90 Keto Diet Recipes For Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner! Ketogenic 30 Day Meal Plan (1)

If you’re starting the ketogenic diet, or a low carb diet – it can be easy to get overwhelmed!

This guide will help you understand the basics of the ketogenic diet and help you kick-start your weight loss plan with 30 days of fabulous and delicious keto diet recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in case you’re into that sort of thing!

Now, I understand it’s difficult when you’re a beginner at anything, especially losing weight.

Six years ago when I started the keto diet, Pinterest wasn’t a thing and information wasn’t as readily available as it is today.

And yes, having “all the information” at your fingertips is fabulous, but it can be difficult to know who to trust – or if you’re even dealing with a real person on the other side of the screen.

Here’s the thing – I can guarantee you that I’m 100% real (Check out my low quality ) and I did lose weight on the keto diet. 148 pounds of it.

But this isn’t about me – I want you to know the keto diet is legit. Keto is not just another trendy diet, and it’s not easy, but it works.

Stick to the plan, and you will lose weight.

What is the Keto Diet?

Despite what the media may say, the Keto diet is not a trend. The ketogenic diet (keto for short) was developed in 1921 by Dr. Russell Wilder at the Mayo Clinic for patients with epilepsy. I won’t bore you with all of the medical jargon, but along with the benefits for epileptic symptoms, doctors also noticed patients on the keto diet experienced decreased irritability and increased focus.

How Long Does It Take To Start Losing Weight On Keto?

Weight loss varies from one person to another because everyone’s body is different.

If you have a lot of weight to lose (like I did), you may lose more in the first few weeks than your best friend, and, if you’re a woman, you may lose weight at a slower pace than your husband or boyfriend. And yes, that totally sucks:)

There are many factors that determine how much you will lose, but since I know you want an answer, I’ll give you a ballpark figure, deal?

The average weight loss on the keto diet after the first week is usually around 10 pounds.

Now please don’t get too excited. This initial weight loss is mostly water weight.

See, the keto diet causes you to drop the water weight fast because you’re cutting your carbs dramatically.

And while you may not be losing fat, this water weight loss is a good sign that your body has entered the ultimate fat burning mode: ketosis.

What Is Ketosis?

On the keto diet, you reduce your (net) carbohydrate intake to 20-30 grams per day.

Why?

It’s all part of the plan to get your body into the state of ketosis or fat burning (also called fat-fueled) mode. When your body doesn’t have the carbs to burn for energy, it turns to fat.When your body is in ketosis, it converts fat into ketones which become your body’s new fuel source.

To stay in ketosis, you have to eat foods that are keto-friendly. Going keto isn’t all that tough after you get used to it, but it can be a challenge at first.

What Are The Health Benefits of The Ketogenic Diet?

The ketogenic diet may be one of the most well-researched eating plans on the planet. (Which happens to be one of the reasons I landed on it when I was trying to find a diet that would work for me.)

Numerous studies have indicated that a ketogenic diet reduces factors for cardiovascular disease (diabetes, heart disease, stroke), and some suggest it to bebeneficial for certain types of cancer.)

Ketogenic diets are also known to reduce the frequency of migraines and help increase energy levels. (I can vouch for both.)

There is so much more to keto than weight loss like better focus, stronger physical endurance, and radiant skin.

Even with all of these health benefits before you begin any diet plan, you should speak to your doctor. The keto diet works for me, but it’s not for everyone.

Moment of Truth: There is no ONE diet that works for everyone, because we are all different!

I don’t write exclusively about keto, even though it works for me, I’m passionate about it, and it is the most googled diet on the planet:)

But today, we are going all-in ketogenic, and I have collected over 90 low-carb recipes that are perfect for beginners – if you decide keto is right for you.
