Keto Dieters rejoice! Here are 20 Slow Cooker Keto Recipes to make ahead and help keep you on track. These recipes are comfort food at their low-carb finest. You might even forget that you are dieting. The ketogenic diet has taken the world by storm because it works! People are losing a lot of weight by changing their WOE (way of eating). I can testify to the effectiveness of going keto if you are diligent about your macros. “Lazy keto” just doesn’t work for me unfortunately!
New to the keto diet and wonder what are macros?
“Macros” is short for “macronutrients.” There are three macronutrients: carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Each gram of carbohydrates has 4 calories, each gram of protein has 4 calories, and eEach gram of fat is 7 calories. However, all calories are not the same.
Of the three macronutrients, carbohydrates affect insulin. The more carbs you eat, more simple sugar is absorbed in your blood stream. As the sugar level increases in the body, the pancreas releases insulin to help remove the excess into the cells, where it can be stored as an energy source. (Can you say “fat?”)
