Keto Diet: Finding Good Recipes on Pinterest

If you're on a Keto diet, finding delicious and healthy recipes can be a challenge. Luckily, Pinterest is a great resource for discovering new and exciting Keto meals. In this blog post, we'll take a look at how to use Pinterest to find good Keto recipes.

What to look for

When searching for Keto recipes on Pinterest, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, look for recipes that are low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats. Second, pay attention to the ingredients list - the fewer ingredients, the better. Third, look for recipes that are easy to make and don't require a lot of time or effort. Finally, look for recipes that include pictures - this will give you a better idea of what the finished product should look like.

How to find good Keto recipes

To find good Keto recipes on Pinterest, start by typing in "Keto recipes" in the search bar. This will bring up a wide variety of recipes, so you may want to narrow your search by adding specific keywords, such as "Keto dinner recipes" or "Keto dessert recipes." You can also filter your search by selecting the "Keto" category under "All Pins."

Another way to find good Keto recipes is by following Pinterest users who specialize in Keto recipes. To do this, simply search for "Keto recipes" and click on "People" at the top of the search results. This will show you a list of users who have pinned Keto recipes. You can follow these users to see their latest recipes in your Pinterest feed.

How to use Keto recipes

Once you've found a Keto recipe you like, it's important to read through the recipe carefully before starting to cook. Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and that you understand the cooking instructions. If you're new to Keto cooking, you may want to start with simpler recipes and work your way up to more complex ones.

It's also a good idea to use a food scale to measure your ingredients accurately. This will help ensure that your Keto meals are properly balanced and that you're not consuming too many carbohydrates.

Finally, don't be afraid to experiment with different Keto recipes and make substitutions as needed. For example, if you don't like a certain vegetable, you can substitute it for another low-carb option. With a little creativity, you can create a wide variety of delicious and healthy Keto meals.

You can also adapt your personal recipes to Keto

Most recipes you have on hand are able to be adapted to make them adhere to the Keto requirements.  You should have a firm grasp of eating a Keto diet before you try changing up your own recipes, but it is good to know that it can be done.  You can find alternatives for almost every ingredient needed to make your recipes.  Some you need to buy already prepared, but there are some ways to make what you may need for your regular diet conversion.  I posted about a flour substitute here that can be used anywhere flour is called for.  That is just one conversion but you may find many others for the items you need.  

Sources to find good Keto Recipes

1. Google: A simple Google search can yield thousands of Keto recipes. Use keywords like "Keto recipes," "Keto meal plans," or "Keto snacks" to find relevant recipes. You can also filter your search by selecting the "Recipes" category under "All" to get more recipe-specific results.
2. YouTube: There are many Keto recipe channels on YouTube that provide step-by-step instructions on how to cook various Keto meals. Some popular Keto recipe channels include Keto Connect, Headbanger's Kitchen, and Ruled.Me.
3. Cookbooks: There are many cookbooks available that focus on Keto recipes. Some popular Keto cookbooks include "The Keto Diet" by Leanne Vogel, "The Complete Ketogenic Diet for Beginners" by Amy Ramos, and "Keto Comfort Foods" by Maria Emmerich.
4. Instagram: Instagram is another great resource for finding Keto recipes. Many food bloggers and influencers post their latest Keto meals on Instagram. To find Keto recipes on Instagram, use hashtags like #ketorecipes, #ketodiet, or #lowcarbrecipes.
5. Keto-specific websites: There are many websites dedicated to Keto diets that offer a wide range of recipes. Some popular Keto websites include ruled.me, dietdoctor.com, and ketodietapp.com.
6. Local Keto groups: Joining a local Keto group can be a great way to find new recipes and connect with like-minded people. Many local groups have regular meetups where members share Keto recipes and tips.

There are many ways to find Keto recipes besides using Pinterest. From Google searches and YouTube channels to cookbooks and Instagram hashtags, there's no shortage of resources available for discovering new and delicious Keto meals. Be sure to explore different options and experiment with different recipes to find the ones that work best for you.

Keto Twins on YouTube

 I recently found the Keto Twins on YouTube and I have to say that I love watching all of their videos.  Not only do I get great Keto information, but they are smart and funny. It is obvious that they love keto and want to share their experiences with others to help them on their way to keto weight loss.

The reason I am enjoying them so much is because they don't have their own Keto recipes.  They get recipes from everywhere and try them out on camera.  They even taste test them on camera.  As you know from an earlier post, sometimes what you see on video does not always turn out.  See this post for more about that.

Just to show you what I mean, I am going to post a few of their videos here.  This is just a sample of what they have.  They are hilarious when they are preparing each dish.  Because they are twins, they talk back and forth on camera without any hesitation.  It is so fun to watch.  I hope you enjoy these couple of videos and start watching them for yourself.  You will get lots of encouragement and you will find out which recipes work and which do not without the pain of making it yourself.

Not Everything You Make from a Keto Recipe turns Out!

 Well, I have had really good luck with keto recipes I find on Pinterest, but not so much with the ones I see on YouTube.  I recently watched Low Carb Love cook spinach wraps and she gushed about how good they were and how easy they were to make and they only have the 2 ingredients...

I thought, that sounds good.  I like spinach wraps.  I think I'll try that.  So off to the store I went and bought my fresh spinach.  I already had the eggs.  I had to find my blender up in the top of the cupboard because I rarely use it.  So now I have my ingredients collected, my tools clean and washed, my pan lightly coated with spray oil and on medium heat.  I did everything she did, exactly and ended up with the biggest mess!

Not only did they not turn out to be wraps, but they were inedible.  Mine were nothing like hers even though I followed her instructions exactly.  It was a sobering experience and one I did not enjoy.  I was really looking forward to having a spinach wrap for lunch.

So next I decided to make something I know turns out beautifully.  I made my go-to Chaffles that I use as my bread in sandwiches.  I love these things.  They are tasty, they have a slight crispiness from the Mozzarella and I can add any seasoning I want that day.  They take about 3 minutes to whip up and I absolutely love them. I don't feel quite as defeated since these turned out beautifully, just like I like them.

If you want to start cooking Keto, I would recommend starting with Pinterest for some good recipes.  I have had the best luck with those.  Although there are a couple of YouTubers that I watch whose recipes are really good even though mine don't look like theirs do when finished.

Here are a couple that I do like and have had some success with their recipes:

• https://www.youtube.com/@cjsketokitchen
• https://www.youtube.com/@KetoFocus
• https://www.youtube.com/@ketoserts
• https://www.youtube.com/@SuzAndTheCrew

My biggest complaint with Keto casseroles is that they are so flat and they are not very filling.  If I make a keto casserole, I also make a big salad and some vegetable that is in season to go along with it.  I even can sometimes make chaffles to eat with it.  

In case you haven't noticed, chaffles are my thing.  Even my daughter likes them and she is really picky.

Here is my go-to Chaffle recipe:

• 1/4 cup finely ground almond flour
• 2 med-large eggs
• 1/4 tsp. baking powder
• 1 Tbsp. water
• 2 ounces of softened cream cheese or 1 Tbsp. of mayonnaise

I mix this all together in a bowl while my waffle iron heats up.  I lightly spray the iron with olive or avocado oil and then put a bit of mozzarella grated finely all over the surface of the waffle iron.  Not heavily, just a bit to cover most of it.

I then add the recipe and let it start to cook before I add a top layer of grated cheese.  I close the top and wait until it says it is done.  Yummy!  I used to make these in the mini-dash waffle iron, but since I eat these so often, I had to get myself a large 4 square waffle iron to keep up.  You see what you think.
