Introduction
Congratulations on downloading your copy of the Ketogenic Slow Cooker Cookbook. I am so excited that you have chosen to discover this fantastic diet plan using your slow cooker. Your life will be so much simpler by using the methods provided within this book.
Before you begin the journey to ketosis; here is a bit of insight on how the diet plan was discovered. In 1924, Dr. Russell Wilder from the Mayo Clinic invented a plan which is now known as the ketogenic diet plan which was used as part of an epilepsy therapy treatment plan. Wilder also suffered from epilepsy which made the plan more essential to him. The plan became known for its other effects which helped in weight loss, and many other ailments.
The program for ketosis was set aside in the 1940s because newer techniques were invented for the treatment of epilepsy. However, during that time up to 30% of the cases which used the alternate plan had failed. Therefore, the ketogenic plan was reintroduced to the patients. As if 2016, Wilder is still functioning successfully without the seizure episodes. It is also noted that the plan is especially recommended for children.
Now, lets see how the two works together!
Chapter 1: - The Slow Cooker & the Keto Diet Plan
Before you begin your new ketogenic diet plan, you first need to decide which one will best suit your needs. The recipes provided in the Ketogenic Slow Cooker Cookbook are based on using the lower carbs required for weight loss. Choose from the following options:
Plan # 1 : You can choose from the standard ketogenic diet (SKD) which consists of high-fat, moderate protein, and is extremely low in carbs.
Plan # 2 : The cyclical ketogenic diet or CKD is created with 5-keto days trailed by two high-carb days.
Plan # 3 : The high-protein ketogenic diet is very similar to the standard keto plan in all areas. One exception is that it has more protein.
Plan # 4 : The targeted keto diet, which is also called TKD, will provide you with a plan to add carbs to the diet during the times when you are working out.
These are the basic plans to get you on the right path. You are in tune with the plan by using your slow cooker.
The Ways You Can Benefit Using a Slow Cooker
Think of how many times you have experienced times that you did not feel like spending hours over the stove preparing a healthy dinner. Have you been there? How about the times during the holidays when you are planning on a houseful of guests and just have no idea how you can achieve such a huge order? Dont worry because you have your fabulous cooker and all of these new recipes to experiment with in your kitchen.
These are a few ways you can benefit from the keto techniques with your slow cooker:
Save a lot of Time and Effort: All it takes is a few good recipes and a little bit of your valuable time. In most of the cases, these recipes are geared towards a fast lifestyle and will be ready with just a few simple steps.
Get Ahead of the Meal: Preparing food with your slow cooker can put you ahead of the game. You can prepare the cooker the night before if you have a busy day planned. All it takes is a few minutes of preparation. Just add all of the fixings (if they can combine overnight) into the pot. When you get up the next morning, all you need to do is take it out of the refrigerator and let it warm up to room temperature. Turn it on as you head out of the door and dinner will be ready when you get home.
Cut Back on Dining Out: Having an enjoyable meal at home is so much more personal for your family because you prepared it! Not only that, you will eliminate the temptation to order foods that might not be as healthy.
Cook it Slow & Leave it Alone: A slow cooker is known for creating delicious dishes while bringing out all of the natural flavors. So, go on about your busy schedule and dont worry! Theres no need to worry about checking on it (unless the recipe calls for it). Just remember, each time the lid is removedvaluable heat is escapingresulting in a breakdown of the preselected times. Just keep that thought in mind, even though it is tempting to open the pot and smell the aromas!
Watching the Extra Liquids : There is no need to use additional ingredients, other than what is described in each of the recipes. Ideally, you should not fill the crock pot more than half to two-thirds full of ingredients. Too much liquid will cause leakage from the top and may result in a poor-quality meal.
Trimming the Fat : One huge advantage to the use of this type of cooking is you can save quite a chunk of money purchasing cheaper cuts of meat. Also, capitalize on the flavorful meat in small quantities and by bulking up on veggies with smaller meat portions.
Many more advantages are in store for you once you learn how tasty the meals are when prepared using your new ketogenic recipes in your slow cooker.
