Low-Carb Meals For The Family!
There shouldn't be a meal that you can't make into a low-carb option. So many families are making two meals, spending so much money, and asking for some ideas. I will help make your meals low-carb, we'll figure it out. You can go to Google or even Pinterest, and look for replacements for almost anything. 
Welcome to the Keto Mom page, my name is Stephanie. I wanted to do a little collaboration because I have many people preparing mainly for Christmas.
So the conversations have been around not wanting to make two meals a day, or specific meals that might work for the entire family.
I want to give you just a basic understanding of how we did it, starting seven and a half years ago. We incorporated our four daughters into our journey, and we avoided saying things like "Mommy and daddy are doing a diet". We all ate healthier, and there were some meals that really helped us as a family.
What is your go-to family meal that can be low carb, or for those who don't want to be low carb?
I shared some of our favorite meals, I can make anything in a crock pot, It's super simple with some meat and veggies. We love chili, and you can make that low-carb. You can use any vegetables and meats, then ratio the sauce. The girls can choose to put Fritos or crackers in it.
You can also make yourself some low-carb tortillas and chips, those are super delicious. We love to do crock pot, veggies, and meat. We do chicken tacos and any type of pasta using zucchini noodles.

Don't overthink it!
If you're going to have tacos, use a low-carb wrap. You can also have lettuce or taco salad. I think the biggest thing is people trying to make this diet so perfect. Choose better options, and look for different replacements.
"Eat when you're hungry, not when you're bored".
Eat when your body's hungry, and you can make this work for your entire family. Years ago, when we first started eating this way, the biggest thing I tell parents was to avoid talking about "Mom being fat", "Dad being fat", or "Mom and dad are on a diet"...
"Why would I whine about being fat or complain about the way I look?"
I'm fat
I don't like how I look
I have to eat the salad
If you're constantly complaining, why would your kids want to eat the food that you're eating? Think about it. They're probably thinking the food is only for you. Why would I want to eat that salad, when mom's always complaining about it?
Look at your health and goals and be a healthier version of yourself. Do not complain about how you look, just do the best that you can. If I am cooking for other people in our home, I'm not going to gripe about having to make two meals because I'm going to make one. I'm going to be resourceful, and I want my kids to try some vegetables and salads.
My husband said, "Kids are the perfect reflection of the parent's behaviors, habits, and words".
I would challenge you to watch your words and how you speak about your body. If you do that, your kids will eat the food that you serve. When we started eating as a family and making healthier choices, our words were "We're going to eat healthy as a family so that we can take care of our bodies".
We started with one vegetable at a time, and all of us tried it. There were things that we liked and things that we didn't like. And as we tried different things, we found different things to talk about as a family.
I'm also going to talk about my mom fuel or ketones. It's called Keto NAT, but I call it my mom fuel. If you're going to buy yourself a Christmas gift, I want you to buy yourself the gift of health.
"Why do I drink ketones if your body can make ketones?"
