Ketogenic diet - ketogenic meals

There is a lot of talk about low-carb ketogenic diets but no clear ketogenic diet cookbook. Most resources just list the "acceptable foods" and let you figure out what to do with that - that is, how to make meals from food.

Looking at the list of acceptable foods one can quickly see some "key" ingridients are either missing or on the forbidden foods list. This fact alone hits you with incredible amount of negative energy and bad mood.All good things about the diet all praise, dreams and hopes it gave you - it all crumbles to dust - just becouse you can't see how to fit those things into a proper meal.

Some people actually start with the diet, eat 3 eggs in the moring, can of tuna for brunch, chicken breasts for lunch, another tuna/egg combo for snack and finish with cottage cheese before they hit the sack. When they wake up they repeat, juggling those 5 different foods around.

This gets old. Fast. The weak minded give up after a week. The stronger give up after 2 weeks when the first cheatweekend comes up and they figure out how good "the other" food used to taste. The focused dedicated and really strong people persist and do not stray, hoping for the weekend to come so they can get some chetmeal in. The not so smart of the bunch only eat those 5 on weekdays and lots of crap carbs on weekend, achieving one or another type of disease, bash the diet for it and well, fix their health and jump on another diet program so they can abuse and blame that.

Those few who add wits to persistance choose the smart cards for cheat meals and eventually add other food to weekday as well. In the following posts I shall explore some of the possible meals, based around:
- a lot of protein
- some fat
- as little carsa as possible
- taste
- variety
- prep time
- portability (take-away, home, to work, to school... meals)
