When you’ve had a long day of work, or find yourself exhausted at the end of the day from taking care of your family, sometimes all you want to do is go out for dinner or pick up the phone and order take-out. But when you’re following the Keto-diet, that might feel like a daunting task. How do you know if a restaurant offers Keto-friendly options?

If you live in the Cache Valley area of Utah, we’ve got you covered! We’ve put together a list of six restaurants that offer Keto-friendly menu items, so whether you live in the area or have plans to travel through, check out these great spots!

Center Street Grill

The Center Street Grill is a local, family-friendly restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. They offer a special Keto-friendly menu featuring breakfasts, burgers, salads, and even desserts. We think the turkey bacon avocado boat sounds delicious!

Additional tips for eating out while on the Keto-diet:

• Browse the menus in advance
• Stick to high protein, low carb/sugar options
• Ask for substitutions. Eyeing up a burger on the menu? Ask for lettuce instead of the bun. Or ask if you can substitute cooked greens or a salad instead of potatoes or fries. 

Remember, when you’re following the Keto diet you can still enjoy a night out at a restaurant or a night-in with take-out, all it takes is a little pre-planning. Hopefully this list gives you a head start!

So you’ve chosen to start the keto diet! We’re sure you’ve already recognized that there is so much to learn about this new lifestyle. The amount of information out there can be intimidating and overwhelming when you try to digest it all at once. Trust us, we’ve been there too. We want to help you ease into this decision, so we’ve compiled a list of five tips that will help your diet go smoothly. Let’s dive in!

Make a meal plan! 

You are more likely to follow your diet when you have a plan for each meal, including snacks. Especially at first, you may feel like you have nothing to eat because your regular food options aren’t available. However, you’ll learn to adapt! Take desserts for example (we know a thing or two about those). Going on the keto diet doesn’t mean that you’ll never eat a cookie again, it just means you may need to adjust some ingredients and branch out with your recipes! You’ll learn that some things are just better when made from scratch. 

Understand the potential side effects and how to combat them. 

Depending on your previous eating habits, switching to the keto diet may be a major dietary shift. Regardless, your body will recognize the change in diet and there may be side effects that you should be aware of. For example, one potential side effect is what is known as the ‘keto flu’ which usually occurs within a week of someone starting the keto diet. Despite its name, the keto flu is not the real flu; it’s actually a combination of flu-like symptoms. The best remedies include drinking water and getting enough rest.

Inform close family members about your diet.

When making a major lifestyle change like joining the keto diet, you will want the support of close family members. While they shouldn’t be forced to follow your diet, they can still encourage you to make healthy eating decisions. Logistically, you may be purchasing different kinds of food than you were before. It may be necessary to discuss which foods in the house are available for each person to eat. However, if you’re looking for a yummy treat to share, we recommend trying out some of our dessert options! Diet or no, everyone is sure to love them.

Be aware of your calorie consumption. 

Limiting calories is not necessarily a requirement of the keto diet, but it does sometimes happen when a person starts limiting their food groups. It is important to stay within the recommended calorie range for your body. Even if you are following the keto diet to lose weight, your body needs calories to be healthy and continue functioning correctly. If you have questions about how many calories you need in a day, consider consulting a registered dietician. 

Drink lots of water.

We mentioned water before, but it’s important enough that it’s worth talking about twice. As with any change that your body goes through, it needs lots of water to function properly. Many people have experienced some level of dehydration when beginning the keto diet, which is easily preventable by drinking water. Additionally. you may also want to consider increasing your electrolyte intake, as your body will be in need of those essential nutrients as well. 

Choosing to follow any diet is a big decision, especially keto. There may be some bumps along the road, but in the long run, your body will thank you for living a healthier lifestyle. So do the best you can, and don’t be too hard on yourself. Our best advice is to take your decisions one meal at a time. You got this! Welcome to the keto community!

Here at Num Gourmet Desserts, we talk a lot about the keto diet. All of our desserts are keto-friendly, after all! If you haven’t heard about it here, you’ve probably run into the term ‘keto’ somewhere. It’s one of the most widely used diets for losing weight and increasing the overall health of your body. Let’s take a look at everything you need to know about keto!

What is the Keto Diet?

The Keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet. With this diet, you are essentially replacing your carb intake with healthy fats. The net carbohydrate intake varies depending on the person, but in general, it is recommended to eat under 25-35 net grams of carbs a day. The keto diet has been proven to help lose weight, among other health benefits. While many foods are restricted on the Keto diet, such as carbs, protein is encouraged in moderate amounts.

There is a really interesting science behind how the keto diet works in your body. When deprived of carbs, your body begins to burn fat for energy instead of sugar (or glucose) that comes from carbohydrates. When you do this, your body goes into a metabolic state called ketosis. While in ketosis, your body becomes much more efficient at burning fat. The keto diet is such an appealing weight loss solution because it conditions your body to break down existing fat stores.

Which foods should you eat and which should you avoid on the Keto Diet?

The keto diet follows very strict rules regarding what you can and cannot eat. Because keto works only when carbs are limited, the diet must be followed with exactness. As a beginner, these guidelines can be overwhelming or confusing, but when you understand the basics, it’s a little bit easier to tackle. 

First, let’s talk about the foods you need to stay away from. It’s difficult to only list food groups because nearly every group has an exception or two. But to give you an idea, here is a rough outline of foods you need to stay away from:

• Grains —Cereal, wheat, rice, bread, corn
• Sugary foods — candy, soda, processed foods
• Fruit — Apples, bananas, grapes, oranges, 
• Other foods — Potatoes, yams, beans, milk, carrots

Now that we’ve talked about the foods you can’t have, let’s move on to all the foods you can eat! The keto diet focuses on healthy, whole foods. There are so many amazing foods that fit into that category… including desserts! Many people who follow this diet have rich, delicious meals. Some foods that are allowed in keto are:

• Meats —poultry, fish, eggs, beef, lamb
• Low Carb Veggies — Broccoli, green beans, kale, celery, zucchini, peppers
• Dairy —Cheese, butter, heavy cream
• Some Nuts and Seeds —sunflower seeds, almonds, macadamia, walnuts
• Other healthy foods —Avocado, coconut oil, berries, artificial sweetener

A transition to the keto diet may change many things about what you currently eat. Unless you already follow a diet focused on whole foods, you may have to increase your awareness about what foods you are using to fuel your body. Without a doubt, it will require work, time, and self-control. But there are things you can still eat, like desserts! They just require slight ingredient adjustments. At Num Gourmet Desserts, we are committed to making delicious treats that are in line with the keto diet. We’re so glad you’re here to follow along!

Sometimes we crave something sweet after a workout, but if we gave in to that craving, we’d be throwing away all our effort, right? Wrong.
