10 Keto-Friendly Recipes You Can Make in Your Instant Pot

You've probably heard of a ketogenic diet and may be wondering what all the hype is about. In short, it's a very low-carbohydrate, high fat, adequate protein diet. I like to think of it less as a fad diet and more of a lifestyle that focuses on overall health and eating real food. That's why I think the Instant Pot and the ketogenic diet go hand in hand. Real foods are better for your body, but they generally take longer to prepare. The Instant Pot makes that task much faster and much more fun. Sometimes the thing that keeps you on track is knowing you can whip up a nutritious meal in just 20 minutes. With these mouthwatering recipes from my I Love My Instant Pot Keto Diet Recipe Book, you get the best of both worlds: they're easy-to-make and healthy too. Let’s get cooking!

When you start a ketogenic diet, you will probably retrain what your brain thinks of in terms of food satisfaction. Empty calories like buns and tortillas aren’t as appealing and certainly don’t make the meal like they used to. Instead, you will have a greater appreciation for flavorful fillings like this bowl. It’s full of fat to keep you full, even without a tortilla.
