Keto Chili | Spicy No Bean Low Carb High Fat Chili

Keto Chili Recipe

At our house we’ve been talking a lot about getting healthier- summer is coming, well is basically here! For the first time in 15 years of marriage, it seems the whole family is excited about trying new things to eat and getting more active. Since I had my first baby, 14 years ago, I’ve been trying anything and everything to get healthier and honestly, very few things have worked for me.

I do know that eating a Keto Lifestyle has helped me feel better, feel more alert and have more energy. I feel full longer and have less cravings for sugar and carbs when I eat this way. I haven’t lost a ton of weight (but 5 lbs is better than nothing!) but I still believe that it is a great way to eat for my body! What can I say, my body loves keto!  Now…My family is ready to try it too!

Another thing that has helped my body is intermittent fasting. I know it sounds like a crazy thing but really it just means eating within a specific window of time and not eating during the other part (fasting). There are so many great articles on this subject, so I won’t go into details here, but I have been using the 16:8 method. Fasting for 16 hrs and eating within an 8 hr window. What does this have to do with Keto? Eating a High Fat, Low Carb, Moderate Protein diet will help to keep your tummy from growling during your fasting window. Honestly, I’m hardly hungry….and what I’ve noticed is the more I fast, the less hungry I am.

The down side to this (like any change in diet) is that you need to be prepared with high fat low carb foods that you can take on the go or pull out for dinner really easily. This chili is perfect for that! I love that I can throw it together in 30 minutes and put it in the crock pot for later, or eat it right away. This would be a perfect meal at the end of you eating window. It will keep you full, all the way till morning.
