Tasty Tuesday: Chocolate Keto Fat Bombs

Chocolate Keto Fat Bombs

What are fat bombs?

Ketogenic fat bombs are small snacks or treats that are high in fat and low in carbs (so, literally a fat bomb) that you can eat as a quick breakfast, as a quick mid-afternoon snack, as a pre- or after- workout snack, or as extra fuel during your day. -Keto Summit

I like to use fat bombs as snacks or to even out my macro percentages. Fat bombs are also a good excuse for a tasty treat. One day last week my percentages were off and I wanted something chocolaty. I looked at some fat bomb recipes but decided to experiment. The result was tasty fudgy chocolate fat bombs. Better yet, the recipe is very simple!

Recipe

• 1 stick of butter- softened
• 8 oz cream cheese- softened
• 1/3 cup sweetener...I use stevia.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Like I said, this is really simple. All you do is mix all the ingredients together. Letting the butter and cream cheese soften first makes this much easier. I prefer to use a hand mixer but it can be mixed by hand as well. That's it! You can eat it right away or let it set in the fridge to make it fudgier.

The recipe makes 13 servings. Each serving is 1oz.

Carbs: 2g

Protein: 1g

Fat: 9g

Fitness Friday: The Dreaded Stall

My weight chart with daily weigh-ins

Weight loss isn't linear. I know that. I expect that. However, it seems I've hit a stall. I haven't been logging my food on MyFitnessPal so I don't know if I have been keeping my carbs as low as I should. That's where I think things may have gone wrong. I may have inadvertently eaten too many carbs even though I was sticking to keto friendly foods. Yesterday I added the peanut butter cookies recipe onto MFP. Turns out I was eating about 16 grams of carbs a day in just those cookies. Oops!!! Oh well, I can fix this! I started logging on MFP again yesterday. I did decently keeping my carbs low but still could be a little lower. My protein and fat are slightly out of whack. Today I'll plan better. For accountability, I will be posting my macro pie chart in both the Ketogenics "Anonymous" Facebook group and on my Instagram.

Fitness Friday: Finding What Works

I have blogged on this topic many times. When it comes to weight loss you just have to find what works for you. It's different for everyone....heck I think it's different for everyone at different points in your life. I have found something that works for me for now. Right now, that's the Ketogentic Diet, Keto for short. Keto is fairly simple. You keep your carbs under 20g a day. The rest of your diet is mostly fat with moderate protein. That's it! Simple. But Simple doesn't always mean easy. Giving up carbs is tough in this carb rich world we live in. The first week was hell but it has gotten easier....quite a bit easier. I started the Keto diet at the beginning of last November and in those 2 months I have lost 18 pounds and 2+ inches from my waist (plus because I didn’t measure till a month in)!! I'm pretty stoked about that! I have a Facebook group for anyone on the Keto diet or anyone interested in the Keto diet. Come join us if you'd like! Ketogenics "Anonymous"

So, What do I eat??? I have been tracking my food on the You Ate app (the link brings you to my log). Most of the time I keep it simple. The first picture is breakfast recently: bacon, Gouda and coffee (with stevia, heavy whipping cream, and sugar free Starbucks vanilla syrup). Second picture is little smokies wrapped in bacon. Yum!!

As I got use to the diet I started trying recipes that made foods Keto friendly.

Flourless Avocado Brownies: These are just amazing. I added sugar free chocolate chips to mine.

Green Bean Casserole: I changed up the linked recipe. I took out the dried onions and the soy sauce. I added crumbled bacon and used more cheese.

Keto Pancakes: These are so simple and so good! 2 ingredients: egg and cream cheese....that's it!! One of the times I made these I added a splash of vanilla extract and a little ground cinnamon. Butter and Swerve confectioners sweetener is amazing on top!
