INTRODUCTION

When I first discovered the ketogenic diet, I thought it would be just another fad diet or temporary weight loss solution. I had tried so many different diets in the past (at the time I was over 40), yet none of the diets I tried seemed to give me results. I was utterly frustrated with being hungry, counting calories, and exercising to the point of exhaustion or injury. As a last resort, I decided to try the ketogenic low-carb diet, merely because it was the only one I hadn’t tried yet. Thinking that the diet would inevitably fail, I was astonished that I lost weight, saw clearer skin, and gained extra energy while enjoying delicious foods without any hunger. I’m in my fifties now and could not be happier with the ketogenic lifestyle, as I feel even better than I did in my twenties. I genuinely feel like I’ve found the fountain of youth.

Discovering the Instant Pot, a popular and multifunctional appliance, was a game changer for me. The Instant Pot makes cooking healthy ketogenic meals easier and faster, and with fewer dishes to wash. The keto diet, with the help of the Instant Pot, is a winning combination that makes eating healthy a breeze.

This book will give you the basics on how to start a ketogenic diet, count your net carbs, and use your Instant Pot, and it includes 100 healthy, flavorful, ketogenic recipes to prepare in the Instant Pot. I want this to be a resource and tool for you so that you will have everything you need to start a ketogenic lifestyle with your Instant Pot.
