In past Thanksgivings, where I was eating low carb because of gestational diabetes, I just had to refrain from eating much at potlucks or get-togethers, and I felt so deprived on a low carb/ketogenic diet. This was because I didn’t know of any alternatives to the things I most wanted to eat. This thanksgiving, however, after doing a lot of research, I am going to be feasting and enjoying myself WITHOUT feeling deprived. There are so many alternatives to the typical carby treats…and they are not any less delicious than the real deal. Here are some of the things I’ll be making or eating this year:
1.) Pork rind stuffing
2.) Jalapeno Cheddar Bacon Deviled Eggs
3.) Ricotta dressing
(if you use sage and poultry seasoning instead of spinach, or on top of it, it will taste like dressing.)
4.) Cauliflower mashed potatoes
5.) Kale Chips (these are actually crispy!)
6.) Cauliflower Mac and Cheese
7.) Keto Fudge
Happy Thanksgiving! Feel free to add your favorite low carb recipe in the comments below!

What is a ketogenic diet?

A ketogenic diet is basically a low carb and high fat (moderate protein) diet in which the goal is to reach a state of ketosis. Ketosis is a natural state where your body uses fatty acids called ketones instead of glucose for fuel.
