Leading Doctors Say We Thrive Best on Low Carb (0-120g Carbs Per Day)…The Challenge is What To Eat? (Especially During Lockdown)
So you’re thinking about giving the keto diet a go or are coming back to it after some time off…
Maybe you feel like you’ve failed in the past and struggled to stick with it, or that it’s hard when your family’s not really onboard (who wants to be making two sets of meals?!)
If you’re honest, you’re wondering if you’ll ever be able to go low-carb or keto for any length of time and see even some of the results that so many other people rave about…
Super keto benefits like excellent brain power and mental focus (hey, I dunno about you but I need all I can get!), all-day energy, rapid fat loss, flat stomach, beautiful digestion, pain reduction, clearer skin…oh and let’s not forget balanced blood sugar, hormones and more ‘good’ cholesterol and less of the bad.
These are all within your reach when you get and stay in ketosis for a while – and you’ve seen that.
You’re in the Facbook groups that seem to have post after post of positive weight loss results, like these…
…but you’re wondering if this will ever work for you?
I know that feeling.
When I first started the keto diet, I actually GAINED weight and I was quietly very annoyed that on paper keto looked AWESOME, but in reality, it was not working for me as I had expected.
As a former high carb, low fat vegan of 6 years, I had loads of lovely foods and meals I liked to eat. Heck, I even wrote my two published recipe books that were high carb and completely plant based.
But when I found myself falling frequently ill and losing energy and motivation on a vegan diet and then really understanding the mighty benefits of low carb, high fat and keto, I have to admit…I wanted to jump right in, but I was a bit stumped as to what to eat.
On keto we are generally encouraged to eat, well, grass fed butter, coconut oil, nuts, cheese, bacon, fatty meats…
But I found that there’s only so many butter ‘bulletproof’ coffees, fried eggs and fat bombs that a girl can have in a day without 1) getting bored and 2) putting on weight from simply eating too many calories.
[QUICK ASIDE ON CALORIES: Yes it’s true that not all calories are equal and 100 cals of coconut oil has a vastly different and superior effect on your body than 100 cals of sugary cake…BUT, the fact is that – keto or not – if you consume too many calories of anything then you will gain weight.
You simply cannot break the first law of thermodynamics which states that energy is not lost or gained but it can change form – i.e. excess calories that aren’t used up are stored as fat on your hips, belly and thighs!]
I needed some meal inspiration to help me nail this keto diet and get the results I wanted.
But here’s the trouble with just Googling ‘keto diet recipes’…
As you’ll know there are a gazillion keto recipe blogs with beautiful pictures, inspiring blurbs and delicious looking versions of our favorite non-keto foods.
That’s all fine and good and they have their place.
BUT…
Unlike any other diet, keto requires PRECISION.
Precision in your macronutrients of each meal and each day’s set of meals (around 70-80% fat, 15% protein and 5% carbs) but also precision in your daily MICRONUTRIENTS – things like alkaline mineral electrolytes, and calorie-balanced too.
If we just pick a few recipes in isolation that are all keto but not OPTIMISED for your micronutrients and calories as well as your macros…
You. Will. Fail.
Sorry to break it to you. This is tough love my friend.
[Consider me your dietary arm round the shoulder and kick up the rear – that’s the style of coaching and nutritional expertise that my clients know and love me for – it gets results! Oh and yes, I know far too many Big Lebowski quotes than a Christian woman really should!]
Keto is a powerful beast but if you don’t stick to the rules – namely making sure you take care of all your ALKALINE ELECTROLYTE NEEDS (let that sink in) then you’ll be highly discouraged and could end up with an extended ‘keto flu’, spinning your wheels and eventually conclude…
“Keto just didn’t work for me”
[That would be a crying shame. Let’s change that.]
I wasn’t going to settle for this in my life and I don’t want you to either. I spent a year optimising my keto diet and eventually hit the jackpot…
I finally lost weight, had more energy than I knew what to do with and, most surprisingly to me, experienced ZERO cravings for unhealthy and processed foods – like sugar, cakes, pastries and bread.
I now absolutely LOVE being in a state of nutritional ketosis and all the benefits that go with it. I rarely think about food, I have more time and energy, my blood sugar is beautifully stable – no more peaks and crashes.
YOU can experience this too.
Imagine being able to run around the park with your grand kids, or a 5k race with your kids, without your knees and back aching…
Imagine waking up with joy and thinking “YES!! A brand new day!” and NOT having to take a cocktail of medications…
What would it feel like to not have to hide a stomach that you feel ashamed of with frumpy clothes? Imagine being able to confidently wear that cute dress or tight jeans that’ve been gathering dust in the back of your closet for several years (or decades).
Hey friend, this is yours for the taking! I promise you.
How do I know? Because I’ve seen it over and over again with my clients in my Keto Life 4-week program (where I guide them through a well optimised keto-alkaline diet over a 4 week period) and also in my monthly Keto & Low Carb Coaching Club meal plans (more on that in a mo). Take a look…
[TESTIMONIALS]
[Feel free to join Keto Life now if you like, it will give you an excellent grounding in starting and thriving with a ketogenic diet – I recommend you start there if you’re serious about nailing keto and want to lose around 30lbs, get out of a diabetic or pre-diabetic range or heal joint pain or any other inflammatory issue.]
I’ve also created Keto & Low Carb Coaching Club, which I’m excited to tell you about here…
So What is Keto & Low Carb Coaching Club?
KLCC is my monthly membership (housed in an exclusive online members-only site that you can access anywhere and on any device) where I give you two new well-formulated meal plans and sets of recipes, plus an advanced keto health masterclass and coaching call each month to help you truly soar with your keto and low carb diet and get the results you’ve been longing for.
Here’s what you get each month…
#1: A New 14-Day Themed Meal Plan, Recipe Book & Shopping List ($54 Value)
Everything is taken care of for you – each daily plan is optimised to be either fully keto (less than 50g net carbs) or low carb (under 120g net carbs, for times when you want slightly more flexibility: The leading keto and low carb clued-up doctors say less than 120g of carbs best (1), and I agree).
Every single daily meal plan is low in carbs, high in good fats and moderate in protein, which is the sweet spot for achieving your very best health…and you get to enjoy a variety of easy, delicious foods that you’ll love(and your husband and kids too!)
On top of that, you get a complete shopping list and recipe book for each meal plan – all full color, printable and you can access on your smartphone, tablet, computer, anytime. It’s super-simple.
I know I’m biased but the gorgeous photos for each recipe and the way the meal plans are laid out, really motivate you to try and follow them with anticipation and joy.
It’s kind of like opening a new present each day and week, discovering and unwrapping new meals that you can add to your healthy and keto toolbox…As well as unwrapping your new body along the way!
Here’s a sneak preview of some of the plans…
KLCC Month 1 is a classic Keto Alkaline Meal Plan and you’ll be enjoying things like:
- Chocolate Avocado Smoothie
- Crustless Broccoli Cheddar Quiche
- Asian Meatballs with Cauliflower Rice
- Coconut Chia Pudding
- Chive Flatbread
- Zucchini Fries
This first meal plan will really help you get to grips with including enough alkaline mineral electrolytes into your ketogenic diet…
For every recipe and plan, you’ll see all the electrolytes listed – amounts of Potassium, Magnesium, Sodium and Calcium, and it’s optimised to ensure you thrive on keto, even if you’ve struggled with it in the past, or are brand new.
This is super important and will set you up well for the rest of your life to be able to go into a well-formulated keto diet protocol whoever you want – doing keto the right way and accessing its key benefits.
KLCC Month 2 is Quick & Easy Keto with recipes like:
- One-pan Mediterranean Trout
- Sausage, Broccoli and Cabbage Stir Fry

This meal plan will be your savior for when time is short, you’re busy or travelling and you want something easy, healthy and ketogenic with zero fuss and that you can grab on-the-go.
KLCC Month 3 is Hormone Balancing Low Carb with mouth-watering meals such as:
- No-Bake Pumpkin Protein Bars
- Bloat-Fighting Tropical Smoothie
- Cinnamon Flax Muffins
- Kale Caesar Salad with Seared Chicken

This plan is slightly higher in carbs and is totally about getting your hormones in good working order – especially good for women who want to balance estrogen and progesterone, and are facing menopause…let’s work on those hot flashes!
It’s also great for men who want to boost their testosterone. Being low carb, it of course naturally helps get your blood sugar and insulin in check too.
Every single one of our KLCC meal plans are naturally free from preservatives, flavors, colors and any other additives, plus they’re free from the big 3 inflammatory toxins that can cause metabolic disease and other serious health issues…
All meal plans are free from industrial vegetable oils, refined white sugar and wheat.

Keto is one major piece – we also look at topics such as gut health, exactly how many calories you should be eating each day when on and off keto, balancing your hormones, reducing inflammation, intermittent fasting, smart supplementation, parasite cleansing, optimum sleep and more!
This enables you to get cutting edge health resources and training for a fraction of the price of consulting 1-1 with a functional medicine doctor, nutritionist or naturopath and live your most vibrant life with smart health practices and bio hacks.
Additionally, you get…
#3: A Live 60-Minute Q&A Coaching Call With Laura ($97 Value)
Come and ask your burning questions and get them answered each month on our live 60-minute small group coaching Q&A call with me.
This is great for keeping yourself motivated, accountable, on-track and in community with your peers in KLCC, as well as giving you tailored advice on your particular circumstances, challenges and goals.
Now, here’s the kicker…
Right now, for a limited time, KLCC is just $7 for the first 30 days.
For the price of a full-fat latte and a bunless burger, you get to access the full Keto Alkaline meal plan, recipe book, shopping list, masterclass and Q&A coaching call.
You could use this alone as your blueprint that you come back to time and time again for better health and weight loss…
For just $7 you have a golden ticket to food freedom.
My No-Risk Promise…
I want to make this a total no-brainer for you… Join KLCC, test drive it, look at the quality of what you’re getting and if for any reason you’re not happy then you can cancel your membership at any time, no problem…
If it’s not quite what you expected, or it’s not the right time for you, or you don’t like my voice, or the fonts I use…any reason at all, you can cancel, no hard feelings, no further payments. (Of course, you can return again in the future whenever you want.)
But if, like most people, you LOVE Keto & Low Carb Coaching Club then you’ll simply continue your subscription, for a very reasonable $27 every 30 days.
Again, I want to make this totally affordable and a no-brainer for people who really want to upgrade their diet, energy levels, healing and achieve their dream body, finally!
To hire me as your personal Nutritionist starts at $97 per 45-minute session. To have me create you a meal plan starts at $97. Doctors fees are sky-high, prescriptions drugs and surgery costs make us shudder at the thought…
This, my friend, is a breath of fresh air that could be just what you’re looking for and need. I want you happy and healthy, not fearful, down and worrying about extortionate costs of medical care.
So, let’s do this…
Sign up now for just $7 (while it’s still available at that price) and I’ll look forward to welcoming you into the KLCC members area.
I can’t wait for you to try your first Keto Alkaline meal plan and experience the results!
Blessings,
Laura “love creating these delicious keto meal plans for you” Rimmer
