About Ketogenic Slow Cooker Cookbook: 100 Irresistible Low-Carb Recipes for Weight Loss and Improved Health (Ketogenic & Low-Carb Recipes):
Slow cook your way to better health!
Slow cookers have been around for decades and are a staple in most homes, but did you know just how good of a tool they are when it comes to cooking healthy food? This book walks you through how to use a slow cooker, how to find the best one for your family, and why its versatility and convenience can make the ketogenic diet easier.
What is the ketogenic diet? It’s the low-carb, high-fat diet of your dreams that lets you eat full-fat dairy, steak, vegetables, and more. This book will explore the science behind “ketosis,” which is when the body relies on ketones instead of protein or carbs for fuel, as well as how to power through rough patches of the journey. You’ll also find advice on grocery shopping and pantry stocking.
Substitutions like cauliflower rice, cauliflower mash, zoodles, and spaghetti squash make giving up grains, rice, and pasta much easier. When you’re traveling, there are also ways to stay on track, like by doing lots of research on local eateries, bringing your own food when you can, and finding a hotel with a kitchen. As for the recipes in the book, you’ll find 100 that cover breakfasts, sides and snacks, desserts, and all kinds of meals using poultry, seafood, beef, and more. There are keto-approved variations on classics like egg casseroles, pot roasts, chicken soup, and dips, as well as desserts for both chocolate or citrus lovers. Some of those awesome dishes include:
Mandarin chicken wings with a homemade orange sauce
Bacon and Swiss chicken
Cider-braised beef shanks
Tilapia with chili- butter
Vegetarian lasagna
Homemade condiments like ketchup and Alfredo sauce
Almond-fudge cake
Lime-cheesecake custard
The ketogenic diet has been shown to boost a person’s energy, sharpen their mental clarity, protect against serious diseases, and lead to weight loss. With a tool like the slow cooker and a book like this, finding inspiration has never been easier!

Author Bio:
Meet Vanessa Olsen, proud author residing in Waterloo, Ontario with her affectionate cat, Nellie. She graduated from Ryerson’s prestigious School of Nursing in the spring of 2010 and now works as a sports nutritionist. As a child, Vanessa was known in her hometown of Gilford, Ontario for growing her own veggies in the backyard and captaining many different sports teams. It is no wonder she grew up to be the health nut she is while helping others with her health nut knowledge.
Her job requires patience and a lot of research. Every work day, Vanessa educates athletes on different areas of diet, nutrition, and exercise. Each athlete is very unique, having distinct lifestyles, eating habits, training schedules, medications and supplements. All these elements need to be taken into consideration before an applicable action plan can be put together to better their health and performance. In a typical work week, Vanessa works with up to 30 different athletic clients.
When Vanessa isn’t teaching athletes how to up their game, she can be found at the gym upping her own. Her protein powder collection is impressive – it’s usually the first thing she shows off when guests come to visit. This goes without saying that her favorite room in the house is the kitchen. She has a passion for creating and preparing her very own home-grown, nutritious recipes – many of which can be found throughout her books!
