised!] salmon are the exception since they're loaded with otherwise hard-to-find nutrients like biotin!)

<2a) the key to getting enough fiber, vitamins, minerals, omega-3's, and anti-oxidants while keeping your net-carbs to the absolute minimum are:

<2b) the likes of flax and chia

<2c) low-calorie/high-fiber veggies (<120 kcal/lb or <250 kcal/kg) such as broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, and kale

<3c) a FEW berries and other colorful fruit and veggies like blueberries; strawberries; yellow, red, and orange peppers; and at most ONE avocado every day or every two or three days depending on how low you're keeping your net-carbs

Don't avoid milk, but turn it into Greek yogurt to remove most the sugars and double-to-triple the protein. And probiotics out the ass, especially if you stir in a 30-50b probiotic pill or two into the mix beforehand. The probiotics will help avoid farting like a beast from all that protein.
