A Challenge:
If you are on the ledge about wanting to cheat, let me give you a challenge. This is what I did last year.
Tell yourself that you CAN have a bite of your favorite things that you think you will miss but FIRST, load your plate with the good low carb and Keto stuff. Eat and enjoy that.
When you are finished, ask yourself if you still want those bites. If you do, have some. You very likely won’t though and if you do, it won’t be too much because you will already be full of yummy food. You may not even care at that point!
I was totally satisfied and even watched everyone else eat dessert still feeling totally satisfied. I didn’t have this list of low carb desserts so had none at all. And I honestly didn’t even care! (Who said that!?!)
YOU CAN DO THIS and these 63+ Low Carb Keto Holiday Meal Ideas will help!
Included below are main meats, stuffings/dressings, cranberry dishes, gravy, vegetable side dishes, rolls, appetizers and of course; desserts; all you need for a delicious holiday meal in low carb/Keto style.
