    Southern Keto - Stacey Webber

    INTRODUCTION

    It’s undeniable, that the Southern cuisine is uniquely different, full of exciting flavors, tasty and delicious, providing us with the traditional taste that we enjoyed from our mother’s kitchen. If you were lucky enough to have lived in the southern region, you would agree with me on this fact.

    I grew up on the awesome taste of pan-fried chicken, greens (such as mustard greens, collard greens, etc.), cornbread, sweet tea, mashed potatoes, fresh fishes and a whole lot of other Southern meals prepared by my Mother.

    Over the years, I have come to realize that the Southern Cuisine goes beyond just a meal, it is a tradition. A tradition that was passed down, from generation to generation, a tradition built on love, hospitality and comfort, which creates long lasting memories of time spent with family, friends and our loved ones.

    The Southern cuisine stands out among other popular cuisines and with a few tweaks and adjustments to the ingredients, your favorite Southern recipes can be adapted into a ketogenic diet, these Southern recipes can be converted to a high fat, low carb recipe that will fit easily into your Ketogenic lifestyle.

    I have taken my time to rediscover the secrets of the Southern Cuisine and effectively tweak its ingredients to fit into my ketogenic lifestyle, which has made me enjoy traditional Southern Keto meals for the past 5 years. You can enjoy flavor filled and mouthwatering Southern recipes while enjoying the benefits of following the ketogenic diet. This and much more, is what you stand to gain from this cookbook even if you are new to the Southern cuisine or Keto lifestyle.

    If you are ready to live a healthy life without sacrificing on delicious and tasty food, let’s get started!

    Soul Food VS Southern Food

    Are all Soul Foods Southern? YES!

    Are all Southern Foods Soul food? NO!

    The two diets are basically the same and influenced by each other. However, the seemingly difference between the two is based on history and culture. People have defined Soul food as a way of cooking that was derived from the West African way of cooking, a basic cooking method, that originated in the rural part of the South and has evolved over the years Although they are the same you should note these few differences in the style of cooking

    Recipes: The Southern Cuisine is made from recipes and follows precise procedures unlike soul food that is made based on knowledge.

    Seasoning: The Southern Cuisine uses herbs and spices but Soul Foods uses seasoning.

    THE KETO DIET

    The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carb diet that puts your body in a natural fat-burning metabolic state called ketosis. This is done by heavily restricting carbs and focusing on high-fat, moderate-protein meals.  It allows the body system to produces ketones in the liver, instead of glucose which is the main source of energy in the body.

    Ketogenic meals are delicious and rich because there are a lot of ingredients you are allowed to use. The Keto diet is all you need to live that healthy life without sacrificing on taste. The major goal of a ketogenic diet is to burn the body fat as a source of energy thereby leading it a healthy and effective weight loss.

    Major Benefits of the Keto Diet

    Improves Heart Health:  Research shows diets high in refined sugar and carbs are far more destructive to the heart and arteries than fat, and have a greater ability to raise blood pressure and promote inflammation.

    Since the keto diet removes all processed carbs and starchy carbs, it may serve as both a preventative and therapeutic diet for those at risk.

    Reduces risk of Cancer: Cancerous tumorous uses glucose as a main source of energy to grow. For this reason, the keto diet is recommended to slow tumor growth in cancer patients of all stages by starving the cells.

    Research has shown the keto diet may also enhance a patient’s response to chemotherapy.

    Reduces Blood Sugar: Since the ketogenic diet removes most carbs, it gives your body a chance to reestablish and reset the communication with insulin, which can improve insulin sensitivity and reverse blood sugar imbalances.

    Weight loss: The ketogenic diet eliminates the carbohydrate from your meals, which helps in preventing excessive insulin from releasing in the body. When the body’s insulin levels are low, it starts burning down the fats much faster, eventually resulting in a good amount of weight loss.

    Now this could mean that your body will also continue burning fat even while you are asleep. This way, the fat burning process can go on 24/7.

    Types of Keto Diet

    There are different ways to follow a Keto Diet. Here are three of the common ones

    Standard Ketogenic Diet: this is the regular and most popular with low carbohydrate, high fat and moderate protein. It usually contains 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbs

    High-Protein Ketogenic Diet:  this is very similar to the standard ketogenic diet, but allows more protein with the ratio often at 60% fat, 35% protein and 5% carbs.

    Cyclical Ketogenic Diet: this type of ketogenic diet allows for a period of higher intake of carbohydrate. For instance, 5 days of the standard ketogenic diet with 2 days of high carbohydrate intake.
