With Keto For One, get 100 delicious dishes for every meal of the
day-perfectly proportioned and macro-balanced. Single-serve cooking
is one of the biggest challenges when trying to adhere to an eating
plan. Most recipes are portioned for 4-6 servings, which means
you'll be eating the same thing for a week or trying to adjust
recipes and struggling to figure out proper cooking times and
fractions of measurements. With keto, you also have the additional
challenge of balancing your macronutrients-a few too many carbs or
not enough fat and your recipe is no longer in the ketogenic zone.
No more fussing with recipes. No more eating leftovers. No more
wasted food (or money!). No more cobbling together snacks and
calling it a meal. No more temptation to give into carb-laden,
nutrient-void, single-serving convenience foods. Just delicious
recipes from "low-carb queen" and best-selling author Dana
Carpender. Enjoy delicious keto burgers and smoothies, as well as
quick skillet stir-fries and plenty of tasty meals that can be
pulled together quickly or ahead of time.
