    What is the benefit of eating low-carb?

    The key benefit of a low-carb diet is how your body creates energy. Your body begins to burn fat more efficiently instead of glucose. Healthy fats allow you to feel satiated for a longer period of time.

    The combination of these two factors means you eat less and create energy as a fat burner as opposed to a sugar burner.

    What is the easiest low-carb meal plan?

    This will sound like a joke, but it's the truth. The easiest low-carb meal plan is one that you don't have to do all the work to create.

    When life is already keeping you active and busy it's nice to be able to delegate some of the work, isn't it? It's all about making your life easier even with a diet in place.

    What Does a Meal Plan Look Like?

    If you grab the meal plans from RealPlans, they will include a weekly meal plan, shopping list, and recipes. I wasn't joking when I said the easiest meal plan is one that you don't have to do all the work.

    You can learn more about their meal plans from my post, Free Weekly Keto Meal Plan. It's just amazingly simple and easy to follow. No more worrying about what to cook from one week to the next.

    Making Meal Prepping Easy

    Meal prepping occurs after your meal planning. This is the part where we actually have to put in some effort. But here are a few simple tips to simplify the process.

    • Figure out how many servings you'll need for each meal for the week. (For example, 4 people x 4 dinners = 16 servings) You can reserve a day to take care of those leftovers.
    • Pick a main protein like chicken, beef, or pork. You can use your main protein in a number of recipes to create enough variety where it doesn't feel like you're eating the same thing over and over.
    • Prep ready to cook meals and freeze them. You'll slowly build up a stock to work through busy weekdays.
    • Use airtight food containers to pack portioned lunches for the week.
