Being healthy can be a bit of a bore when you’re forced to spend big chunks of your day chopping meat and vegetables while resisting the urge to dial up a takeaway. That’s exactly why I’ve delegated most of my cooking duties to my trusty crockpot. Over the past six months, I’ve stepped away from the cutting board and settled for the easy option of shoveling food into the slow cooker. It’s saved hours upon hours of precious time that I’ve been able to use thinking up catchy click-bait titles for blog posts instead.And the best part, it’s fully keto. Or close enough. There’s one or two carbs in there, but it’s just residue. It’s still going to do exactly what it says on the tin, put the boot down on appetite and get you fat adapted. This is what happens when you’ve been distancing yourself from sugar and getting your energy from fats instead. Weight loss is a lot easier when your body’s preferred energy source isn’t the most addictive substance known to man. Try getting addicted to this recipe, and you’ll see what I mean. It tastes great, and you’ll probably want to go back again the next day, but you won’t be lying in bed contemplating one last fridge raid.The serving I use makes up around 1000 calories, which sounds like a lot, but then you realise that it’s the one big meal that I allow myself in the day. A shake and a bowl of soup later, I’m done and back on the fasting gravy train again.
