Humans, historically, were opportunistic omnivores. We sustained ourselves with what we could find and what was edible.
Meat has been a luxury for most of our species' existence. The calorie expense and risk of life made hunting for and eating proteins a dangerous delicacy.
Now "hunting" entails going to a supermarket and browsing meat cases. Easy accessibility has made the "keto," or carnivore, diet trendy.
The theory is that a high fat/protein and low carb diet, along with exercise, burns belly bulge while increasing muscle. Try these keto breakfast ideas to begin your day.
It's pretty much that simple. Quality steak, no matter the cut, tastes better the next day after marinating in its own jus. Simmer with lightly scrambled eggs. Dress it with veg.
Peel and slice two segments of avocado. Lie them in a concave circle. Boil a large egg for exactly 5 min 56 sec. Shell and cut the egg so the yolk pools in the middle.
Low carb doesn't mean no carb. Metabolizing starches produces energy. Carbs can be minimized in bread by substituting white flour with nut flour and ground flaxseed.
This is fun and simple to make with kids. Line muffin cups with cooked bacon. Break an egg into each cup. Bake until egg whites set.
Also known as "Bulletproof Coffee." Add some unsalted butter and coconut oil to a cup of fresh-brewed black coffee. It provides a buzz that replaces the sugar rush from carbs.
This is a North African/Middle Eastern dish traditionally eaten with pita. Serve poached eggs over a bed of olive oil-sautéed onion, tomato, garlic and green pepper without pita.
Shape patties from ground pork with ground sage, salt, pepper, ground cayenne and brown sugar. The last two ingredients add flavor kick and depth respectively. Fry in a skillet.
Bake chopped walnuts, chopped pecans, shredded coconut, pumpkins seeds and stevia with coconut oil until golden brown. Serve with plain yogurt.
Wrap cooked bacon around peeled, sliced, slightly unripe avocado wedges. Whisk mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice and ground coriander for a dipping sauce.
