HOW TO MAKE A KETO MEAL WITH A SMALL BUDGET?
If you’re looking to lose weight, you may have heard of the keto diet. Or thought about using the keto system. Put simply, keto is a low-carb, high-fat diet designed to burn fat and eliminate almost all carbohydrates, which helps many people shed pounds.
In addition, the keto diet offers other benefits:
- Improve the cardiovascular system
- Protect and improve brain functions
- Check blood sugar level
- Lower the risk of cancer
Of course, you should consult your doctor and check whether the benefits also apply to you. Because I am not a doctor and a badly followed diet can lead to health problems.
Using keto recipes can even save you money. Because you are not allowed to use certain expensive foods. If you want to save on the side, then here are some tips on how you can successfully carry out keto on a budget:
- Shop locally – most stores or local farmer markets tend to sell meat, vegetables, dairy, and egg at a very cheap price.
- Buy in bulk
- Meal prep in advance – this strategy will save you time and money because you already have meals to eat for the whole week.
- Frozen ingredients – as good as fresh – Most frozen fruits and vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and berries are cheaper than fresh ones. In addition, they last much longer as they stay refrigerated.
- No ready meals – you will most likely see some meal replacement bars that are advertised to be keto-friendly. However, you can survive without those.
HOW CAN I GET LOW CARBS FOR CHEAP?
If you are just getting started on your keto diet plan, you may need a little help choosing which foods and products to choose. One tip for a low-carb meal is adding inexpensive vegetables like cabbage, frozen spinach, or chopped kale. Another method is to swap pasta for inexpensive zucchini or carrots. Soups and stews are also great ways to fill you up without adding carbs or breaking the budget.
Other keto shopping lists can seem overwhelming, especially if you’re on a tight budget. You don’t need to worry though, as I’ve rounded up several budget-friendly, low-carb staples to add to your keto shopping list.
