Low Carb OMAD Queso Blanco Chicken w Bacon Mashed Potatoes

You’ll never feel the need to visit a restaurant again after you make yourself this Keto OMAD recipe with queso blanco chicken and buttery bacon “mashed potatoes”. Thin chicken breast is seasoned and fried in extra olive oil. Then, it’s finished off in a thick and tangy white cheese sauce. Flavors of lime juice, onion, and jalapeno flavor the sauce that fills your whole plate. Your side dish is a heaping pile of mashed cauliflower, which acts and tastes just like mashed potatoes. By adding butter and seasonings, you’d never know the difference between cauliflower and potatoes. Your mashed cauliflower is topped off with loads of bacon bits. A sprinkling of Mexican Tajin seasoning adds the extra salt you need to the dish. Tajin seasoning is a popular Mexican seasoning made with lime salt and spices. If you don’t have access to this seasoning, replace it with squeezes of fresh lime juice and a pinch of sea salt.

Should I Fast On The Keto Diet?

When the Keto diet was originally invented in the early 1900s, fasting was incorporated into the diet. Reducing your meal times (not calories) can teach your body to go into ketosis and use fat for fuel instead of simple carbs. This also teaches the body to regulate energy sources and other natural hormones. If you’re new to the Keto diet, speak with a professional about incorporating fasting before you start.

When Do I Start OMAD Fasting?

OMAD fasting is not recommended for Keto newbies unless this is a type of fasting you’re already accustomed to. Otherwise, start OMAD fasting after you’ve created some regularity in your Keto diet. Starting Keto and the OMAD diet all at once can result in dangerous levels of fatigue, brain fog, nausea, and feelings of sickness. After your body passes the initial “keto-flu” phase, you can begin incorporating a fasting routine.
