Introducing Keto Comfort Foods

D ifferent people have different reasons for choosing the diet theyd like to follow. But everyone has the same goal. That is to feel better, to lose weight, eat healthily, and trim their waistline. There are numerous diet regimens nowadays. We have heard diets of all forms Vegan, Paleo, Atkins, South Beach, among many others. Emmerich says that the ketogenic diet is all about eating nutrient-dense whole foods that nourish and heal the body. International bestselling author Maria Emmerich has authored books on the diet she believes in the most the ketogenic diet. She has demonstrated in her previous book The 30-Day Ketogenic Cleanse and The Ketogenic Cookbook (with Jimmy Moore) that the Ketogenic diet is a doable and healthy way to lose the weight.

When someone begins following this diet, he or she should determine the goal of the diet. Whether it is weight loss, enhance well-being, improve blood pressure and feel better. When we have goals, its easy to forget to enjoy the meal before us. Some people just eat as part of the routine and they consume the same dishes over and over. This boredom can lead to frustration. Frustration can lead to failure to follow through the diet. He or she will most probably go back to the poor eating habits that brought the unhealthy state in the first place.

Maria Emmerich shares her childhood. Her grandparents were both musicians. They didnt have much but they sure made everything fun and memorable for their grandchildren. Grandpa Jerry and Grandma Betty would cook up the most delicious recipes for the family to share and enjoy. Grandpa would sing How Much is that Doggie in the Window? while Grandma Betty cooks comfort foods. As the guitar was playing, the grandchildren would dance around with chocolate-stained fingers.

Emmerich says though that we shouldnt look at foods as simply nourishment for the body. Food is more than that. It is a tradition. It is love. It is a celebration. The mere thought of a meal or the smell of a familiar childhood dish should evoke beautiful memories. It doesnt matter if it is a major family celebration or a simple Sunday lunch, a meal should be more than filling our bodies.

In 2011, Maria Emmerich had the pleasure of traveling to New Orleans for a business trip. She sat to eat with locals at the amazing restaurant Muriels in Bourbon Street. The locals asked her how she maintains her ketogenic diet. They remarked how difficult it is to maintain a diet in New Orleans. After all, their motto is, Live to Eat. Emmerich found this motto quite interesting and that it wasnt Eat to Live. Were often told that the food we eat is fuel to our bodies. But food is more than that. When Emmerichs son was two and a half, he started to sing while eating. When she saw this, she realized something that children know and grownups forget. That is, food is a pleasure. It is possible for food to nourish not just your body but also your soul.

As the Emmerich family is growing, so does Maria Emmerichs ability to grow in her cooking. She continually finds ways to add umami into the meals she makes for her family. Umami is the flavor that is often described as the fifth taste. It is the combination of sweet, salty and bitter. She filled Keto Comfort Foods with delicious umami foods that are both healthy and delicious. The ketogenic diet is not a diet for the Emmerich family, it is their way of life. They enjoy the amazing feeling of eating delicious foods that they are never enticed to go back to wheat-filled bread or sweets. They continually find ways to make mealtimes nourishing for the body and the soul.

With Keto Comfort Foods , Maria Emmerich reassures her readers that the ketogenic diet is not difficult to recreate in your own kitchen. With a little creativity, comfort foods can become low-calorie and gluten-free. Emmerichs collection of comforting home-cooked meals are delicious enough for the picky eaters and safe enough for the whole family to enjoy.
