Gummie Dinosaur Fat Bombs

Keto Fat Bomb

Who says you can't have sweets when you are on Keto. These are a huge hit and super easy to make! I've had fun playing with different candy molds and colors. We used Strawberry Sugar Free Jello for these little guys and they went fast. My son LOVES gummie bears and fruit snacks so we decided to try a healthy recipe and adjusted to make it Keto Friendly.  By adding Heavy Whipping Cream I am able to knock out Fat with each bite...GO ME! If you are not on a Keto Diet then just don't add the Heavy Whipping cream.

Ingredients:

*8.5g box Sugar Free Jello
*1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
*15g Unflavored Gelatin

Directions:
1. Heat Heavy Whipping Cream in Sauce Pan over low heat.
2. Add Sugar Free Jello and stir untill dissolved.
3. Add Unflavored Gelatin and whisk till it starts to thicken.
4. Fill liquid molds and chill in the refrigerator for an hour or until Jello solidifies.

***NOTE*** I find that it is easier and cleaner to use a syringe or eye dropper to fill the candy molds with your jello of choice.

How Does The Ketogenic Diet Lead To Weight Loss?

How Does Ketosis Work?

How does the Ketogenic diet lead to weight loss?
One of the most common uses for Keto is weight loss, however there are multiple reasons why Keto is a healthy alternative lifestyle. With traditional diets you get energy from higher carbs but with the Keto diet you get energy from higher fats.  When you eat higher fat your glucose levels fall and Lipase releases stored Triglycerides. The fatty acids travel to the liver and produces Ketones which in turn gives energy to the body.

The top 4 ways a ketogenic diet can help you lose weight:
1. Increased Fate Burning
2. Decreased Fat Storage
3. Reduced Appetite
4. More Energy

Why Have I Stopped Losing Weight On Keto?

Why have I stopped losing weight on Keto?
Like with any new eating plan the first weeks on Keto you will see a decrease on the scale, however it takes time for the body to adjust to any new lifestyle. Don't get discouraged!

Hmmmm..... why have I plateaued? 

As carbohydrates decrease on the Keto diet the insulin lowers and our kidneys secrete more water which leads to rapid weight loss. Don't get frustrated, even though it is easy to do so, if you plateau on Keto after a few weeks. Weight loss will slow from the initial weeks due to less water being stored. Don't give up! Stay the course and you will see changes in your body, mind and over all health while living the Keto lifestyle. It's called a journey for a reason, enjoy the adventure. :o)

4. More Energy

After months researching Keto dieting I decided in 2017 to give this lifestyle a try; I'm so glad that I did. I have more energy and when I am in ketosis I see ounces drop daily...NO JOKE! I'm not perfect and I still have days I have a sweet tooth but I don't blow up and gain weight when I go off my nutrition plan now.

I highly recommend the book "Keto Clarity" by Jimmy Moore, which really helped me understand Keto eating and even gives recipes in the back of the book. I also suggest purchasing ketosis urine strips at your pharmacy which allows you to see when you are in ketosis and measures the level of ketones in your body. They range from $12-$15 in my area and if the Pharmacy doesn't keep in stock they can order them for you. It usually takes 2-3 days to see signs of ketosis on the strip. I decided to continue drinking my daily Shakeology while on Keto so I know for sure I am getting all my daily vitamins.
