Eating healthy for some comes easy for others its hard. As there are many diets people have talked about are ketogenic diet. The Ketogenic Diet is a high fat, low carbohydrate, controlled protein diet that has been used since the 1920s for the treatment of epilepsy. The diet is a medical treatment and is usually only considered when at least two suitable medications have been tried and not worked. With the ketogenic diet, the body mostly uses ketones instead of glucose for its energy source. The diet is not for everyone but is suitable for many different seizure types and epilepsy syndromes, including myoclonic astatic epilepsy, Dravet syndrome, infantile spasms (West syndrome), and those with tuberous sclerosis. If you or your child has feeding problems, or has a condition where a high fat diet would cause problems, the diet then probably isn’t suitable please consult your doctor or nutritionist.
Here I want to discuss some great recipes to try. Even if you do not want to do the Keto diet. These are great to try as I will have other post that have great recipes to try out and are healthy and easy to make. Here is a link for try for Ketogenic Diet or as others just say Keto diet recipes.

One the food I wasn’t sure about in the Keto diet was the Shirataki Noodles I am not sure if its because of the name, maybe cuss its something that I haven’t tried in a long time or not something that I have been interested in. Here I am now re-looking at something that I have tried long ago and didn’t have an issue then just wasn’t what I was use too. Now I am going to try it again as I am doing my best to eat healthier. The noodles are Soy Free, Gluten Free, and Vegan for all those that care about that stuff. For me I care that they contain less than 1 gram of carbs and 5 calories per serving, also Viscous fiber forms a gel that slows down food’s movement through your digestive tract. This can help decrease hunger and blood sugar spikes, making it beneficial for weight loss and diabetes management. This noodles comes in amazing uses and forms Rice, fettuccine and linguine. I mean who cant use this and make some amazing recipes at more than half the cost to not just your body in what normal noodles do to you but the cost in budget for food. I found a few links on amazon to get them. DID YOU KNOW, you can get a subscription to have things send to you monthly I mean I knew it but i didn’t know you could get it set up for food items such as this. Here is the link I found I would so encourage you to try it out and remember amazon if you do not like it you can send it back no questions asked!
Here is the recipe for above image ….
