Eggfast 101

An egg fast is a short term (3-5 days) way of eating that can help individuals jump in (or back into) a state of ketosis (when the body adjusts from burning glycogen from carbs to burning fat from food and the fat stored in their body). It is essentially a ketogenic diet in its simplest form.

There are many variations on the guidelines for the egg fast, but typically, the meals and snacks consist of only eggs and healthy fats, including full-fat cheese.

The two basic rules are:
1. Eat at least 6 eggs a day, along with a teaspoon of a healthy fat (like butter or coconut oil). We typically just eat when we are hungry and stop when we are full. Some days that looks like 10 eggs, others it might even be one.
2. Six ounces of cheese are allowed.
3. Once the three days are over, it is advised to transition out of the egg fast by slowly incorporating regular keto foods back into your diet. Example: Day 1,2,3 are eggfast days. Day 4 is two eggfast meals and one regular meal. Day 5 is one eggfast meal and two regular meals.

Everyone’s egg fast experience will vary. We have done several rounds of egg fasts, and with each round, we have learned what has worked, and what has not worked for us personally. Modifications we have made are allowing zero calorie/zero carb sweeteners, herbs/seasonings 1g net carb or less, fitting in intermittent fasting, and drinking at least 1 gallon of water a day. The trick to not hating eggs after the three days is to switch up the textures (fried, hard boiled, poached, scrambled, etc).

FAQ: “What do you do with your leftover fry oil?”

Well let me answer that question – something we get almost 20 times daily any time we feature a video of us frying food on our Instagram account.

Short answer: we save it and continue using it until it is too dark or gets cloudy.

Here’s the scoop…

Our families have always deep fried foods since before we can even remember. Back in the day, there would be a designated “frying pot” where the oil would sit until someone needed to fry something – nowadays, in our own homes, here is what we do:

  1. Let the oil cool completely.
  2. Place a mesh strainer at the mouth of a large jar and pour the oil in there. You want the big bits to get caught so it doesn’t end up floating around in the jar. The reason you want to strain the oil is so when you reuse the oil, it doesn’t make the oil darker than it needs to be. It also helps keep the oil tasting fresher (in our opinion).
  3. Close the jar and store at room temperature.
  4. We reuse the oil until it becomes a brown color but that is completely up to you. The darker the oil, the darker your food will look after you fry it, so just adjust the amount of times you reuse based on the color and preference you have.

Now some additional questions we know y’all are going to have:

  1. What kind of oil do you use? We like to use avocado oil because it is clean and has a high smoke point. Use what oil you can afford and are comfortable cooking with. Canola oil, peanut oil, and soybean oil are all oils we have fried with – they are just very processed.
  2. How many times do you re-use oil? Depending on what we fry, it’s 5-6 times. If we fry fish, the oil is dunzo because the smell and taste will not go away.
  3. What deep fryer do you recommend?

10 Pizza Night Ideas

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of Cali’flour Foods. They have truly perfected the cauliflower crust. The pizza crusts and flatbreads they have in their line of products are super clean (meaning there’s not crazy processed ingredients involved) and consists of a very wholesome base: cauliflower, egg whites, and mozzarella. Because of that, they are keto-friendly and perfect for letting you indulge without any of the guilt or repercussions of eating a super carbie meal.

The other day, we received a variety pack containing the Original Italian, Sweet Bell Pepper, and Jalapeño keto pizza crusts along with the sun-dried tomato, Jalapeño, and Original flatbreads. Since we are in the midst of a fridge clean out (this usually happens the final week of each month), we couldn’t wait to get creative in the kitchen and make some pizza to grub on with these as the vessel. P.S. the flatbreads are a great keto bread as well – think sandwich thins.

If you’re interested in purchasing these keto pizza crusts or flatbreads, feel free to visit this link and use KETOBAES for a discount.

Based on what we had in our fridge, we decided on Chicken Alfredo Pizza and a classic Pepperoni Pizza. They were super easy to put together and cook but here are some pro tips after our first round:

  1. Use a crisper tray to pre-bake the flatbreads in your oven or toaster oven. It took 4 minutes for ours to crisp up the flatbreads.
  2. Spray the crisper tray prior to pre-baking the flatbreads with a cooking spray like Pam.
  3. Watch your flatbreads the first time you bake them as oven times and temps will vary.
  4. Add the toppings after you pre-bake the flatbreads (or keto pizza crusts) and bake for an additional 5 minutes. This prevents the keto pizza crust or flatbread from getting soggy.

Here are eight additional ideas for a fun pizza night:Jalapeño Popper Pizza: Jalapeño Keto Pizza Crust + cream cheese, shredded cheddar, green onions, and bacon.

  1. Viral Feta Bake Pizza: Original Italian Keto Pizza Crust + sliced garlic, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, crumbled feta.
  2. Crab Rangoon Pizza: Jalapeño Keto Pizza Crust + cream cheese, imitation crab meat, mozzarella cheese, green onions, sweet chili sauce.
  3. Taco Pizza: Sweet Bell Pepper Keto Pizza Crust + taco sauce, Mexican cheese blend, taco meat, finished off with fresh lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and sour cream.
  4. Chicken Tender Pizza: Jalapeño Keto Pizza Crust + shredded cheddar, chopped chicken tenders, mozzarella, honey mustard, green onions.
  5. Buffalo Chicken Pizza: Sweet Bell Pepper Keto Pizza Crust+ cream cheese, mozzarella, shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, blue cheese crumbles, celery
  6. Cheeseburger Pizza: Jalapeño Keto Pizza Crust + ketchup, shredded cheddar, ground beef, pickles, onions, tomatoes, topped with fresh lettuce
  7. BLT Pizza: Original Flatbread (only thing that needs to be baked) + mayo, bacon, shredded cheddar, lettuce, chopped tomatoes
  8. Everything but the Kitchen Sink Pizza: Original Italian Keto Pizza Crust + pizza sauce, any shredded cheese, chopped veggies, and any remaining leftover proteins in your fridge.

Fall into Ketosis Challenge

@theketodashians

New season, better habits! Join us to reset for fall! Daily updates on our instagram page 💕##learnontiktok ##keto ##lowcarb ##fallintoketosis ##easyketo

♬ You Got It – Vedo

W T F happened to Summer 2020?! With the official start of Fall commencing on Sept 22, we thought it would be fun to jump start the new season with a keto based health and wellness reset week starting on Monday, Sept 21st. This challenge will run from Sept 21- Sept 25th and will focus on total grams of carbs, upping your step game, and being better with your water intake.

The guidelines are simple:

  1. Stick to 20g TOTAL carbs or fewer. That means DO NOT SUBTRACT ANY FIBER to get to 20g of total carbs. This also means you will be depending on very low carb foods to get you through the week instead of many processed foods with added fiber or sugar alcohols. This is a great way to refocus your low carb intake and challenge yourself to eat more unprocessed, whole foods.
  2. Aim for 10K steps a day. Yes, we understand that many of you can barely fit 3K steps into your daily routines between your jobs, families, activities, and general schedule. However, there are many opportunities you can take to fit steps in, like take the stairs at work, taking a walk during your breaks, parking further away from the entrances if businesses, etc. If you want to achieve something, you’ll make it work.
  3. Try to be consistent with your hydration patterns by hitting 100oz of water each day of the challenge. Water is so beneficial on ANY diet, but it’s super helpful when you’re entering a deeper state of ketosis. Your coffee and electrolytes count as water too.

We will support you throughout the week by answering your questions and documenting what we do ourselves to reset for the Fall. Follow us on Instagram to watch for story updates, meal ideas, and live q&a sessions.

Before you start, take pictures, measurements, and weigh yourself. This will show you how small changes can make a difference. Make sure you plan ahead by making sure you have plenty of food and ingredient options that will nourish you this week and keep you satiated. Do not plan to wing it the morning of Day 1.

If you need a little TLC because you are new to keto or have never tracked total carbs, here is a sample meal plan with product links to get you through the week. Please note that these are suggestions and you can customize them to ensure success with your reset. If you need more meal ideas, search the #20gtotalreboot hashtag on Instagram to see past meals we have eaten during this type of reset.

Eggfast Savory Waffle

I’m not the biggest fan of the texture of the (egg+cream cheese waffles) so this version gives me the chew I need to feel like I’m eating a reggo eggo! P.S. it’s best served fresh.

Dash Mini Waffle Maker

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup mozzarella (shredded)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp parmesan cheese (grated)
  • cracked black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  • Mix the egg with shredded mozzarella, tsp of baking powder, tablespoon of grated Parmesan, and cracked black pepper.
  • Fill the waffle maker starting from the middle and leave a gap as you get close to the edge of the iron. The “batter” will expand as it cooks, be careful not to over fill as it will spill out! Let it cook for at least 2 minutes but you’ll know it’s done when it gets crispy. If you open the iron and you see cheese strings, it’s not ready! I used a dash mini waffle iron.
  • Spread 1/2-1 tablespoon of cream cheese and sprinkle with everything but the bagel seasoning. This gives you bagel vibes for sure.

Review: Archer Farms Uncured Ham and Swiss Omelet Cups

@theketodashians

##HealthyHabits6Step ##YouGotIt ##keto ##lowcarb ##fyp ##foryourpage ##sugarfree ##viral ##targetfinds ##review ##eggs

♬ Hit It – Yung Skrrt

New at Target! Does anyone else like to browse the aisles for new products on the regular? I feel like I’ve been doing that more than ever lately because quarantine had me in a little rut. David and I were at Target last week and picked these babies up – maybe they aren’t as new as I think but they are new to me and I haven’t really seen anyone else talk about these. 

So here are some precursors to this review – I do not like Starbucks Egg Bites and I am not a huge fan of the 3 Petit Lechons Brand of sous vide bites from Aldi/Specialty Grocery Stores. Costco and Target also see the ThreeBridge Egg Cup bites but I don’t think they have much flavor.

I didn’t have high hopes before trying but the ham and swiss combo sounded good. 

Here’s the run down: 

These are $4.49 for a box of 4 omelet cups. The cups are the size of mini cupcakes and come two in a pack. One box is one serving, coming in at 2g total carbs for the entire box – which is not bad at all, however, the portion is tiny LOL. You win some, you lose some, right?

These can be found in the frozen food aisle, next to the frozen breakfast items. You can order it for pick up at your local store as well. 

Prep: 

The omelet cups are frozen and do not require thawing to cook. You just remove the plastic and then pop them in the microwave for a minute and a half and then let them sit for another minute.

Keto Kalbi Beef

KBBQ fan? Us too. This is one of our favorite ways to prep short ribs and they are the perfect pair with some cucumber salad and kimchi. Wrap lettuce around them or serve them on top of cauli rice or keto noodle bowls and you’re set! The easiest way to eat this is to cook the short ribs and then cut them into bite sized pieces when you’re ready to eat.

Asian Mom Eggs

If you are Asian, there’s a good chance you’ve had this style of scrambled eggs at some point or another in your life. Something about the combo of fish sauce, eggs, and scallions is unbeatable and takes you back to a time when things were simpler. If you are not Asian but enjoy courses like Egg Fu Young, or changing up your egg game, this one’s a really great recipe to try.
