Kenyanized Keto Meal Plan

The one thing most people always ask me is to share my keto meal plan. Now, I just have to keep repeating this: I am not a dietitian or even an expert on this WOE. I came up with my own meal plan that I stuck with religiously for the first three weeks of keto. I am happy to share it with you, and of course, you can always make adjustments and come up with your own customized one.

Also, great news, I am back on YouTube, and I will share the first video on a new post, possibly the next one after this one. I am also still adding on to the maiden post about How I Started The Ketogenic Lifestyle, be patient with me, this has been a trying week. You are free to share the meal plan; just be kind and give me credit for it :) I'll also share an advanced meal plan later on, including Bulletproof Coffee (BPC) and other Kenyanized keto treats.

Make it a purpose to have bone soup in between meals for the collagen. You can have a handful of peanuts or a small number of berries (strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries), which are the only approved keto-friendly snacks, but I will share more on making keto bombs (treats) in future posts.

Also, for budget-friendly tips, buy the Kenchic chicken soup pack that goes for only Ksh. 230, if you find that chicken might be too expensive, but you still want to have some. Make tripe matumbo (1 kg, 150 bob) your friend if you enjoy it, of course; it is the cheapest meat you could buy, followed by liver. You can also substitute the meats on the meal plan with any other, like mutton, pork, or lamb. If you also love omena (sardines), include them in your meal plan. Buy your eggs in bulk, that is, per tray, which will be much cheaper, and trust me, eggs are your best friend on keto, and you can eat as many of them as you like as long as it's within your macros. Also, if you love mtura as much as I do, guess what? It is keto-friendly, so enjoy.

Play around with veggies too, and you can have broccoli, mchicha, kunde, mrenda, and other traditional vegetables as well. Onions and tomatoes are keto-friendly, but use them sparingly because they do have a significant amount of carbs.

Cook with spices and make your meals interesting; don't shy away from frying your food because, after all, keto is a high-fat diet. Just make sure to use keto-approved oils like olive oil (which I personally use to cook all my meals), coconut oil, butter, lard, ghee, tallow, etc. When you fry bacon and sausages or any meat for that matter, keep the oil that remains in the pan and use it to cook up your veggies; trust me, it's too yum!

CAUTION: Be careful with where you buy your meat to avoid food poisoning, which is something I was very unfortunate to suffer from just a few weeks back.
