The first thing you need do is figure out your macros. Macros make up your fat, protein, and carb intake.

Take a deep breath and never fear, LoveAtFirstSpice.com is here to help with this daunting task!

In this article, I will walk you through step-by-step with pictures of how my keto calculator is set up. Don’t worry, no one will see your stats unless you share them, but for demonstration purposes, I’m putting it out there that I weigh 190 lbs(185 now but took me a bit to post this)., and I am a shorty coming in at 5’4. (You’re welcome!)

I want to walk you through how I set up my calculator, which is how I....

Cheese, Cheese, Glorious Cheese!

I love when one item has a MILLION different purposes, especially if all of those purposes are for eating!  In related news: Cheese is the most magically delicious thing ever (second to bacon obviously). This gift from the cow gods is so multi-functional it can be used for sweet and savory dishes, and can be added to just about ANYTHING to make it better, (except coffee...DON’T ask me how I know this, I finally managed to suppress the memory). There are so many different textures, flavors, and types of cheese, which is wonderful news for us, because doing the Keto diet lends itself to exploring cheese in its all its glory.  Here are a few examples of how I use cheese:
As breading for when I fry or bake things, nothing beats that savory crunch!
Making crackers & bread
Desserts! (cheesecake, pudding, & so much more)
As a binder
On its own (obvs!)

​Let’s start with the Do’s and Don’ts of choosing cheese.  When picking out a cheese, the first thing to do is...Click for the Full Article!

​2 Min Guacamole & Bacon Chips
 
Ingredients:
4 slices of Bacon  (Thick cut bacon so it doesn't break when you dip...or double dip! We're not judging.)
1 Avocado
4 tbsp Salsa Verde (I get the Trader Joe's kind as its low carb and delish)
Garlic salt (I ♡ Trader Joe's garlic salt!)
 
 
Cook Bacon. Cut bacon into 3 or 4 sections Lay bacon in a pan (glass or metal) and place in the oven. I cook mine at 350 till it looks right (about 15 min until all the fat is rendered). You can go with the bacon being a bit fattier or cook it until it’s really crispy - it is up to you!

15 Things you MUST have in your Low Carb house!


 
A question people often ask me is, “If you don’t eat many carbs then what do you eat?”
Well, I eat a lot of things, mostly things that have fats like meat, cheese, butter, avocado and oils.  In this post I want to talk about the staples that I’ve found to be helpful in keeping my body in ketosis.
 
Every diet/lifestyle change site talks about setting yourself up for success, and the ketogenic diet is no different. There is a bit of planning that goes into any big change, so to stay on track I keep my pantry (and fridge) stocked with the following 15 items:

​Bacon Ranch Deviled Egg
 
One day a major craving hit me, like Betty White getting tackled in that Snicker's commercial. 
I wanted loaded potato skins and I wanted them NOW.
You just aren't you when you're hungry.
Alas, how could I make sure this craving was cured with a low/no carb option??
And then it hit me: Bacon ranch deviled eggs were born.
Praise the Low Carb gods!
