LOWER FAT KETO

The biggest controversy with a ketogenic diet has always been in the dietary fat amount one should consume for weight loss. Some experts believe high fat is best, anywhere from 70-80% daily. Others believe it's best to use fat as a lever and adjust to anywhere from 50-70% depending on your goals and if you have any underlying conditions or autoimmune disease. 

In my experience before I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, I was gaining weight on a keto diet of 70% fat. I was not able to lose weight until I lowered my dietary fat intake and increased my protein intake. Again, everyone is different and changing things that are not working for you is the key.

In order to see weight loss, I  reduced to 60% dietary fat and started incorporating intermittent fasting as well as getting properly diagnosed and on medication to treat my low functioning thyroid. How much fat you should eat to lose weight on a ketogenic diet is one that will have to be determined as you follow the basic keto macros and see what works for you.

I was so encouraged that I wasn't broken when it came to weight loss and inspired to share this with others that I created a 4 week Stall Buster Keto course for those struggling to lose weight on the traditional keto macros or those just stuck in their weight loss. 

Lowering the fat from a traditional ketogenic approach just means you need a little less to see weight loss. Choosing proteins like shrimp, crab, other shell fish, seafood and leaner cuts of beef and poultry, is a great way to lower the fat just a little, but still be in nutritional ketosis to lose weight. 

WHAT OTHER FISH BESIDES SHRIMP? 

I think you could use any fish you enjoy for these fish tacos, but the beauty of this recipe is how quickly the shrimp cooks up making it a fast and easy meal. Other ideas would be these salmon nuggets or just baking some salmon with the spices in this recipe.

OTHER SLAW RECIPE OPTIONS

The slaw recipe with our keto spicy shrimp includes a plain Greek yogurt but that could easily be swapped with a dairy free yogurt if needed or just mayonnaise. If you aren't really into creamy slaw, I've got two other fantastic keto slaw recipes you might enjoy! Try my Avocado Coleslaw or my Italian Style Coleslaw made with just spices and vinegar! 

CAN I SWAP THE ALMOND FLOUR TORTILLAS?

I've got plenty of keto tortilla recipes you might enjoy if you're just not into almond flour or have a tree nut allergy. These tortillas can be swapped with myFor Real Nut Free Keto Tortillas or my Cauliflower Tortillas. 

If you don't feel like making tortillas at all, you can use some romaine leaves as boats or Bibb lettuce to use as cups or even iceberg to use as a wrap!
