High Protein/Lo Carbers...Recipes and info

The title is misleading.

It isn't about pills at all but outlines the damage high carbohydrate/low fat diets have done to our health. It does discuss the benefits of a ketogenic diet.

Good documentary on Netflix.

I tried a recipe tonight for Keto Banana walnut bread.

It was easy to make and very good. There are other recipes on the website I will try soon. I would like to try some pumpkin muffins some time.

KETO BANANA WALNUT BREAD
Ingredients

3 Medium Bananas
2 Cups Almond Flour
3 Large Eggs
1/2 Cup Walnuts
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
1 Tsp Baking Soda
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350
Grease loaf pan using coconut oil
Cut up bananas
Add all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix on high until well combined
Pour mix into loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes

I had thrown out my loaf pan as it was peeling and had forgotten to get a new one so I used an 8x8 cake pan instead. It required about 40 minutes of baking

The following nutrition info is for the loaf pan and I will use my best judgment on my proportions for the 8x8.

I guess I trusted the recipe instead of figuring it out for myself but your post got me thinking!

A banana has 24 net carbs each if I would sit and eat one but the 3 bananas in this recipe, total of 72 net carbs, divided by 10 servings, came out (and I am bad at math!) to 7.2 net carbs . I didn't figure out where her other 4 carbs came from, I'll go with her total.

The recipe has 11.2 net carbs per serving (when cut into 10 pieces).

I don't stick to 20 net carbs a day. That is too hard for me. 30-40 is what I aim for within my total macros.

I am not in the induction phase which is much more rigid about total net carbs.

I would totally make that recipe Anya, however I would substitute the banana for zucchini and add a little Splenda... or even rhubarb and strawberry blend... bananas are one of the highest sugar fruits.

I have read quite a bit online about the dangers of Splenda, there are too many links online about possibilities of Cancer, etc. for me to post them. If you must use a sweetener, try Stevia or Truvia, or even cane sugar.
