Is this Easy Stuffed Pepper Soup Keto Friendly??
Yes! One of the common misconceptions about a Keto diet is that it’s a set list of foods when in fact it’s a metabolic state where you optimize YOUR diet with a unique ratio of high fat, moderate protein and low carbs to get your body into ketosis (where you burn fat for energy instead of carbs).
For most people the “key” macro is the carbs and while the general guideline is to start at 20 net grams of carbs per day, some need more and some need less.
This recipe yields 8 servings, each serving contains 12 grams of net carbs exclusively from healthy vegetable sources, so plan your daily menu accordingly.
If you want some extra fat with this meal, I enjoy my Easy Stuffed Pepper Soup with a big dollop of sour cream on top!
Yours in Health,
