The purpose of this meal plan is to show what a week\u2019s worth of keto-friendly (and totally Primal) meals could look like.<\/p>\n
This is how I eat day in and day out. Since I\u2019ve been eating Primally for many years now, it\u2019s second nature for me. But for folks who are new to this way of eating, I realize this might seem like a lot of work, or just completely foreign. Rest assured, planning and preparing a keto menu becomes simple once you\u2019re in the habit of preparing healthy recipes like the ones provided here.<\/strong><\/p>\n Don\u2019t fret if these specific meals don\u2019t appeal to you. By no means are you required to follow this plan to a T. It is meant to serve as an example\u2014a \u201cweek in the life of Primal\/keto.\u201d If you want to try it, feel free to swap out meals that don\u2019t appeal to you. I have said before that I usually keep things pretty simple\u2014lots of Big-Ass Omelettes and Big-Ass Salads for me. You can do the same.\u00a0I know plenty of people who prefer cycling through the same three to five favorite meals over and over, and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that. As long as the meals are well-balanced and contain adequate nutrients, there\u2019s no reason to complicate things.<\/strong><\/p>\n However, if you\u2019re a person who enjoys cooking more elaborate meals, you can absolutely do that, too. There are basically limitless options for delicious, enticing, Primal- and keto-friendly dishes. Look for meat, egg, and veggie dishes with interesting preparations, seasonings, and sauces.<\/p>\n Remember, real food tastes better!<\/p>\n A good meal plan starts with good preparation. Spend some time perusing keto-focused blogs and cookbooks that appeal to you. Whether you\u2019re a keep-it-simple kind of home cook or a culinary wizard, food should be enjoyable. Eating healthy, nourishing fare is one of the great pleasures in life. Don\u2019t shortchange yourself here.<\/p>\n Once you have a plan in place, make a shopping list and hit the store and\/or farmer\u2019s market. I also like to shop online for pantry staples.<\/p>\n You can make busy weeknights less stressful by doing some meal prep on the weekends. Look ahead to the recipes you\u2019ll be cooking that week. See if there are steps you can do on Sunday that will save you time during the week, such as:<\/p>\n This is totally optional but can make your life a little easier, especially if your mornings or evenings tend to be a little hectic.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s better to eat enough food during your meals than to snack throughout the day. However, I\u2019ve always suggested people listen to their bodies. Especially when you\u2019re transitioning to a new way of eating, you might find yourself getting hungry between meals. If you do snack, make it count by choosing nutrient-dense foods.<\/p>\n You can find some more keto snack ideas in this post: 20 Keto Snacks (All Under 5 Minutes)<\/p>\n Here are some keto-friendly protein options<\/strong> to mix into your omelettes:<\/p>\n Here are some keto-friendly vegetables (and veggie-like fruits)<\/strong> to mix into your omelets:<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget herbs and spices<\/strong>:<\/p>\n And dairy products<\/strong> (optional):<\/p>\n Step 1:<\/strong> Start with a very generous serving of fresh greens. I usually combine a few different types, and I Step 2:<\/strong> Choose your dressing. No surprise, I usually use one of the dressings from my Primal Kitchen line of products. I formulated these specifically because I couldn\u2019t find salad dressings that weren\u2019t made with health-compromising polyunsaturated oils. You can also make your own dressings with approved oils. Here are some DIY salad recipes if you\u2019d like ideas.<\/p>\n Toss your salad greens with about half the amount of dressing you intend to use.<\/p>\n Step 3: <\/strong>Layer on as many mix-ins as your heart desires. As with the Big-Ass Omelets, this list is meant to get your creative juices flowing (and your mouth watering). Feel free to include things that aren\u2019t on these lists as long as they\u2019re Primal-approved.<\/p>\n Here are some mix-in fruit and veggie<\/strong> ideas:<\/p>\n Protein<\/strong> ideas:<\/p>\n Nuts and seeds<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Here are some cheeses<\/strong> (opt for full-fat) you can mix in:<\/p>\n Step 4:\u00a0<\/strong>Drizzle with the remaining dressing and chow down!<\/p>\n For more keto meal plan ideas, you might like to read:<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget to sign up for the Keto Reset Digest, our keto-themed newsletter.
