Diane taber says
I ve been doing the keto diet and lost a stone in weight.and am that pleased.to have lost this weight.that I want to lose another stone to in wieght.as I’ve got gotta speak as I find.it and I say it’s a brilliant diet you never feel hungry.and you can eat most things in reason.and personally I wouldn’t go back as my normal foods plan was very basic and very boring.and not much nutritional value at all.till now and I just think it’s the best diet I’ve ever tried and just feel really good great.and if I’ve gotta mark from 1to-10. I’d give it-10.stars.its just fabulous.
Olivia Wyles says
Very glad to hear you are enjoying the Keto Diet! I love it too.
Akira says
Can you use stevia instead of Truvia
Olivia Wyles says
Absolutely! Truvia is just a brand name of a sweetener that contains stevia.
D Fellers says
Can I sub sweet n low. And, for the mountain man one, do you mix all the ingredients together and nuke it?
Michael says
Keto is more about the state of being in ketosis. Peanuts, being legumes, are typically not considered Paleo, but often ‘ok in small quantities’ for Keto.
Lyn says
Hi Olivia, loved the recipes, but I am out in the bush in Australia. What is Truvia? I have never heard of it. Merry Christmas. Lyn
Olivia Wyles says
Hi Lyn, it’s a brand of sweetener that is Keto approved. You can also use Stevia, or any other Keto approved sweetener. 🙂
Beth says
I’m going to try your pancake recipe… but normally don’t care for cinnamon flavor- can I omit the cinnamon?
Olivia Wyles says
Of course! I’m just a dork who loves to put cinnamon on everything!
lisa says
I’ve lost 65 lbs so far on keto! I feel so much better! I took a break during the holidays to treat myself, but will now be back on my regular limits. Thank you for the new recipes! I’m so excited to try them!! I have 50 more lbs to go..
Olivia Wyles says
Hi Lisa, 65 pounds, wow! Good for you for giving yourself a little break. Everyone deserves one every now and then especially when they hit an amazing goal like you. Let me know how everything goes with the recipes. 🙂
Carole Lipps says
I want to make the Keto Muffins I have questions I don’t see the link to the recipe so I am writing it down
How many muffins does this recipe make and should I microwave in custard cups ?
Olivia Wyles says
Hi Carole, that recipe is like a microwave mug cake recipe. Just combine the ingredients in a mug then microwave.
Jamie says
Try Monkfruit!! We have been Keto for years and never warmed to any of the “fake” sugars until Monkfruit!!
Olivia Wyles says
Hi Jamie, Monk Fruit is the best invention ever!! I am just now introducing it into my Keto Diet, and I love it. I can’t wait to bake with it 🙂
Tricia says
Olivia thank you for the great recipes. I’ve lost 40lbs with 50 to go. I miss lox and bagels therefore I started making chaffles with diced smoked salmon, cream cheese and a sprinkle of dill. I can hardly wait to try there flax muffins.
Olivia Wyles says
That is an awesome idea, Tricia! Congratulations on your weight loss. You totally got this.
Scott says
Swerve is better, it doesn’t have that bitter after taste. Also you can bake with it and It also comes in brown .
Olivia Wyles says
Absolutely, don’t get me wrong, Swerve is amazing for baking. I just like Truvia packets (and now Monk Fruit packets) because it’s quick, easy, and great for 1-2 servings. P.S. Brown Swerve is amazing too!
Reetika says
Hi Olivia , I just started my keto 3 days ago very new but I really like your breakfast recipes . Can I put blueberries in shake ?
Olivia Wyles says
Hi Reetika, thank you! Yes, you can put blueberries in the shake, but only a few as there are 9 carbs in 1/2 cup of blueberries. Berries are the best fruits on the Keto diet as long as they are eaten in moderation. The lowest carb count fruit I have found is raspberries at 3 carbs per half cup and blackberries at 4 carbs per half cup.
Suzanne says
How much exactly is truvia pk??
emmajune brown says
Just finished my Bulletproof coffee, heading out for morning walk and plan to make the Elegant Breakfast when we return home. Happen to have all ingredients at hand. Can’t wait to eat ! Thanks for all inspirational recipes.
Olivia Wyles says
Emmajune! That sounds like a perfect morning. 🙂
Joni says
Mountain Man Breakfast? Must have never been around a “mountain man’ or even a working man… my husband would go about an hour before is hungry again…
Olivia Wyles says
That’s hilarious!! ?
Jill says
You have a great layout here and I love your presentation! It is refreshing light and easy to understand. I really appreciate it! I’m off keto due to some health issues but will be returning soon. This makes me more excited for my return..
Keto works well for me and after looking at your beautiful layout here..I’m excited! keto has come a long ways!
Thank you keep up the good work!
Olivia Wyles says
Hi Jill, thank you so much for your kind words! It’s always good to hear when you’re doing something right. I’m glad you are excited about starting back on Keto. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions!
Angie says
I use Lankanto monk fruit/erythritol blend. Is Swerve similar?
Olivia Wyles says
Hi Angie, Swerve is just erythritol. What I like about this brand is the versatility. There is a powdered, brown, and granulated version. I also bake with Pyure which is a Stevia/Erythritol blend. I find my baked goods come out better with this sweetener and Swerve versus the Lankanto products. I need to do more experimenting though!
Penny says
How long have you been on keto
Olivia Wyles says
Hi Penny, I have been on Keto since November 2017. Yep, I started during the Holidays 🙂 I took a break from it during my pregnancy last year and now I’m back and down 15 pounds.
TLC says
Quick question, is the bulletproof coffee a substitute for breakfast? I’m not a big egg eater and having difficulty eating eggs daily.
Olivia Wyles says
Hi there, yes! Bulletproof coffee is great for a high fat, energy filled breakfast. It’s a popular Keto meal replacement and great for intermittent fasting because it will keep you full and energized.
Sandie says
I am new Keto what is MLT?
Your recipes look delicious and I can’t wait to try them!
Thank you,
Sandie
Olivia Wyles says
Thank you Sandie! Do you mean MCT oil? If so, it’s a healthy clean fat that is great for helping you get into and stay in ketosis!
Susan says
I’m allergic to eggs. Is there a protein sub for them that is meatless?
Trixie says
Your keto recipes have been so much help, since I really struggle with finding desirable keto meals! Thanks so much for sharing them 🥰
Olivia Wyles says
Trixie! I am so glad you love the recipes. Thank you for your kind words.
Lauri says
Re: cream of wheat recipe. Is cream of wheat used at all? Also can you suggest measurements for ricotta & cream. Thank you.
