WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

The ketogenic diet (often calledketo) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins.It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat.When your body switches to burning fatfor its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.

While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

Recipe Notes:

  • Let simmer longer For a Thicker Sauce. The Sauce will thicken slightly as it cools. To thin the sauce stir in a little water.
  • Any type of hard cheese can be used for this recipe. Try using grated mozzarella cheese for a delicious creamy keto white sauce.
  • Remember that this sauce will start to thicken as it cools, so be sure to serve it warm.
  • You can make this keto cheese sauce recipe ahead of time and store it in a lidded container in the refrigerator. It will keep for 3-5 days in your fridge, if it lasts that long.
  • I don’t recommend freezing keto cheddar cheese sauce. If you won’t be able to eat all of the keto cheddar cheese sauce recipe, simply cut the recipe in half.

Is there a limit to how much cheese on keto? ›

On keto you can eat as much cheese as will fit within your carb limits, although some people (including me) find weight loss difficult if casein protein becomes the dominant dietary intake.

While cream cheese is suitable for the keto diet, practitioners warn against going overboard. Of course, consuming cream cheese in large amounts can easily skew your daily macros. Limit consumption of cream cheese to the regular serving size of 2 tablespoons.
