There is a lot of information out there about Keto diets and the amount of fat needed in a keto diet…Well in the last 2 years of clinical practice, using a Therapeutic Ketogenic Diet (Keto Paleo) for my patients, I came to many realizations regarding the needed content of fat for ketosis.
The main misconception about fat comes from the fact that to be in ketosis we need to restrict carbohydrates. That is what induces ketosis, NOT eating fat! So when we reduce the amount of carbs we eat, and we lower our protein to about 23 to 23% of our macros, moderate protein, we only have fats left to fill our daily caloric needs.
Ingredients
¼ cup organic almond flour
½ cup shredded coconut
2 tablespoons Swerve
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon coconut oil
3 egg whites

- In the meantime chill a medium bowl in the freezer for mounting the egg whites.
- Add the melted coconut oil to the flour mix and blend really well.
- Put the egg whites in the chilled bowl and whisk until stiff, (very foamy holding stiff peaks).
- Gently incorporate the egg whites into the flour mix, trying to not overmix and to preserve some of the volume from the eggs whites.
