1 Tablespoon of Avocado Oil

1/4 Cup Chopped Onions

1/2 Tsp Kosher Salt

1 lb of Ground Turkey

1/2 Cup of Chopped Mushrooms

1/2 Cup of Parmesan Cheese

1 Large Egg

12 large cubes of Fontina or Cheddar Cheese

12 strips of Turkey Bacon Cut in half lengthwise.

Preheat the oven to 400 Degrees Fahrenheit.

Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the onions, sprinkle with the salt, and cook for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent. Remove the onions to a bowl to cool.

Put the ground turkey , chopped mushrooms, parmesan cheese, and egg in a bowl. When the onions are no longer hot to the touch, add them to the bowl with the meat mixture and work everything together with your hands.

Shape the meat mixture into  2 inch balls around a large cheese cube. Wrap half a strip of bacon around the entire meatball.  Place the wrapped meatballs on a Silpat or foil lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until bacon is cooked and golden brown.

So many people are experiencing dramatic WEIGHTLOSS through the power of KETO eating! So just what is KETO  you might ask? It is a way of eating that causes your body to go into a state of Ketosis quicker than traditional dieting by reducing your carbohydrate intake to 20 grams or less a day. The diet consists of the food groups in these ratios 70% fat, 25% protein and 5% carbohydrates. This diet can also be Gluten Free!

Why is Aloe Vera Juice helpful for a person doing a KETO Diet? Aloe Vera Juice Concentrate by Aloe Life is the #1 choice for increasing digestion of foods to include fats and proteins. As you can see above the KETO Diet has a high concentration of fats at 70% and 25% protein. Aloe Vera Juice is also great at increasing energy because of its abundance of trace minerals and vitamins!

Aloe Gold Juice Concentrate by Aloe Life has very low carbs at 1 gram per 1oz and also available in tablets.

Daily Greens supports energy and detox while dieting and is nutrient dense plus gluten free dark green vegetables, 2 grams per 1 1/2 tsp or 6 Tablets.

Fibermate Tablets are wonderful to support daily regularity because constipation may be experienced during the Keto diet. It only has 1 carb per 3 tablets!

We encourage you to choose healthy foods when planning your meals including as many fresh vegetables and fruits as allowable (only low carb ones)! My family has found a great help in using a food scale and a chart of the nutrition content in the foods to make sure you are staying within the daily guidelines for success!

Exercise of all types for approximately 30-45 min per day is important for reaching your health goals!  The stress relief and cardio affects are amazing and noticeable. A great website to check out is https://www.runtastic.com/. They also have great u tube videos on the Runtastic channel of workouts to follow for abs, legs, etc. from 5-30 min long!! Get Active do your best and get results!
