My keto chili rellenos are a great recipe for weight loss. I would like to share some advice about how you can use this recipe to reach your weight loss goals. You can read more about weight loss at Keto for Weight Loss.
My chili rellenos are a low calorie meal, however, calorie restriction does always equal weight loss. Calorie restriction often does not work, because your body needs adequate nutrients. If you are constantly limiting nutrients, your body will have a natural backlash of hunger, which can lead to binge eating, a failed diet, and malnutrition.
You can prevent these common problems. Set yourself up for success by adequately nourishing your body from the start. Read more about Tracking Nutrition on the Keto Diet.
Adequately nourishing your body is probably the most important factor in weight loss. Eating nutrient dense foods will give your body the fuel it needs to function properly. For example, if you are craving chocolate, you might be deficient in magnesium, an essential mineral.
Taking a daily magnesium citrate supplement or eating a couple tablespoons of cocoa nibs could help with your sweet tooth. This is how you can lose weight by nourishing your body!
My keto chili rellenos are only 365 calories per serving. This is actually too low for weight loss. You will probably need to add a bit more cheese, sour cream, or chorizo to adequate nourish your body. You could put a chili relleno on cauliflower rice with Mexican spices. Even a few black beans is not a diet breaker. A 1/4 cup of canned black beans is only 6g net carbs. Don't be afraid of a few healthy carbs! Eating nutrient dense foods sets you up for successful weight loss.
