Invisible Keto Philosophy
This is my own home-grown philosophy after decades of trying and until recently failing to maintain a low-carb diet.
How it Happened
I discovered in my 40s, in the end of the reign of Atkins and the beginning of more generalized low-carb and Keto diets, that low-carb worked extremely well for me. I lost huge amounts of weight with little effort. It was life-changing.
But it never lasted. I love breads, I love a good pesto pasta. I tried questionable "low-carb bars". I ate as an emotional reward. If something good happened, celebrate with food. If something bad happened, console myself with food. Over time I'd find I'd not only regained the weight, I'd exceeded my previous weight.
Finally, approaching 60, it was time to figure this thing out for real. And the result is Invisible Keto.
Whole food that you can serve to anyone and they won't be saying, "This almost tastes like...", instead they'll be asking for seconds.
No phony dishes that pretend to be what they are not. No compromises. Just great quality whole foods and dishes that everyone can enjoy.
When you don't have to compromise, you can choose when to eat low-carb or not, instead of being driven by bad habits.
What it Means
The core concept of Invisible Keto is that you can make these dishes for yourself, for your friends and family, and not only will no one notice that they are low carb, their response will be, "Can we have some more, please?" or "That's the best ribs I ever had!"
I've personally experienced this over and over as I developed these recipes. Nothing shows success better than guests asking for doggy bags because they can't get enough.
This isn't because of trickery. It's because you're making real food, using the best ingredients and techniques. These recipes are informed by some recent discoveries by the Keto community, but the food is as it's always been, and your family and friends will love you for it.
Ultimately the point is to stop thinking about Keto and learn how to think about food in a manner that supports your health and brings joy to your life.
Invisible Keto frees you from diet drudgery and gives you the power to make choices as you cook, without fear.
Let's make real food for real people, no apologies.
