🥓 How I Made Keto Work (Without Feeling Deprived): My Go-To Meals & What Changed
I’ll admit it — I used to think keto was just bacon and butter. And while those do make an appearance, what I discovered over the past few weeks is that keto can be vibrant, flavorful, and surprisingly easy to stick with.
I started experimenting with keto meals after feeling sluggish, bloated, and stuck in a plateau. I didn’t want another crash diet. I wanted real food, real energy, and real results.
So I gave myself 14 days. No pressure, just a commitment to try keto meals that felt nourishing and doable. And wow — the difference was real.
🧠What I Noticed in Just 14 Days
Here’s what changed — and fast:
- I lost 6.2 lbs without counting calories
- My cravings for bread and sugar dropped dramatically
- I had more energy in the mornings (no more snooze button)
- My skin looked clearer and less puffy
- I felt full after meals — not stuffed, just satisfied
And the best part? I didn’t feel restricted. I ate cheesy omelets, creamy soups, grilled meats, and even keto waffles. It felt indulgent, but my body responded like I was feeding it exactly what it needed.
