Transform with Keto

Just wanted to stop in and say Happy Holidays!

Been busting my tail sharing info and building a community for the awesome new Transformation Challenge that starts January 1 and wanted to make sure you got to hear about it too!

I’m so stoked for this!  Life has been, well… life!  My diet hasn’t been as awesome as I would like over the last little bit and I’m definitely feeling it.  This challenge brings amazing coaching on many topics such as meal plans, grocery lists, tips/hacks, exercise and more.

I hear ALL. THE. TIME. “I’m going to get back on track in January.” or “Yeah, in January I’ll get started.” but here’s the thing… without a PLAN, you won’t!  Sorry to drop that truth bomb like it’s hot, but many need to hear it.  If you could do this on your own, you would have done it already.  I know this about myself as well!  I need a goal.  I need a challenge.  Or I’ll be exactly where I am NOW, in 3 months!

Best part – It’s really pretty simple, which is really a big appeal for me (and some many of you!) when the real challenge isn’t having the desire, it’s all about making it fit into life!

Low-carb/Keto Cooking

Fantastic night! When starting a new diet, exercise plan, or any lifestyle change really, don’t over-complicate things friends!  Cookbooks and Pinterest are fantastic and have some wonderful recipes, but they can also be incredibly over-whelming, complicated, and BIG $$ to go out and purchase all of the random ingredients that you likely don’t already have in your kitchen!

Tonight we focused on quick, simple and easy.  My ❤ and maintained a Keto life for more than 2 years, and although there was definitely some trial and error, we found a routine surrounding food that didn’t involve hours and hours in the kitchen and was economical to maintain!  Below are the recipes we made last night.  Below are the recipes we enjoyed last night:

Keto Chicken Fajita Bowl

Keto Cheesecake Fat Bombs

Tips for avoiding diet-change overwhelm:

• BEFORE you start, take a really good look at what your food routine looks like today.  When do you food prep? DO you food prep? How much time do you spend making breakfast, lunch and dinner? Do you mostly eat on the run? Whatever your routine is right NOW will impact your success.  If you currently grab takeout for dinner most weeknights, or microwave something pre-made, switching to a plan that involves 2 hours of cooking time each night is not going to be realistic or sustainable my friend!
• If the initial grocery shop scares you, chunk it out so it’s not so scary.  Honestly, if you have avocado oil (for higher temp cooking – stir fries, grilling, roasting), olive oil (for salad dressing), coconut oil (fat bombs!), apple cider/balsamic vinegar, grass fed butter, and you grab fresh veggies and meat/eggs each week, you’re pretty much set up to make loads of meals!
• Keep. It. Simple. and always make double!  I bbq a LOT and if I’m making chicken or steak or salmon on the bbq, with a basket of veggies (heaven!) for the two of us, I ALWAYS make 4 pieces of meat!  1 each for dinner, and 1 to take for lunch the next day with a salad.

Hope this helps!  Any questions, I’d love to help!  Email me any time katemcdowell@gmail.com

The low-carb life has totally changed my life when it comes to healthy and happy living with 3 autoimmune diseases, and I’ve worked with so many others who report the same! Have a wonderful day my friend!
