The Secret To Ketosis: Green Chef

Everywhere we look, there seems to be a new healthy lifestyle or eating plan popping up. At first, it can all seem pretty overwhelming — low carb, organic, high protein, vegetarian options — but in reality, there are an infinite amount of resources available to stay on track and achieve your goals.

If you're someone who looks for convenience, you might've tried a meal kit delivery service or two. They're easy, time efficient, and often sustainably sourced, but most don't offer meals specifically tailored to a particular diet. Green Chef does just that. The award winning company is dedicated to offering balanced and nutritious meals, whether your diet is vegan, keto, paleo, or otherwise. The Keto diet, in particular, has been booming recently due to its filling meals and quick results. Plus, it's a bacon-lover's paradise. If you're new to the world of Keto, I'm answering all your questions about how Green Chef helped me stay on track.

How does Green Chef work?

The delivery service is the most affordable way to eat well, no matter what your dietary goals or restrictions are. Preparing for a diet seems intimidating at first, but Green Chef makes it easy to have perfectly balanced, nutritious meals every day of the week. After choosing your food preferences and if you want a family plan, a box arrives at your doorstep each week with all the ingredients you need to whip up balanced, wholesome meals in about 30 minutes. Also, you can cancel or pause your subscription at any time without hassle.

How much will it cost me?

After signing up, you get to select the delivery date and wait for the deliciousness to arrive on your doorstep. Prices vary based on plan, but never exceed $12.99 per meal, which is great considering how expensive fresh produce can be in the supermarket. And even though there is a shipping fee, you really can't beat getting the fresh ingredients sent directly to you.

Why keto?

Great question! Green Chef wants help you live your best lifestyle, no matter how big or small your needs are. For some, that means entering the state of ketosis through the keto diet — a plan in which only 5-10% of your calories come from carbs. The rest is from protein and fat, which means meals need to be to-the-number specific and made with good quality ingredients.

How will Green Chef help me?

The diet may sound easy peasy (consume lots of cheese, fatty meats, and no bread whatsoever), but just think how hard this could be on your own, with no assistance. The service guarantees that you'll stay on your keto grind while offering variety, with five new meal options to choose from each week.. Plus,the dinner options are so versatile and much more exciting than the same-old, same-old most of us are used to.

They strive to provide the freshest, in season and preservative free ingredients, and they only use consciously raised meats.

What type of keto meals are on the menu?

Vietnamese Steak Salad, Chicken Alfredo, and Shaved Steak Wraps are just a few drool worthy recipes on the keto plan. Each includes pre-measured and portioned ingredients, plus delicious sauces, dressings, and spices. Green Chef has an amazing team of chefs who have developed an extensive database of well balanced and nutritious recipes.

Will Green Chef save me time?

Most Keto folks know the diet is no walk in the park when it comes to planning, shopping and cooking. With Green Chef, the weekly boxes are a one-stop shop for everything you need. And even with a lot of meat and veggies to prepare, the meals still will only take up 30 minutes out of your day. Finally, you can get time back to do what you really want — play Candy Crush.

Has it helped you, personally, on your keto journey?

It has! I'm a young working professional who prioritizes health and wellness. Unfortunately, these two things usually don't work well together. But when I gave Green Chef a chance, I learned how easy it would be to cook well-balanced Keto meals while still having time for everything else happening day-to-day. And before trying the Keto meals, I saw the diet as a temporary thing — something to jumpstart a weight loss goal and keep me focused throughout the summer. But now, it's become a lifestyle change. The meal plan has made it easy and affordable to maintain. I know I can stay keto long term because of how many new ideas, cooking techniques, and recipes I've learned from Green Chef.
